A clip of RFK Jr. inside the Oval Office has gone viral. On Thursday, chaos unfolded inside the White House when Donald Trump announced a deal with drugmakers that could effectively lower the costs of weight-loss drugs or GLP-1 medications. Right at that moment, a man collapsed, and when others sprang into action, the Health and Human Services Secretary appeared to be leaving the scene. Now, an insider revealed what exactly went on inside the Oval Office that day, particularly, what RFK Jr. was doing amid all the commotion. The clip, which went viral, showed Kennedy appearing to “flee the scene.” On the other hand, Dr Mehmet Oz came forward, catching the man before he could hit the ground. Others inside the room also hurried to help him, as Dr Oz laid the man down. Another man was heard saying he’d get a chair. Medical emergency, and our top medical official runs for the door.

He responded to a post that called him out, saying, “The Secretary rushed to get medical assistance while others tended to the man, you ghoul.” According to the Oval Office source, the man was “in pretty bad shape,” despite being “conscious.” The insider told PEOPLE that his heart rate “looked normal,” but “his blood pressure was in the tank.” “He tried to sit up for a while, but he was definitely pale, and they laid him down again, and then they took him out on a gurney,” added the insider. 🚨BREAKING: The White House releases a Statement on the man who passed out.

So we had a little bit of an interruption. Sorry for that.”
