'What the [bleep] did I just watch?' RFK Jr. posts workout video with Kid Rock urging Americans to 'get active'

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has posted a workout video with musician Kid Rock, eliciting mixed reactions from social media users.

Kennedy, 72, shared the video Tuesday afternoon with the caption: “I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD.” Kid Rock, known for hit songs such as “All Summer Long” and “Cowboy,” is a long-time supporter of the Trump administration.

The 90-second video starts with Kennedy and Kid Rock posing shirtless, before the words “Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock’s ROCK OUT WORK OUT” flash across the screen.

Then the video cuts to a montage of Kennedy and Kid Rock eating, sitting in a car and holding a U.S. flag before starting their workouts at a gym.

MAGA homoeroticism I guess.

As a gay man, I also found that video to be highly homoerotic. And very very strange. beaglelover Feb 18 #1

No, I don't find either of them hot at all. They give off more of a creep factor. beaglelover Feb 18 #3

it was so cringe. Everyone works out in tight jeans, right? Kid Rock is a parody of himself. Kennedy is just plain strange.

From a mentally unstable cocaine and heroin addict who snorted cocaine off toilet seats, swam in raw sewage and drinks raw milk straight from the carton. WTF is this deranged lunatic doing in any position of power?

Yeah, yeah, yeah it is vaguely homoerotic, especially with the "whole milk" kicker at the end. It is so bizarre.


It is so performative too, just cringeworthy. RFK Jr is a senior citizen. Kid Rock is a mentally challenged adult.

It is called "TRT".

Absolutely. He is full of steroids. Which is fine, I guess, as a matter of personal choice. However I wouldn't consider it healthy. I'd consider it a way to look a certain way if you have enough resources and are willing to take a short cut.

This is hilarious. I'm sure that wasn't what I they were going for. Dr. Fauci didn't do this but he was much better at his job.
