RJK Jr. has made headlines for many gross and disturbing things, so the U.S. health secretary's recent decision to take his grandkids swimming in a sewage-infested creek didn't come as a major shock to The Daily Show.
"At this point it's like RFK Jr. is going out of his way to be gross," says host Jordan Klepper in the clip above. "Does he just go on Google Maps and search 'Disgusting things near me'?"
RFK Jr. posted the pictures himself on X, describing a Mother's Day hike that included a swim in Rock Creek — a place where swimming and wading are not allowed due to high bacteria levels, per the National Park Service website.
"These pictures are so wild, the fact that he went swimming in jeans is the most normal part of this story," says Klepper.
