RFK Jr. Roasted Over His Bizarre Airport Observation: ‘Remarkable Amount Of Stupidity’

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy on Wednesday declared that he knows “what a healthy child is supposed to look like” before revealing that he finds out just by looking at them.

The 71-year-old Kennedy — who reportedly arrived 30 minutes late to a presser where Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed three bills stemming from the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda — remarked on how no one in his large family had diabetes, food allergies or autism when he grew up.

“I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today, as I walk down the street, I see these kids that are just overburdened by mitochondrial challenges, with inflammation,” said the conspiracy theorist and one of the nation’s biggest vaccine skeptics. “You can tell from their faces, from their body movements and from their lack of social connection.”

Kennedy — after pushing false figures on Texas children with autism and underscoring that there are more children with diabetes and autism than when he was little — proceeded to declare that “we’re doing something to our children that is unprecedented in human history.”

Kennedy shared similar remarks about seeing children with “mitochondrial challenges” at the airport back in April.

Kennedy’s “anecdotal claims” have notably been dismissed by critics as “autism and food allergies were far less frequently diagnosed by medical professionals in decades past,” the San Antonio Current noted.

Critics roasted the unlicensed and uncredentialed Kennedy over his walk-by medical diagnosis method, with one X user giving him credit for “cramming a remarkable amount of stupidity into the fewest amount of words possible.”
