Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently made headlines for crediting heroin with helping him excel in school in a resurfaced clip from the “Shawn Ryan Show.” The 70-year-old politician admitted that he performed poorly in school until he started using narcotics, which helped his restless and turbulent mind focus, leading him to the top of his class. Kennedy also mentioned that his arrest for heroin possession in 1983 was a turning point that led to his eventual sobriety.
Kennedy, who had been running an independent campaign for the White House, dropped out in August and endorsed Trump for reelection. He claimed that Trump promised him control of several health-related agencies in a future administration. Days before being announced as Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health, Kennedy reiterated his desire to remove fluoride from nationwide drinking water, despite the public health benefits it has provided.
Kennedy, a controversial figure known for his anti-vaccine activism, made unverified claims about fluoride being linked to various health problems such as arthritis, bone fractures, and IQ loss. His comments have stirred controversy and raised concerns about his potential role in overseeing public health policies. Kennedy’s controversial statements and past drug use have sparked debate about his suitability for a leadership position in health administration.
