In a truly pathetic attempt to reach out to the coveted Gen Z demographic, Robert D. Kennedy Jr. and social media celebrity Amber Rose have teamed up to make what will surely go down as MAGA’s cringiest video outreach ever.
One X user reposting the clip simply typed, “No.”

The two men respond by gyrating awkwardly, “getting down” to a scratchy beat — Baauer’s 2012 song “Harlem Shake” — for what seems like days. The Harlem Shake became a brief viral video trend in 2013.
Rose finally throws up her hands and explains, “Not that kind of shake! A healthy shake!”
The anti-vax nephew of President John F. Kennedy and his dancing partner reply, “Ohhh!” and the camera pans to a blender Rose has stuffed with vegetables — with their labels still inexplicably attached.
Rose then fondles a cucumber and adds it to the mix as laughter fills the room and a graphic pops up reading, “Make America Healthy Again.”
Oh, no.
RFK Jr, a former environmental lawyer, dropped his own presidential bid in August to join the Trump campaign as a surrogate, with a vague promise from the Republican nominee to get a well-placed job in a hoped-for second Trump administration.
Kennedy has since been mocked for chopping off a whale’s head and transporting the leaking remains on the roof of his car, being photographed posing with a barbequed dog, and dumping the body of a dead bear in New York’s Central Park.
Rose—the feminist founder of “Slut Walk”, an event promoting sex workers’ rights—shocked her fans in May when she endorsed the former president found liable for defamation and sexual abuse against writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump has a litany of other misogynistic actions, including the revelation in 2016 of his infamous “grab ’em by the pussy” admission to Access Hollywood TV host Billy Bush.
Rose, the bisexual former girlfriend of Ye (formerly Kanye West), spoke at the Republican National Convention in July to dismal reviews from the far-right.
Said far-right homophobe Matt Walsh, “The RNC gives a primetime speaking slot to a pro-abortion feminist and self-proclaimed slut with a face tattoo whose only claim to fame is having sex with rappers. Truly an embarrassment. Not a single voter will be mobilized by this person.”
