Long subscriber only New Yorker article on RFK.
Bear Story Excerpt Featuring, "Maybe that's where I got my brain worm."
One day, in the fall of 2014, Kennedy was driving to a falconry outing in upstate New York when he passed a furry brown mound on the side of the road. He pulled over and discovered that it was the carcass of a black-bear cub. Kennedy was tickled by the find. He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of his car and later showed it off to his friends. In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his fingers inside the bear’s bloody mouth, a comical grimace across his face. (When I asked Kennedy about the incident, he said, “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm.”)
Kennedy with the carcass of a black-bear cub, in 2014. “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm,” he said.
After the outing, Kennedy, who was then sixty and recently married to Hines, got an idea. He drove to Manhattan and, as darkness fell, entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. A person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought it would be funny to make it look as if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist. The next day, the bear was discovered by two women walking their dogs, setting off an investigation by the N.Y.P.D. “This is a highly unusual situation,” a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy told the Times. “It’s awful.” In a follow-up piece for the Times, which was coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, one of J.F.K.’s granddaughters, a retired Bronx homicide commander commented, “People are crazy.”

Seriously creepy and weird thing to do. No wonder this guy is peeling off Trump voters.
Kristi Noem : - You’re not going to believe what happened to my dog…
RFK Jr : - Hold my Bear…
I mean, to be fair, abandoning a victim at the scene of an accident may be a reflexive hereditary defect he can’t easily overcome.
We’re just going to have to “bear” with him on this. It’s the worm ...

Yep, Dems shouldn't stop at the "weird" label for Trump, should upgrade and constantly call him out for being "creepy weird"

Kennedy Fights to Stay on Ballot, but Everyone’s Talking About the Bear https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/05/...unlocked_article_code=1.A04.y5Q4.6IigAI1gQkNK
Seems Kennedy is trying to stay on the NY ballot by claiming he is a NY resident, and not a CA resident as per his other election filings. But then if he is a NY resident, has he been filing his required NY taxes? It seems like an audit may be in order.

What I like is the guy who doesn't want people to get vaccinated because they're too dangerous apparently has no problem snacking on dead bears he finds on the side of the road.

Dining on roadkill is not something I had on my presidential candidate bingo card.
Popehat had a good point - he should have just brought the bear into Peter Luger and had them cook it. That is unless their corkage fee for bears is really high, which knowing Lugers, it probably is.

Judge rules against RFK Jr. in fight to be on New York’s ballot, says he is not a state resident
A judge has ruled that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed a New York residence on nominating petitions, invalidating the documents he needs to appear on the ballot in the state.

Judge ruled against RFK Jr and his sham address:
Man he actually rented a room. Unlike the senator from Kansas several years ago that claimed a recliner at a friends house as his “residence “.

Rented a room under extremely dubious circumstances. Glad the judge saw through the charade.

But did he originally list his home to be in NYS or was this a recent change? I’m assuming it’s always been
