It wasn’t just the dead bear.

Days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to taking a bear carcass from the side of the road and placing it in Central Park as a prank a decade ago, he said that has been picking up roadkill his “whole life” and once had a “freezer full of it” at home.

The comment came as the independent presidential candidate was leaving an upstate New York courtroom Wednesday where he had testified in a lawsuit seeking to exclude him from the state’s ballot in November.

The trial has focused on whether Kennedy improperly listed a residence in the New York City suburb of Katonah as his home address on his nominating petitions, when he has actually been living in the Los Angeles area since 2014.

    He’s been into falconry since he was a young boy to be fair. Everyone should listen to Behind the Bastards new podcast about him. First couple episodes I was like yeah, he’s fucked up from his family, sympathetic, loves hallucinogenic and other drugs, I kinda like this guy.

    Third episode- ehhh I dunno…

    Final episode- holy shit he’s an actual baby murdering psychopath

      That he’s been rich and out of touch since he was young isn’t in any way a counter to him being rich and out of touch now.

      And whatever else he does, he’s a lying anti-vaxxer with enough influence that that’s not just a personal oddity and instead something that gets other people sick and/or killed.

        Yeah he’s terrible. I’m not defending him. Seriously check out that podcast. Before I listened I was like he’s a moron vaccine denying rich old man. Now I actually hate the guy.

        Fuck yeah. I believe the quote was “I have a hawk that’s trained to kill cops” then approaching the officer and whipping out the bird from beneath his cloak.

      To be fair?

      Would your family have been able to afford to be into falconry as a young boy? Mine sure wouldn’t and we weren’t exactly poor.

      This is the epitome of being rich and out of touch.

      Not sure if I’ve listened to Episode 4 yet, but Robert Evans talked about how this guy used to go hang out in a pit full of rotting cow and sheep carcasses and would keep rotting roadkill in his friend’s refrigerators to feed his falcon. He definitely has some weird obsession with rotting corpses.
