If you thought the Secretary of Health and Human Services’s relationship to animals couldn’t get any weirder, buckle up, because Kerry Kennedy just spilled the tea on her brother, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. During a recent chat on CNN’s Erin Burnett OUTFront, she recounted a bizarre incident that’s sure to raise eyebrows. Picture this: a birthday party for her daughter, a garden, and a snake. Yes, you heard that right.
Kerry recalled, “I was looking in the garden, and I found a snake. So I called Bobby. He just lived a mile down the road and I said, ‘There’s a snake in the garden.’” What followed was a scene straight out of a horror-comedy flick. RFK Jr. rushed over, infant son in one arm and a pillowcase in the other. Because, you know, that’s how you handle snakes when you’re a Kennedy.
“He grabbed the snake and stuffed it into the pillowcase while he was holding his infant son,” Kerry said, adding, “So that was a little scary.” But things took a turn for the chaotic when he decided to showcase his new pet to the kids at the party. He reached into the bag, and surprise, surprise, the snake bit him. But did that stop him? Of course not! He pulled out the snake for all the kids to see, which, let’s be honest, is a surefire way to send a group of children into a panic.
But wait, there’s more! As if this snake show wasn’t enough, RFK Jr. then spotted a small rodent scurrying around. What did he do? He grabbed it and tossed it into the bag with the snake! Cue the screams from the pool full of kids. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, he released the snake into the swimming pool. Yes, folks, a snake in a pool full of children. What could possibly go wrong?
This wild tale raises some serious questions about RFK Jr.’s fitness for his role in the Department of Health and Human Services, especially given his controversial stance on health issues, including his anti-trans policies. It’s ironic that he calls gender-affirming care “mutilation” while admitting to cutting up animals, as highlighted in a recent biography, RFK Jr: The Rise and Fall. In fact, during his failed 2024 presidential campaign, he made headlines for transporting dead animals and even cutting the head off a whale.
So, while RFK Jr. is busy trying to limit access to gender-affirming care for youth, perhaps he should focus more on keeping children safe from snake bites. After all, if he can’t handle a snake at a birthday party, how can we trust him with the health of our communities? It’s a wild world out there, and this family drama just adds another layer to the already tangled web of RFK Jr.’s controversial legacy.
