RFK Jr. Bails on MAHA Event After Being Cornered on ‘Gas Station Heroin’

A “Make America Healthy Again” event ended suddenly on Wednesday after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was pressed about a major donation from the owner of a kratom company against which the Justice Department had dropped a case.

As Kennedy wrapped up a roundtable with Florida Sen. Ashley Moody at an elementary school in Tampa, Florida, Sky News correspondent Martha Kelner questioned the health secretary about what he planned to do about natural-leaf kratom.

“The FDA is looking at that issue right now,” Kennedy said about kratom, a plant with opioid-like effects sold at gas stations across the country for personal consumption.
