Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s staff cut off a USA Today interview question about the grossest food he has ever eaten, moments after he admitted eating “stuff I find on the street.”

“…I will literally eat anything… I don’t have a gag reflex,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. “When I travel, I’ll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking.”

“Like, is there stuff that you’ve eaten that people are like, wow. You ate that,” Chambers asked.

“You mean, like, something gross? Or?” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replied.

“Yes. Maybe gross for others. Yeah. Not for you,” Chambers said.

“I’m getting a signal not to answer that question,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, shutting down the line of questioning.

    Riiiiight. The excuse of college kids caught in an embarrassing scenario, that’s totally legit reasoning.

      He was actually older than college age. Like way older. He was like 60. If he was college age, yeah that’s pretty funny but it’s also a problem and don’t do it again, but 60?

      “I wasn’t drinking, I, uh, I was, um…the Designated Driver! Yeah, that’s it! I was the Designated Driver. Not a drop to drink. Not. One. Drop. Yep, that’s it. Designated Driver. That was me.”
