‘Come and take it’: Massachusetts governor challenges RFK Jr.’s request for Dunkin’, Starbucks ingredients
Gov. Maura Healey is telling Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to “come and take” her Dunkin’ coffees from her in response to Kennedy questioning the safety of the sugary drinks offered by Dunkin’ and Starbucks.
“Come And Take It,” read an image with a star above it posted by Healey to her official X account Wednesday. The post had quoted a Boston Globe article reporting that Kennedy said he may potentially pull certain ingredients, including those found in Dunkin’ products, from the market if they can’t be proven safe.
“You know, I wish he would work to end measles in the country. That’s where I would focus my attention if I were Health and Human Services Secretary. I wouldn’t be taking on Dunkin’,” Healey said when asked by a reporter about her X post during a media scrum, while also holding a Dunkin’ coffee cup in her hand.
Kennedy responded to Healey’s X post with one of his own on Thursday, assuring Healey and Bay State residents that Dunkin’ is not going anywhere.
RFK Jr. posted, “No one is taking away your Dunkin’. But isn’t it reasonable to ask whether a drink loaded with 180 grams of sugar is safe?”
