WASHINGTON, DC: Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr faced backlash online for chugging a “dangerous” milk drink with a controversial influencer.

The 71-year-old recently met with a group of health influencers while releasing his commission's error-ridden "Make America Healthy Again" report, as per The Daily Beast.

In the 72-page document, RFK Jr claimed that “today’s children are the sickest generation in American history regarding the chronic disease.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr called a 'disgrace' as he drinks raw milk with controversial influencer 

Robert F Kennedy Jr's move of drinking raw milk didn't sit well with many, and a doctor, Noha Aboelata, took to X to write, “You just can't make this stuff up. The head of US Health and Human Services celebrates the release of his fraudulent report with a ‘health influencer’ by consuming a product deemed dangerous by the agencies he oversees. Make it make sense.”



 

One said, “You’re a complete disgrace and a disingenuous salesman.”



 

“You can't even make fun of sh** this stupid anymore,” another wrote.



 

One more said, “Just a PR stunt with your products in the background. Shame on RKJnr for allowing that advertising.”



 

“Total idiots. Raw milk?? Morons,” another tweet read. 



 

An individual claimed, “They are aware of the health risks. That’s why they only had a shot of it. It’s just a publicity stunt.”
