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.

Due to contamination, swimming in Rock Creek, the Potomac River and nearby waters has been banned since 1971, NBC News said. A 2022 report from the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority showed "chronic elevated levels" of E.coli in Rock Creek. Sewage and stormwater has also added dangerous bacteria to the waters.
