Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos Sunday of him and his family swimming in Rock Creek where swimming is not allowed “due to high bacteria levels.”

Fox News personality Jesse Watters is backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent decision to take a dip in Rock Creek, despite the fact that the creek, running through the heart of Washington, D. C., is a no-go zone for swimming.

RFK Jr. swam in Washington D.C.'s polluted Rock Creek with his grandchildren, drawing backlash for ignoring health warnings. Critics say it undermines public trust; his team claims it was an environmental statement.
