That Disgusting RFK Jr. Tweet Is Truly Faux

Have you ever seen that tweet from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that seems to indicate a very revolting meal he ready?

“Lentil purée with sausages for dinner tonight,” the tweet that’s gone viral reads.

It’s extremely disgusting, to say the least. And Kennedy, the Secretary of Well being and Human Companies, is understood for consuming gross stuff, together with plenty of roadkill. However this specific tweet is just not actual.

Properly, the picture is actual, and somebody in all probability ate that. However Kennedy by no means despatched it.

The place did this pretend screenshot come from? It seems to originate from an X account known as 679 Fanatic, with the deal with @marionumber4. On Oct. 12, the account seems prefer it was the primary to share the screenshot, with the caption: “Hear up liberal, I’m consuming poop.”

There’s no proof Kennedy shared the picture on X, and the identical picture (and not using a caption that makes it appear like Kennedy posted it) appeared on the Reddit neighborhood r/poopfromabutt. The subreddit shares pictures of meals that appears, fairly actually, like shit.

If the account 679 Fanatic sounds acquainted, that is likely to be as a result of the X person typically shares pretend tweets from right-wing celebrities, together with Candace Owens, Elon Musk, and the mom of one in every of Musk’s youngsters, Ashley St. Clair. A lot of these tweets typically go viral.

For instance, have you ever seen tweets purporting to be from Musk, Grimes, or St. Clair speaking about Elon’s “botched penis”? They in all probability got here from this particular person.

This isn’t the primary time somebody has made pretend tweets from RFK Jr. that go viral. It’s not even the primary time somebody has made a pretend Kennedy tweet about meals that’s circulated broadly. Again in December 2024, after the election, however earlier than President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, there was a tweet that went viral purporting to be from Kennedy.

The tweet confirmed a bowl of meals and browse, “Uncooked meat, uncooked yolks, uncooked cheese, uncooked milk, uncooked Royal jelly and a few uncooked milk.” As Reuters famous on the time, it appeared to have been scraped from some random German account selling uncooked meals. It’s unclear who created that one, although.

Different viral tweets from that point falsely claimed that Kennedy would ban junk meals and soda like Coca-Cola. The well being secretary has certainly labored to vary the elements in junk meals, however he’s principally accomplished the alternative of attempting to ban it, as a substitute pretending like swapping out beef tallow for seed oils in french fries magically turns it into well being meals.

Kennedy is a really bizarre man who has a protracted historical past as an anti-vaccine activist, doesn’t even imagine within the germ idea of illness, and is at the moment dismantling U.S. public well being and security infrastructure. However that one specific tweet that’s at the moment going viral—his shit-food dinner—is completely pretend.
