Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a shocking revelation in a video posted on his official X account. In the video, he confesses to a bizarre incident where he dumped a dead bear carcass into Central Park and placed a bike on top of it as a joke. Kennedy explained that the incident occurred after he went on a falconing trip to Goshen, New York and encountered a woman who hit and killed a bear cub in front of him. He claimed that he took the cub and put it in his car, citing that it was allowed under New York state law.
After a long day of falconing and dinner with friends in New York City, Kennedy found himself in a dilemma with the dead bear in his car. Instead of seeking proper disposal methods, he and his companions decided to place the bear in Central Park with an old bicycle on top of it. This decision was made in poor taste, considering the recent incidents of pedestrians being hit and killed by bicyclists in the park. The authorities, including the NYPD’s Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, were alerted and an investigation was launched.
Despite the shocking nature of his confession, Kennedy appeared nonchalant in the video as he explained the details of the incident. Many online viewers were taken aback by the story and expressed shock and disbelief. Kennedy’s decision to share this story on his own terms, before it was potentially exposed by a publication like The New Yorker, may have been a strategic move to control the narrative. However, the public response to his actions and attitude towards the incident remains to be seen.
The revelation of dumping a bear carcass in a public park raises questions about Kennedy’s judgment and character. His actions, despite being meant as a joke, have sparked controversy and scrutiny. Whether this incident will have a lasting impact on his reputation, especially as an independent candidate for president, is uncertain. Voters may be divided in their responses to this “grizzly” confession, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in public figures.
