RFK Jr. is now a wellness guru for Republicans in Washington [View all]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has turned GOP policy orthodoxy on its head with his attacks on food and pharma.

He’s also turning Republicans into advocates of eating more vegetables, drinking raw milk and eschewing pharmaceuticals. Even in Washington, where Kennedy takes near-daily abuse from Democrats and public health experts for his moves to discourage vaccination, Republicans increasingly see him not just as a new ally in the MAGA political tent, but as a guru to guide their lives toward a healthier future.

From Congress to the Heritage Foundation, Washington’s Republicans are embracing Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement to address chronic disease. The extent of it shows that the alliance President Donald Trump formed with Kennedy to win the 2024 election is having consequences that go way beyond the political.

“We’re more conscious of the food choices we offer at public events,” said Jennifer Galardi, a senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind the Project 2025 agenda for Trump’s second term.

I think Republicans should drink all the raw milk they can. Think Trump shits himself now?
