Proposals included a Super Bowl ad and commercials featuring TikTok influencer Alix Earle, but White House officials ultimately told the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to scrap the effort, according to sources who spoke to NOTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, 72\u2014known for his fitness routines and for catching snakes on camera\u2014reportedly wanted to appear in the ads wearing a continuous glucose monitor, a device commonly used by people with diabetes to track blood sugar levels, as the campaign was designed to highlight the link between processed foods and chronic diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign was quietly shelved, with a cancellation notice appearing on a government website on June 8. The notice gave no specific reason for the decision, saying only that \u201csignificant programmatic changes and shifts in agency operational objectives\u201d meant the proposals \u201cno longer accurately reflect the government\u2019s requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources familiar with internal discussions told NOTUS that the campaign\u2019s quiet cancellation was largely driven by fallout from the massive Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advertising contract that ultimately contributed to Noem\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n<p>After taking over as DHS secretary, Noem, 54, became the face of a series of ads filmed across the country and abroad, appearing in various outfits and settings.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3219\">Trump-Backed Discount \u2018Freedom Fuel\u2019 Mystery Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The ads featured footage of DHS immigration operations, migrants crossing the border, drug raids, and Trump raising his fist after the 2024 assassination attempt, while Noem repeatedly praised the president for keeping the country safe. One spot showed Noem on horseback near Mount Rushmore.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign later faced scrutiny over its reported $220 million price tag. Critics questioned the use of taxpayer funds to finance the ads and raised concerns over who approved Noem\u2019s self-promotional campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Noem was fired by Trump shortly after she testified under oath that the president had approved the ads and had even asked her to launch the campaign before she took office. Responding to Republican Sen. John Kennedy, Noem said, \u201cThe president tasked me with getting the message out to the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House has since sought to distance Trump from the campaign, with the president claiming he \u201cnever knew anything about it\u201d and that he had \u201cspent less money than that to become president.\u201d Yet, sources close to the administration told the Daily Beast that Trump \u201cknew about the campaign and wanted it to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DHS ads were the third-most expensive U.S. government marketing campaign of the past decade. <\/p>\n<p>Noem\u2019s missteps reportedly led to the replacement of RFK Jr.\u2019s planned public relations effort with a nationwide \u201cTake Back Your Health\u201d tour. <\/p>\n<p>The initiative began in January in Pennsylvania, where Kennedy promoted the new inverted food pyramid and other health guidelines tied to the \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d movement.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3217\">This Is What Trump\u2019s Crazed Posts Are Really About: Political Guru<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House and HHS for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert F.
