Add another bizarre chapter to the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vs. The Animal Kingdom book. The Health and Human Services secretary showed he is also a full-blown snake handler on Tuesday when he posted a video of himself wrangling two black racers from the patio at Dr. Mehmet Oz’s house — as his wife Cheryl Hines anxiously watched.
