You know the weird shit about this headline? If it hadn't been from The Onion, this could have been a real statement from RFK Jr.

As I was scrolling the post up and read the headline, I was completely ready to believe it actually happened until I scrolled enough to see the link to the onion.

Indeed. It would be 100% fitting to this guys other ... blurbs.

Years ago, I would have immediately recognised this as an Onion article. Today, I have to admit that I didn't recognise it before clicking on the link and seeing the page.

Recently there's been multiple onion articles that made my heart drop in the moments before realizing it was the onion.
