Unfortunately, there\u2019s no way for Chris Pratt to know what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is getting up to in the government. Because Kennedy (the cousin of Pratt\u2019s mother-in-law) has jumped \u201con the bandwagon<\/a> with who is the most divisive president ever\u201d\u2014a polite way to describe Donald Trump\u2014it makes sense to the actor that Kennedy is \u201cmade to look terrible,\u201d Pratt says during an appearance on Bill Maher\u2019s Club Random podcast. \u201cAnd so I don\u2019t know what to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

If only there was some way to make an informed judgement about Kennedy\u2019s policies. If other people are making RFK Jr. look terrible, how else is Pratt supposed to determine the truth? He can\u2019t just ask the man himself, despite the fact that he\u2019s \u201cspent a number of occasions hanging with him, just in a strictly family dinner kind of vibe,\u201d Pratt says. \u201cIt\u2019s not like I say to Bobby, \u2018Let\u2019s talk about this\u2019 while we\u2019re playing cards or having fun or having dinner. I\u2019m not going to pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. I just kind of assume that none of them are, and, for the most part, I wish him well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\ufeff<\/p>\n

If Pratt can\u2019t ask Bobby himself, but he also can\u2019t trust anyone else\u2019s word on the subject, then there\u2019s simply no way of knowing what\u2019s going on in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. But please don\u2019t imagine Pratt lives in complete ignorance, because he does have some vague idea of Kennedy\u2019s beliefs. \u201cThere\u2019s certain things [that RFK Jr.] oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way\u2014like getting terrible toxic stuff out of our kids\u2019 food. I think that\u2019s a great thing. If you just do that, that\u2019s amazing,\u201d Pratt says. Unfortunately, Kennedy is not just doing that, but Pratt wouldn\u2019t know about it given he apparently doesn\u2019t believe stuff like news outlets or words directly from Kennedy\u2019s mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I\u2019d be having an allergic reaction to. To be like, \u2018Oh, well, if they do it, I don\u2019t want it to happen. I\u2019ll put Clorox in my children\u2019s cereal myself!\u2019 Be reasonable here,\u201d Pratt complains. (Imagine being scolded on what\u2019s reasonable by a guy who, in his own words, doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about.) The Parks And Rec alum observes that \u201cThere\u2019s certain things that would be a good thing to have,\u201d which is true. It would be good to have mRNA vaccines, which helped end the pandemic, but Kennedy canceled<\/a> $500 million in contracts for vaccine development; it would be good to have a division of the CDC monitoring lead exposure levels among children and managing prevention across the country, but that\u2019s one of the many important programs Kennedy cut<\/a>; it would be good to have no dead bears dumped in Central Park trash cans, but, well, you know how that one ends<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pratt says he \u201cgot along really well\u201d with RFK Jr. during cozy family gatherings. \u201cHe\u2019s funny, he\u2019s wonderful. I love him,\u201d Pratt adds. Of the entire Trump administration, he declared, \u201cI want them all to be successful.\u201d What Trump, RFK Jr., and the whole gang consider \u201csuccessful\u201d might end up being disastrous for the country, but again, there\u2019s no way for Chris Pratt to figure that out.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unfortunately, there\u2019s no way for Chris Pratt to know what Robert F.
