RFK Jr. Embroiled in New Health and Fitness Controversy

During his Senate confirmation hearings, Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is likely to face questions about his controversial positions on vaccines, abortion, fluoride, raw milk, dead bears and now, perhaps, athleisure. That’s because RFK Jr. has been hitting the gym in unconventional workout attire in recent days, with Samantha Bee and Joanna Coles weighing in on a set of viral photos of his “thick, tight, sweaty workout jeans” on this week’s episode of The Daily Beast Podcast. “I’ll tell you what tickles my fancy… RFK Jr. working out in his jeans,” Bee said. (“Like in a way that makes me throw up,” she then clarified.) Coles noted that RFK Jr. was topless in the humblebrag musclebro photos, following his nearly nude cameo in a video his wife Cheryl Hines shared recently to promote her candle line. “Do you think they work out topless in their jeans together?” Bee asked of the couple. “I hope so,” Coles replied. “He’s certainly doing a lot of topless stuff.”
