Gavin Newsom has ripped into Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s Make America Healthy Again workout with a savage gibe about the health secretary\u2019s questionable take on hygiene. <\/p>\n

\u201cIs this after toilet seat #2 or #3? \u2744\ufe0f\u201d the California governor\u2019s press team posted to X Tuesday night, sharing a video still of Kennedy and MAGA rock-rap star Kid Rock exercising shirtless together in a sauna. <\/p>\n

Kennedy had posted the clip of himself and the pro-Trump musician working out earlier on Tuesday with the caption: \u201cI\u2019ve teamed up with Kid Rock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Newsom'sNewsom trolled Kennedy with references to the Health and Human Services Secretary’s admissions about his past drug use. X\/Gavin Newsom <\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s reference to toilet seats comes after the health secretary, who\u2019s been candid about his history of drug use in the past, revealed on a podcast last week the grim reason he\u2019s largely unafraid of bacterial and viral infections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not scared of a germ,\u201d Kennedy told MAGA pundit Theo Von. \u201cYou know, I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.\u201d <\/p>\n

His admission prompted a well-known health-care advocacy group to call on him to resign. Protect Our Care released a statement<\/a> saying Kennedy\u2019s toilet seats remark was just the latest evidence of \u201cwhy he is the most dangerous, in over his head, ill-suited person ever to lead such an important federal agency that has life-and-death power.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jonathan Reiner, a doctor who previously served as Vice President Dick Cheney\u2019s cardiologist, also blasted Kennedy\u2019s flippant take on germs, along with other dubious health advice pushed by the health secretary, such as his claim<\/a> that food is safer if it \u201ccomes from the ground\u201d or \u201cfrom the water\u201d as opposed to a package. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no one leading the CDC. We have the worst measles outbreak in 30 years. Americans don\u2019t trust information coming from HHS. 20 million people don\u2019t have health insurance,\u201d Reiner posted on X in response to Kennedy\u2019s bizarre workout video with Kid Rock. <\/p>\n

In the video, and for reasons best known to himself, Kennedy is wearing jeans. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Asked about the weird habit in the past, he\u2019s said he got \u201cused to\u201d wearing jeans during workouts because he used to hike in the mornings before going straight to the gym without changing clothes.<\/p>\n

Physicians generally do not advise exercising in tight clothing, like denim, so as to avoid discomfort and chafing.<\/p>\n

They also do not advise exercising in saunas, as physical exertion in temperatures above 90\u00b0F can cause heat exhaustion, leading to dizziness, confusion, nausea, headache, rapid heartrate, severe dehydration, loss of consciousness, and death.<\/p>\n
