    RFK Jr. admits putting dead bear cub in New York City's Central Park nearly 10 years ago

    "So, I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear, and it was in very good condition, and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator," Kennedy said. "And you can do that in New York state. You can get a bear tag for roadkill bear."

    ...

    "And 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 said. "So, then I thought you know at that time this was the little bit of the redneck me. There'd been a series of bicycle accidents in New York they had just put in the bike lanes and so a couple of people were getting killed and it was every day and people badly injured every day it was in the press."

    Kennedy mentioned that in addition to the dead bear cub, he had "an old bike in my car that somebody asked me to get rid of."

    "I said let's go put the bear in Central Park and we'll make it look like it got hit by a bike," Kennedy recalled.

    Sounds like a Seinfeld episode. Somehow we’ve found a guy almost more weird than Trump and Vance. Almost.

    The story makes ZERO sense, he picks up a dead bear to skin yet forgets that he has dinner plans and is going out of town on the same night..............this dude has ZERO credibility. As CCorn points out, he just happened to have a broken kid's bike in his car. The dude is a loon

    It also sounds like some crazy thing he did when he was young even though the timeframe is in the headline -- dude was around 61 years old.

    Trump should listen to RFK Jr. if he wants to know how to effectively attack Harris.

    RFK Jr. is just as comfortable going at Harris as he is at Biden. He clearly marks his opinion on her, and why her background and policy will fail.

    I do not agree with him on all of his policy opinions, but he does a great job in clearly defining what he believes Harris is politically.

    He doesn't mention that she is a woman, he doesn't comment on her racial identity - he doesn't attack her as a person either - he points out that she is a war hawk, that she is overly concerned with China and not with the USA, that she is a bi-product of big business and that she is very big on incarceration.

    At least he has a focused view of her .

    I believe him, but I have read biographies about him.......

    This is a man that has had pet falcons since he was like 10 years old. He is one of the best falconriests in the world. He even took them with him to high school and college. His dorm room was filled with falcons. He used to go take his falcon hunting at an old cow slaughter yard, where his birds would hunt and eat rats and other wild game. He has admitted to eating some of the rats etc. that his birds catch. He has also eaten dog as well.... he also spent a few years living in the Amazon away from Westerners and has done a number of bizarre things.

    Bear hide is very nice, there are a lot of things you can do with it - and RFK Jr. has a fascination with carrion, so it is believable that he would pick up the bear - and he is a real outdoorsman - so I believe he had a bike as well.

    The fact he has a brain worm isn't shocking either - If I have to guess, he has likely eaten human flesh before.

    Dude has lived through an insane amount of trauma and has never had to be accountable for his actions because of his last name. He lived through his uncle and father being killed, his mom going insane and blaming him and his siblings for RFK dying - he lost Jackie Kennedy as an influence in his life when she abandoned the family - he lived through doing drugs with his brother who died of an over dose - he was in several abusive relationships with women and he was a drug addict, a heroin addict for a decade or more.

    Don't tell them this stuff, they don't deserve. They would rather parrot left leaning media's narrative about him even though he is the most traditional modern Democrat (based on his policies) out there. If he was 20 years younger and didn't have the throat condition it'd be a no brainer in today's time.

    His policy positions on a lot of issues are more inline with traditional democratic positions. The biggest issue he would face is his past, he has a very checkered past that some people would have a hard time over looking.

    I think that Trump should have named him as his VP.

    While there would be discussions of RFK's past - I do believe that he would bring additional voters to Trump.

    I don't think Vance brought anything additional to Trump except someone Trump can eat fried chicken with and watch the NFL with.

    Oh I agree. Vance was an absolutely dumb pick for Trump and doesn't expand his base anywhere. RFK would have. Tulsi would have. Crazy that it's this way though. Would have never thought this 10 years ago

    Trump already has most of the terminally online red pilled community. How would Tulsi expand his base?

    None of that sounds very reassuring or something I would look for as someone who should be president of the US.
