Vances RFK Jr. Weight-Loss Story Takes a

Vice President JD Vance took over the White House Press briefing on Thursday, standing in for the now-departed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The administration goes to be rotating people in the place until President Donald Trump names a formal substitute for her. 

Vance answered questions on a selection of topics, including questions on healthcare and issues from the spouse of a slain airman. 

But one of the funniest moments was when he was requested about his weight loss by Fox’s Peter Doocy. “You’ve lost a ton of weight lately,” Doocy requested. “How much sauerkraut do you eat every day?” That made Vance giggle. 

🔥 LMAO! VP Vance says he is misplaced a TON of weight organically, WITHOUT the “fat shot, because RFK Jr. is running his diet regimen

Vance explained how he thought he was going to give up sugar and social media for Lent. He described how he called Bobby Kennedy (Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.). Kennedy said he had something far better for Vance, and “means more intense.” Vance explained how RFK then had him eating a lot of high-protein stuff and sauerkraut. “Let’s just say if that was Fat Tuesday, Fat Wednesday never got here.” 

“So my advice to you is, if you want to lose weight, call Bobby Kennedy. But if you want to enjoy what you eat, do not call Bobby Kennedy,” he laughed. 

Sounds like perhaps it is a low-carb-like diet, at least in how he is describing it. But yeah, Vance does seem like he misplaced weight, so good for him. 

Secretary Kennedy’s response was humorous. Not only did he reply to Vance with a image exhibiting him being fed sauerkraut, but Kennedy trolled Secretary of State Marco Rubio as properly.

“Join the party,” RFK said. The AI image confirmed him feeding Vance sauerkraut with Rubio trying on in the background, holding up a Pop-Tart. 

It was Rubio who revealed Kennedy’s infatuation with sauerkraut during an interview with Katie Miller on her podcast last month, but Rubio said he just couldn’t get into that type of diet. It was not “sustainable” for him, he said.  He’s so humorous right here; he is all of us.

Rubio said he wasn’t bringing coolers of sauerkraut around with him as Kennedy did, and that that was “ridiculous.” 

Miller requested if he was MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) like Kennedy. He said he supported it, at which level his spouse interrupted and said definitively no, he was not adhering to healthy eating suggestions. She revealed he ate Pop-Tarts. Marco protested that it was one of man’s great “innovations in the history of the world and comes in a beautiful foil package.” His spouse said he eats “all the things he should not be eating. Every single thing.”
