Jimmy Kimmel joked Thursday about why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tenure as Health and Human Services secretary may be short-lived.
Kimmel mockingly introduced Kennedy, who has pushed debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines, as the “Secretary of Health and Human Sacrifice” before turning to a new report from his department that warns, among other things, about the health risks of ultra-processed foods.
The report “on chronic disease warns about the toxins found in ultra-processed foods like fried chicken, fast food burgers and fries, pepperoni pizza, soft drinks, ice cream bars, and so on,” Kimmel said, as a montage of images showing Trump consuming each of those items appeared on the screen.
“Trump sat right next to him listening to all of this” during a White House briefing, Kimmel noted.
“Listen, Trump’s favorite food is toxins. His blood type is honey mustard,” he cracked. “I’m glad RFK is working on this. But none of it is going to….”
Then he predicted:
“When Trump finally figures out he’s trying to take away his Doritos, mark my words — Bobby is out and Diddy is in.”
