Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made another bizarre confession just days after revealing that he left a dead bear cub in New York’s Central Park in 2014.
On Sunday, Kennedy posted a video of himself telling comedian Roseanne Barr that he put the dead bear in his car, with plans to “put the meat in my refrigerator.”
Kennedy was in court in Albany this week for a trial over whether he falsely claimed to be a resident of New York state, which he used in his nominating petition to get on the presidential ballot.
As Kennedy left court Wednesday, reporters asked him if he had picked up any other roadkill or if the bear was just a one-time sighting.
“I’ve been collecting roadkill all my life,” the presidential candidate said. “I’ve got a freezer full of them.”
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made another bizarre admission while spending time in court this week in Albany as his residency is in dispute.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. greets supporters upon his arrival at the courthouse on Wednesday. As he left the courthouse, he told reporters he had a “freezer” full of roadkill, as reporters continued to question the dead bear cub story.
The comment sparked laughter, according to the Associated Press.
Kennedy’s inclusion in the 2024 presidential cycle has made a hectic campaign season even more hectic.
In May, The New York Times published a story that recounts how Kennedy suffered from brain fog and memory lapses in 2010, problems that doctors eventually attributed to a brain worm.
Kennedy revealed that a 2012 divorce filing contained information claiming the brain worm had diminished her earning capacity.
Kennedy has since turned the brain worm saga into a joke.
It arose when a reporter for The New Yorker He asked Kennedy about depositing the dead bear in Central Park.
“Maybe that’s where my brain worm came from,” the candidate said.
The New Yorker published a photograph of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then 60, and the bear cub he later placed in Central Park in 2014. “Maybe that’s where my brain worm came from,” the candidate joked to a New Yorker reporter.
Vanity Fair published an article claiming that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had sent a photo to a friend of him pretending to devour a roast dog in Korea. Kennedy said it was a goat in Patagonia.
The New Yorker magazine published a profile of Kennedy on Monday, which included a photo of him with his hand in the dead puppy’s mouth.
Kennedy went public with the story of the dead bear cub on Sunday to get ahead of what The New Yorker would say about him.
“I can’t wait to see how you spin this, New Yorker,” he wrote on X, posting the video of his conversation with Barr.
Kennedy responded even more vehemently. When Vanity Fair alleged last month that he had eaten dog in South Korea.
The article contained a photo of Kennedy smiling and holding the charred carcass of a dead animal.
The magazine said a veterinarian identified the animal as a dog because it had a characteristic “floating rib” found in canines.
RFK Jr. posted on X saying that the gray-haired animal was not a dog but a goat and that the photograph was not from Korea but from Patagonia.
“Hey @VanityFair, you know that when your veterinary experts call a goat a dog and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, you’ve joined the ranks of the supermarket tabloids,” Kennedy wrote.
