Robert F. Kennedy Jr. performed 20 overhand pull-ups at Reagan National Airport during an event promoting a new federal initiative to make U.S. airports more family- and health-friendly.
The 71 year-old put on this show as he touted the $1 billion MAHA program, which proposes adding mini-gyms, healthier food options, kids’ play areas, and better accommodations for families! 💪
Kennedy went viral, drawing widespread admiration — and some skepticism — as people reacted to a cabinet official doing pull-ups in an airport terminal.
Supporters viewed it as a compelling way to promote fitness and lead by example, while critics saw it as more of a publicity stunt. The moment generated major online buzz and brought attention to the broader airport-improvement initiative.
