Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed in a recent video posted on social media that he transported a dead bear cub carcass to New York's Central Park a decade ago. Kennedy explained that he encountered the deceased bear while traveling through New York's Hudson Valley and decided to place it in his van with the intention of skinning it and storing the meat in his refrigerator.
After a day of hawking, Kennedy drove to New York City for dinner with the bear still in his vehicle. Unable to take the bear back home due to a flight, Kennedy and friends concocted a plan to place the bear in Central Park to make it appear as if it had been hit by a biker. This incident garnered significant media attention and prompted investigations from law enforcement, although Kennedy suggested he was not held accountable at the time.
Kennedy mentioned that the New Yorker had discovered details of the incident and planned to feature it in an upcoming article. He acknowledged that the story might portray him negatively and expressed anticipation for how it would be presented.
Interestingly, some aspects of Kennedy's account align with an October 2014 incident where a dead bear cub was found in Central Park, with reports indicating that the bear was discovered with its head resting on a bike. The woman who found the bear during that incident had shared her experience with the media.
In a caption accompanying the video on Kennedy's social media account, he wrote, 'Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one.' The revelation of this past event adds a unique dimension to Kennedy's presidential campaign and may spark further discussion among voters and the public.
