RFK Jr told struggling Americans they should buy liver and cheaper cuts instead of steak – 20 reactions relishing the offal-y ‘socialist’ irony of it all

RFK Jr isn’t just a man who works out in his jeans and who doesn’t understand how a baby gestates.

He’s also a food budgeting expert.

Take this clip that has gone viral this weekend where Kennedy advises Americans struggling with their food bills how to improvise.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:

Yep, you heard that right. The US Health and Human Services Secretary told steak-loving Americans they should settle for liver and cheap offcuts instead.

Of course, RFK Jr. didn’t settle for liver when he had a birthday steak back in January.

I want to thank my team @HHSgov for their tremendous work and dedication. They are the best gift I could ask for on my birthday. https://t.co/IwUn5qExGd

And as more than one person has pointed out, this is just the kind of “socialist” outcome MAGA claimed it could prevent.

RFK Jr. says you can more easily afford groceries if you start eating liver instead of beef. If grocery prices are cheaper like Trump says, then why is his administration constantly telling you cut corners or go without? pic.twitter.com/evfKVQvlWE

We could afford beef when Biden was president.
Now RFK Jr. says, “Just eat liver, peasants”

Are we great yet?

For the masses: liver and cheap cuts.

For the rich: steak and zero consequences.

For RFK Jr.: bear carcass and toilet seat cocaine.

It’s not a fair world. https://t.co/I4qOl5jftD

RFK Jr. went from telling everyone to fry everything in beef tallow and eat premium steaks to shrugging and suggesting people try buying liver and scraps. This is why out-of-touch wealthy “elites” who don’t understand how the average person actually lives shouldn’t be in charge

Dear @WhiteHouse: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND @RobertKennedyJr TO EVERY SWING HOUSE DISTRICT WHERE HE CAN TELL AMERICANS TO EAT LIVER OR CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT TO COPE WITH SURGING INFLATION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. https://t.co/cemDUB9ajI

I have NEVER seen so many millionaires speak so boldly about what regular ppl can do to save money.
IN WHAT UNIVERSE does a man born with a diamond-encrusted spoon in his mouth feel comfortable telling YOU that food would be PLENTY affordable if you would just eat fucking OFFAL. https://t.co/B4tT97yLHH

Telling people to stop buying things that they like because they no longer can afford them is a sign of losing not winning…. https://t.co/RtxN55Uwqj

The same admin touting an era of unparalleled prosperity will tell you to simply buy cheaper shit if you can’t afford groceries. There’s way too much winning to enjoy a porterhouse.
