RFK Jr. roasts W. Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s weight
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently made headlines for teasing West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey about his weight during a public event promoting Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. Kennedy, who is the Health and Human Services secretary, jokingly offered to be Morrisey’s personal trainer and suggested public weigh-ins for the governor.
The event, held in Martinsburg, aimed to advocate for a healthier lifestyle by eliminating unhealthy ingredients from the US food supply. Morrisey, whose state leads the nation in obesity, recently signed a bill banning the use of food stamps to purchase soda.
Despite Morrisey’s support for Kennedy’s initiative, he became the target of Kennedy’s jokes throughout the event. Kennedy proposed putting Morrisey on a strict carnivore diet and even suggested monthly public weigh-ins for the governor, much to the amusement of the audience.
In response to the teasing, Morrisey took to X to announce a new initiative encouraging West Virginians to walk at least a mile every day. He acknowledged that he hasn’t always made the best choices in terms of food and exercise but expressed his commitment to improving his health and shedding some pounds.
While some criticized Kennedy for “fat shaming” the governor, Morrisey’s response indicated that he was taking the comments in stride and using them as motivation to make positive changes in his lifestyle. The exchange between Kennedy and Morrisey highlighted the importance of promoting healthier habits and encouraging individuals to prioritize their well-being.
As the conversation around health and wellness continues, initiatives like Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” serve as a reminder of the importance of leading a balanced and active lifestyle. By incorporating simple habits like daily walking and making healthier food choices, individuals can improve their overall well-being and enjoy a higher quality of life.
