Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday denied allegations in a new Vanity Fair report that he ate a dog but sidestepped sexual assault claims from a former babysitter.
Last year, RFK Jr. sent his friend a photograph from 2010 where he posed beside an unidentified woman and the remains of what appears to be a barbecued dog, according to the report. In a culturally insensitive text, Kennedy told his friend, who was traveling to Asia, that he might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that includes dog on the menu — suggesting that the environmental lawyer tried some himself.
