Typical Kennedy, leaving dead bodies all over the place.

All right, I guess. He heard people calling Republicans weird and was like "Wait, don't forget how weird I am, too!" because he wants to make sure everyone knows he's still a Republican in his heart.

I don't get how, in the span of about a decade, he went from being an intelligent activist to batshit insane.

I thought it was decided that worms ate his brain

He was always weird, it just wasn't public knowledge. The guy liked to spend his free time surrounded by dead animal carcasses as a child, carried a hawk with him constantly, sexually harrased a significant amount of women, and has been a prominent anti-vaxxer for like 20 years.

Apparently, ten years ago, RFK Jr was dumping a dead bear in Central Park.

He's had insane shit with animals his whole life. In his teens he had a hawk that went everywhere with him. Check out the latest Behind the Bastards series on him it's fuckin cray

In the video, Mr. Kennedy appears to be seated in a kitchen as he casually tells the actress Roseanne Barr about the ordeal. He says that he was driving through the Hudson Valley when he saw a woman in a van hit and kill a young bear.

That mention of Roseanne Barr - surprising yet completely not.

We need to get this to the top threads of all time.
