“A freezer full of roadkill”: Robert F Kennedy Jr once cut the penis off a dead raccoon
Health and Human Services Secretary for the Trump administration, Robert F Kennedy Jr, once severed the penis off a dead raccoon, according to a new biography.
The tale was shared in RFK Jr: The Fall and Rise, by New York Post journalist Isabel Vincent. In the book, Vincent reveals that Kennedy spotted the animal while driving on the highway with his family.
The unbelievable story was lifted from Kennedy’s diary entries, referenced in the newly published novel.
“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road-killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” Kennedy allegedly wrote in a 2001 entry.
“My kids waited patiently in the car,” the entry added.
Vincent explained to People that the now-politician made off with the raccoon’s organs to “study them later”.
Vincent elaborated, “You have to understand, Bobby wanted to be a veterinarian as a kid. His after-school job was at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, so he’s got a great love and interest in animals and a freezer full of roadkill, I’m sure, where he studies it.”
Kennedy has committed strange acts with animal corpses before. In one instance, he spotted the carcass of a dead bear on the side of the road and loaded it into the trunk of his car. He then snapped a “playful” photo of himself with his hand in the dead bear’s mouth, leading to a parasite that caused him permanent brain damage.
Eventually, he tired of the bear and dumped it in New York City’s Central Park, where he arranged it to look as if the animal had been hit by a bike.
The raccoon tidbit might be the strangest (recorded) thing Kennedy has ever done, but the politician has a habit of hitting the headlines for his strange opinions.
For example, the politician doesn’t believe HIV is the cause of AIDS. He also insisted that Covid-19 was “ethnically targeted” to spare Jewish people and Chinese people.
