Longshot Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was mocked online shared a video of himself performing push-ups, accompanied by a caption that suggested he was preparing for debates with President Biden.
On Sunday, Kennedy Jr. posted a video with the following caption:
"Getting in shape for my debates with President Biden!"
You can see his video below.
The video was followed by another post featuring Kennedy Jr. lifting weights, showcasing his dedication to physical fitness.
Right-wing influencer Mike Cernovich even vouched for Kennedy Jr.'s loyalty, stating that someone as physically active and healthy as him "would never betray this great country."

Despite RFK Jr.'s calls for a debate with President Biden, it is highly improbable that such an event would occur.
As Biden focuses on securing the Democratic re-nomination for the 2024 presidential election, engaging in a debate with challengers, including Kennedy, seems unlikely, regardless of their physical condition or campaign tactics.
The shirtless and denim-clad display quickly garnered negative attention on social media.
Kennedy Jr.'s video served as a distraction from his openly anti-vaxx views.
In a follow-up post to his video, he wrote he wants to "restore America as the global example of health [and] well-being," adding:
"Not through pills or syringes, but through character and self-discipline."

The suggestion that Biden is both physically and "mentally frail" has become a favorite talking point in conservative circles even though claims about an alleged cognitive impairment are entirely unfounded.
In September 2020, ABC News reported the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) withheld intelligence warning of Russian disinformation attacking Biden to promote "allegations about poor mental health."
The intelligence bulletin, titled "Russia Likely to Denigrate Health of US Candidates to Influence 2020 Election," said American intelligence determined Russian operatives are sowing disinformation to convince the American electorate Biden has dementia and would be unfit to serve in office.
But the fact that the bulletin has discredited allegations about Biden's mental health has not stopped Fox News anchors from claiming that Biden is very much at the mercy of his handlers.
