Key Points:
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted a video showing himself wrestling with two non-venomous black racer snakes at Mehmet Oz’s Florida mansion, where Oz is now the CMS administrator.
- The video captures Kennedy handling the snakes barehanded, with one snake appearing to bite his hand, while his wife Cheryl Hines urges caution.
- Kennedy has a history of unusual and controversial encounters with animals, including admitting to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park and mutilating a road-kill raccoon.
- Additional bizarre claims about Kennedy include severing a whale’s head with a chainsaw, a worm eating part of his brain, and eating barbecued dog, as detailed in a recent biography.
- The Department of Health and Human Services has not commented on the video, but a source close to Kennedy stated he is "doing just fine."
