Comedian Tim Dillon, a friend and supporter of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is all for Kennedy\u2019s attempts to get Americans to eat healthier through his “Make America Healthy Again<\/a>” agenda.<\/p>\n

In fact, he\u2019d love to see Kennedy close fast-food restaurants<\/a> with armed soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he should go into fast-food restaurants with the military and shut them down. I think he should take people off the line at Chick-fil-A at gunpoint,\u201d Dillon joked with \u201cOn Balance\u201d host Leland Vittert on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were going to go to Taco Bell but I knew that RFK would be there with the military, I might think twice about it,” he added.<\/p>\n

Kidding aside, the comedian said Kennedy faces an uphill battle<\/a> while challenging what Dillon calls the \u201cjunk food industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are mega-, multi-national conglomerates with a lot of money who are very well-funded, and he\u2019s got his work cut out for him. It\u2019s going to be very hard,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n

Kevin Spacey promotes Dillon special<\/h2>\n

The podcast host of \u201cThe Tim Dillon Show\u201d has a new Netflix special, \u201cI\u2019m Your Mother,\u201d<\/a> which is now streaming. To help promote the program, actor Kevin Spacey appears in a short ad reprising his \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d role as political powerbroker Frank Underwood.<\/p>\n

Spacey, who also endorsed Kennedy<\/a> in the last election, was effectively exiled from the entertainment industry nearly a decade ago amid allegations of sexual misconduct<\/a>. He was acquitted of criminal charges but still faces a civil lawsuit overseas. The actor has denied wrongdoing<\/a> and reportedly is attempting a comeback.<\/p>\n

Dillon said he hopes the actor\u2019s reappearance is a sign the pendulum has swung away from \u201ccancel culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are just tired of banishing people,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are imperfect, they\u2019re flawed. They make mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
