A bizarre video of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior wrangling wild snakes bare-handed in Florida has gone viral. Kennedy posted a clip showing himself capturing a pair of thrashing black racer snakes on the Palm Beach patio of Doctor Mehmet Oz.
As his wife Cheryl Hines repeatedly begged him to put them down, one of the reptiles bit Kennedy's hand.
Wildlife experts note the native snakes are completely non-venomous.
Earlier this month, Kennedy posted a photo of himself grabbing a bird which he said he "rescued" at Washington Dulles Airport.
