Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was seen fleeing after he noticed a colleague having a medical emergency at the White House.
During a Thursday Oval Office event on lowering drug costs, one of the presenters appeared to faint. As the man fell to the floor, Kennedy quickly turned and walked away. Meanwhile, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz attempted to provide aid.
Kennedy's actions were met with scorn on social media.
"The irony level of a health emergency *during* RFK Jr's press event is going to require some intense scientific instruments to measure," one commenter wrote. "Look at that bronze prune nope the f--- out of there as soon as he saw what was happening."
"Gotta love RFK doing the 'I've got priors' dash out of the room while Trump just stands there like a robot," another person noted. "Incredible omens at the White House today."
"RFK Jr. peacing the f--- out of a medical emergency is the perfect encapsulation of his HHS administration," a comment pointed out.
"Why did RFK run away?? Isn't he supposed to be the health guru?" one person asked.
