Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be serving as Health and Human Services secretary, but apparently he’s still moonlighting as America’s most unexpected wildlife wrangler.
Kennedy posted a video Tuesday showing himself casually grabbing two black racer snakes from the patio at Dr. Mehmet Oz’s Florida home — while his wife, Cheryl Hines, reacted the way most normal people would.
“You are nuts!” Hines yelled as RFK Jr., dressed like he was five minutes away from a cabinet meeting, calmly scooped up both snakes in about eight seconds.
Things got even more interesting when the snakes started thrashing around and one chomped down on his finger.
“Honey, honey, let it go!” Hines pleaded. “Oh my God! Bobby, Bobby, please!”
RFK Jr.’s response? Barely a reaction.
“Are they biting?” Oz asked.
“Yeah,” Kennedy replied with a laugh.
At this point, the Kennedy family animal stories are becoming their own cinematic universe. There was the dead bear cub incident. There was the whale head strapped to the car roof. Now there are snakes.
The only thing missing from the video was dramatic background music and someone yelling, “Sir, that’s enough wildlife for one lifetime.”
Somewhere in America, every animal just moved RFK Jr. to the top of its watch list.
