"…I will literally eat anything… I don't have a gag reflex," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. "When I travel, I'll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking."

I don't know what preceed before he admit that he eat streetfood but streetfood is very common thing, like everywhere, he's not wrong here.

RFK Jr is an idiot and a menace. He's a threat to public health and also to his own health. In a sane country he'd be under close observation by a psychiatric specialist. He has actually said enough terrible stuff--in fact, he's actually said before that he picks roadkill up off the street!--that we don't need to twist what he said into something fake.

With that out of the way so that you don't think I'm a MAHA cultist: This headline is misleading. That's not what he's saying here. He's just saying that he eats stuff from food trucks.

Honestly, the implication that he eats trash like a raccoon would be funnier than the banal reality that he's either out of touch at best (because he thinks it's weird to eat street food) or racist at worst (because a huge chunk of street vendors are nonwhite folks serving the food of their ethnicity). Or both, which is probably the real answer here.

Kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪˈstɒkrəsi/ KAK-ih-STOK-rə-see) is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people.

"I don't have a gag reflex."

A little tangential since it's not about RFKJr himself, but Sean O’Mara, the doctor giving dietary advice to the Trump cabinet had this to say, as reported in the NYT:

“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.” ... “I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

Trump and/or his closest allies are taking advice from a doctor who doesn't wipe his ass. And he's proud of it.

Downvoting this. Hate the guy, but this is being misrepresented.

We're not MAGA. We don't do this.

The man has definitely eaten roadkill. It's probably how he got the brain worm.

I love our content administration.

fake bullshit, he's vaxed. he just wants poors to die following his performative charade.
