As RedState reported earlier, there was a scary medical incident at the White House on Thursday amid an announcement involving two big pharmaceutical companies and a deal struck that would make drugs that have been known to aid in weight loss more affordable.
An unidentified man, who Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks later revealed was a guest of the company at the event, collapsed as Ricks was speaking in the Oval Office. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz was also in attendance and stepped in to assist the gentleman, along with several other White House staffers.

As indicated by the clip, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could be seen quickly observing what was going on before exiting the room, with another person following close behind.
Now, any normal person would look at that scene and probably think, “I’m sure he went to get additional medical assistance.” But that is, of course, not how some of the hacks in the MSM and on the left took it.
Take, for instance, Fox 7 Austin (Texas) anchor Alec Nolan, who wrote that RFK Jr. “booked it” out of the room without speculating that it might have been to get some extra help:

Notorious pseudo “journalist” Aaron Rupar, who has over a million X followers, poured on the sensationalism and falsehoods, claiming that “RFK Jr’s response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul a** out of the room as quickly as possible”:

Far left influencer Ed Krassenstein, who also has over a million followers on X, also got in on the action, as did other leftist “thought leaders” with similar follower counts:

What all of these people conveniently left out, of course, is that RFK Jr. indeed left the room quickly – to get more medical assistance, something confirmed by White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai:

According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the man who collapsed is – fortunately – “okay.” The same cannot be said for the absolute frauds in the MSM and among the Very Online Left influencer crowd, who once again reminded us why trust in the media is at an all-time low and why anything a social media influencer tweets out should be researched and verified before being trusted.
