RFK Jr. Diagnoses Erin Burnett With ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ After Food Price Fact-Check

"She has abandoned both common sense and basic arithmetic," the Health and Human Services secretary says The post RFK Jr. Diagnoses Erin Burnett With ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ After Food Price Fact-Check appeared first on TheWrap .

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused CNN anchor Erin Burnett of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" during a recent fact-checking segment on his show, "The Real Food Show." During the segment, CNN correspondent Tom Foreman visited a grocery store to test the affordability of a salmon-based meal featured on RFK Jr.'s show. Foreman discovered that the ingredients for the meal cost $70.54, which is significantly more than the $20 price point stated in the show's advertisements.

Kennedy criticized Burnett for allegedly abandoning "common sense and basic arithmetic" during the segment, stating that CNN wanted to include the full cost of all ingredients, regardless of their usage in the recipe. Kennedy's tweet argued that the show's recipe costing method was fair, as excess ingredients could be used for future meals, while the restaurant would charge for the entire bottle of ketchup used in a single meal.
