RFK Jr. Pops A Zyn During His Confirmation Hearing For Secretary Of Health And Human Services

Looks like he’s a lower decky kinda guy.

For something as important as a Senate confirmation hearing, some people may bring water, some bring notes, and some may show up empty handed just so they don’t have any distraction.

But it looks like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brought his pouches. A moment so perfectly ironic (or iconic?) during his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

You can’t make this stuff up.

In November, President Trump made his selection of RFK Jr. to be his next Health Secretary. It was somewhat of a surprising pick after Kennedy himself was in the presidential race last year, as a third party candidate, focused on food, environmental, and health guidelines. He later pulled out of the race, and on that same day he endorsed Donald Trump, and they have been an iconic alliance ever since.

The son of former United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy has been one of Trump’s more controversial picks, with some on the right expressing concern over his previous comments on vaccines and abortion…as well as his admission that he used to be a heroin addict.

But RFK Jr. had the chance today to plead his case to the Senate.

Today during his hearing to decide if he is the guy for the job, Senators were going on about his views on vaccines, public health, all that good stuff. You can watch the clips if you want, but that’s not what we’re here to talk about.

During questioning from Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington, viewers noticed that RFK Jr. seems to have casually reached over to grab something and smoothly and quickly tucked it under his lip, nodding along like he is locked in to the conversation in the courtroom.

And anybody who’s popped a Zyn in the past instantly recognized what he was doing. Pretty smooth with it.

How about that for some serious multitasking…seems like a guy who knows exactly what he’s doing. Pro move, Kennedy.

Someone even snapped evidence of the actual can in action today. (Sorry Tucker, confirmed Zyns, not Alps)

He was even spotted a few months ago holding a can in the wild, so this is not the first occurrence. I think it just confirms that this isn’t exactly a one time thing.

And honestly can you blame the guy? The confirmation hearing was an all day affair and I understand the need for a little extra focus boost to make it through the fuss. He just had to take the edge off. And the fact that he definitely knew that it was being livestreamed and televised everywhere and he didn’t even care. You almost have to respect it.

Safe to say, the people sure are respecting it, reminded that he is the best man for the job. The internet’s reaction says it all:

At this point, the right has become a walking advertisement for Zyn, and maybe it’s time for them to give credit where credit’s due. They’ve got some serious representation in high places. Imagine that brand deal…RFK Jr, Trump, and Zyn. Shooting for the stars I know, but they should at least send him a gold can or something.

So are RFK Jr.’s actions hypocritical? Or is he the kind of guy who genuinely doesn’t care what anyone thinks?

Well earlier this month, the FDA announced (during the Biden administration) that after an extensive study, they had authorized Zyn for sale and marketing in the United States, so it seems like the future head of HHS is simply following the agency’s guidance, right?

Love him or hate him, you gotta agree that this moment is the epitome of the 2025 political chaos. And I am so here for it. I think it for sure makes him more relateable, and it’s hilarious that a singular Zyn is something that is uniting the country a little bit more right now. But hey, we’ll take what we can get.

If anything, this could just be your reason to pop one in right now, because if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is Zynning, then that must mean it’s totally safe and healthy… right?

Congrats to you Kennedy. Officially one of the boys.
