Television host Jenny McCarthy revealed there’s secretly “more conservatives than you would know” supporting Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement in Hollywood.
The “Masked Singer” judge was asked on Alex Clark’s podcast last week what the sentiment is in Hollywood regarding Kennedy’s health initiative, which McCarthy has previously endorsed.
Despite Hollywood celebrities often attacking members of the Trump administration, McCarthy said many are “secretly very supportive” of the HHS secretary’s initiative.

Elsewhere in the interview, McCarthy described how Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination brought her closer to God.
