During a televised press conference in the Oval Office today, an elderly pharmaceutical executive fainted live on air. While Dr. Oz jumped in to help the man, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., made a run for it.

The White House hasn’t released the identity of the man who collapsed, though Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the gentleman in question was “okay.”

The conference, meant to announce a reduction in price for two weight-loss drugs, resumed about an hour later, minus the executive who had fainted.

RFK Jr. saw his opportunity and took it, that is, his opportunity to get the heck out of there.
