Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a bizarre AI-generated video of himself shirtless wrestling with a Twinkie as the Secretary of Health and Human Services continues to promote his “Make America Healthy Again” movement.
Trump administration officials have a penchant for sharing AI-generated videos to further their agenda, and Kennedy was no exception, posting a video to the Limp Bizkit song “Rollin'” with the caption “Mahamania: Snack Down” on Sunday’s X show.
In the clip, an AI-generated Kennedy is shirtless and grapples with a man in a Twinkie costume holding a placard that reads: [heart] junk food. ”
After kicking Twinkie multiple times and slamming him to the ground, the health secretary was declared the winner and the words “Eat real food” appeared on the screen.
Kennedy has stepped up her efforts to popularize the so-called MAHA movement through a variety of other truly bizarre actions, including exercising in jeans and sharing footage of herself working out with musician Kid Rock.
Since taking office, President Kennedy has waged an aggressive campaign against ultra-processed foods, arguing that they are poisoning Americans.
But Kennedy told lawmakers during his confirmation hearing that he wasn’t aiming for anyone’s Big Mac or Twinkie in the role, he just wanted Americans to know what they’re eating.
“We need to send the NIH and FDA to conduct research to understand the relationship between these various food additives and chronic disease, and make sure that Americans understand and are aware of that,” he said at the time. “But I don’t want to take away food from anyone. If you’d like…my boss can buy me his favorite McDonald’s cheeseburger and Diet Coke.”
“If you want to eat Hostess Twinkies, you should be able to, but you should be aware of the effects on your family and your health,” he added.
Although Kennedy seems to focus on the nutrition of Americans, other aspects of public health seem to be sidelined.
As of March 2026, measles has been reported in 31 states across the country, including a large outbreak in South Carolina, with more than 1,000 cases reported, mostly among unvaccinated children. This is the largest outbreak since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared measles eradicated more than 25 years ago.
As fewer children receive vaccines, Trump administration officials, including vaccine skeptic Kennedy, are sowing doubts and questioning the safety of established vaccines.
Despite skepticism, President Kennedy has supported vaccinating children with the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, even though he has previously made “misleading” claims about the vaccine’s effectiveness, according to the nonprofit FactCheck.org.
President Kennedy also said last April that he would test unproven treatments for measles, such as cod liver oil.
“Adequate nutrition remains the best defense against most chronic diseases and infections,” he said.
President Kennedy praised the work of a doctor known for debating the dangers of vaccines. In May, he even claimed that the vaccine was made from “fragments of aborted fetuses.”
According to a KFF Health poll, inaccurate and misleading statements about vaccines, including false links to autism, were prevalent last August at the height of the deadly measles outbreak.
