Robert F. Kennedy revealed that he once dumped a Dead Bear in New York’s Central Park

This year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tale of a parasitic worm devouring a portion of his brain creeped out a lot of people. His latest gem is about abandoning a dead bear cub in Central Park, New York.
The disclosure was made by the independent candidate for US president, conspiracy theorist, and anti-vaccine activist on Sunday on social media in a three-minute video. It appears that he was trying to get ahead of a story in the New Yorker magazine that mentions the bizarre story of roadkill and stealth from ten years ago. Kennedy narrates the story in a video filmed during what appears to be a post-meal conversation with folks, including sitcom actress Roseanne Barr:

Kennedy claims that in 2014, as he and his pals were out falconing in New York State, a van ahead of them struck and killed a six-month-old black bear. Eager to salvage the corpse for its meat, the scion of the most powerful political dynasty in America placed it in the rear of his own car. And that’s permissible in the state of New York. “For a roadkill bear, you can get a bear tag,” Kennedy, 70, remarks in a raspy voice.

However, the falconing field trip was delayed, so he was unable to return to his Westchester County home with the remains. Kennedy learned that night at a dinner in the Big Apple that he would have to head straight to the airport for for a flight he was due to take. “The bear was in my car, and I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,” he recounts.

Following some brainstorming, Kennedy and his associates moved the corpse to the famous Central Park and hid it beneath an old bicycle Kennedy had in his vehicle.

People in the video laughed when Kennedy revealed that the intention was to make it appear as though a cyclist had killed the animal. “I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea,” he continues. The late Robert F. Kennedy’s son continues, “Then I thought, you know, at that time this was the little bit of the redneck in me.” When the animal’s remains were eventually discovered, it made national news. “And I was like, ‘Oh my God, what did I do?'” Kennedy continues, “I was worried because my prints were all over that bike.”

He claimed that the tale went unnoticed for ten years, until a New Yorker fact-checker contacted to confirm it for a Kennedy piece. The work has not yet been released. “It’s going to be a terrible story,” Kennedy laughs as he predicts.
