RFK Jr. Hit With Embarrassing Interruption During Autism Speech

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suffered an awkward moment during a press conference on Friday when an unlikely interloper interrupted his discussion of autism: a duck quacking from his pocket.

Kennedy was in Rochester, Minnesota, to announce a new federal partnership aimed at protecting autistic people who go missing, but his remarks were briefly derailed by the fowl-themed ringtone emanating from his pocket.
