Robert F. Kennedy’s critics are sharing their fury after he debuted an eyebrow-raising promotional video on social media, but some claimed the content is ‘exactly’ why they voted Republican.
The 72-year-old Health and Human Services Secretary took to X on Thursday (26 February) to share a clip of a fake toy based on his likeness in action.
In the Artificial Intelligence-generated clip, the so-called ‘Kennedy Action Figure’ could be seen battling against a monster with ‘chronic disease’ emblazoned across its chest.
The faux figure then ‘increased his strength’ by drinking ‘real milk’ and defeated the petroleum-derived synthetic dye Red 40. He later changed clothes to help a Peregrine Falcon out of a waterway.

“My message is clear: eat real food,” the AI video said, showing the fabled toy flipping a pyramid upside down.
“Flip the pyramid to put the real food we need on top,” the advert continued.
AI-generated toys in the likeness of boxer Mike Tyson, 59, and US President Donald Trump, 79, were also present in the video, with the former also ‘saying’ the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) slogan.
Critics and fans alike have come out to debate the bizarre clip, with one typing: “Love this. Thanks for all you do!”
“We needed this 30 years ago,” reported a second. A third commented: “THIS is exactly what I voted for. lol More, please.”
However, not everyone was impressed with the promo clip, with another social media user sharing a meme reading: “Wondering is satire or serious.”
“And you want to be taken seriously?? What a f*****g joke,” a second replied.
Someone else wrote: “Using up all our drinking water for this. Most unserious wackjobs ever.”
FOODbible has contacted the Health and Human Services Secretary for comment.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that one of RFK Jr.’s MAHA videos has gone viral.
Earlier this month, the father-of-six uploaded a topless workout video with American singer Kid Rock, 55, in a bid to influence people to ‘get active and eat real food’.
The video, described as ‘Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock’s Rock Out Workout’, was set to the rocker’s track ‘Bawitdaba’. It saw the pair preparing food, doing sit-ups, and hitting the sauna.
In the hot room, Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was completing press-ups while RFK Jr. rode on a stationary exercise bike in a pair of jeans.
The environmental lawyer also made headlines earlier this week after announcing he was making a U-turn on ‘toxic’ pesticides.
After previously winning a landmark case against chemical giant Monsanto by arguing its Roundup weedkiller contributed to his client’s cancer, he took to social media to say that without pesticides and herbicides the US food industry would collapse.
“If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous.
"I support President Trump's Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations,” he added.
