RFK Jr.’s Reckless Swim Raises Mental Health Concerns

It seems that Trump didn’t exactly hit the jackpot with his choice for Health and Human Services Secretary. In a rather questionable decision, RFK Jr. decided to take a dip in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek, despite clear guidance from the National Park Service regarding high bacteria levels. 

And to make matters worse, he brought my grandchildren along for the swim! I mean, risking your own health is one thing, but putting kids in harm’s way? That’s a whole new level of recklessness!

In a post on the social platform X, Kennedy shared, “Mother’s Day hike in Dumbarton Oaks Park with Amaryllis, Bobby, Kick, and Jackson, and a swim with my grandchildren, Bobcat and Cassius in Rock Creek.” Accompanying the post were several photos, including one of the 71-year-old Cabinet member, shirtless and blissfully submerged in the murky waters.

Now, let’s not forget what the National Park Service has to say: “Swimming and wading are not allowed due to high bacteria levels.” In fact, swimming has been off-limits in most of D.C.’s waterways since the 1970s, primarily due to contamination from the city’s aging sewer system.

To add a twist to this aquatic adventure, Kennedy has previously revealed in court documents that doctors informed him in 2010 that a parasite had eaten part of his brain, and he also suffered from mercury poisoning—likely from his fishy diet.

So, this is the individual Trump chose to lead the charge in making America healthier? Talk about a questionable decision! It’s safe to say this choice raises more than a few eyebrows.
