Michelle Obama's name trended online during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearings. Conservatives supported Kennedy's school nutrition policies, contrasting sharply with their previous opposition to similar initiatives by Obama when she was First Lady. Critics highlighted the hypocrisy of Republican senators who once criticized Obama's efforts for healthier school meals. Online discussions pointed out the irony of their current support for Kennedy's agenda, which echoes Obama's past proposals. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova and others expressed shock at the double standards. They noted that the same individuals who opposed Obama's initiatives are now endorsing Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" campaign.
