Everything I’ve learned this summer about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the wealthy nepo baby/anti-vaxxer whom Republicans installed into the presidential election as an “Independent” (a spoiler to peel off votes from Dems), has been against my will. In summary, the man:
admitted to having dead brain worms
ate a dog and posed with its carcass
denied eating said dog but refused to deny sexually assaulting his former nanny
suggested COVID was “ethnically targeted” to spare Jewish and Chinese people
said Anne Frank had it better than anti-vaxxers did during Covid because at least she could “hide in an attic”
was known in the 70s to regularly inject himself with speedballs of heroin + cocaine, which explains a lot about his personality
terrifies his own family to the extent that they’re actively mocking and campaigning against him
Now, to all this, we can add a horrifyingly weird anecdote involving falconry, a bloody bear cub, Roseanne Barr, and RFK’s fingers. This all started Sunday night when our boy posted a video of himself telling Barr the story of that time he found a dead baby bear on the side of the road—apparently it had been hit by a car—and decided to scoop up the carcass and bring it home with him to eat. After leaving the cub in his trunk for many hours while he went falconing and then realizing he had to go to the airport (??), he decided to dump it in Central Park next to an old bicycle he also had in his trunk to try and make it look like a cyclist killed it. He noted that his “fingerprints were all over” the bike and that he’s lucky the story died before anyone properly investigated what happened.
