Join NowWeekly Spoiler Roundup: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Weird, Struggling Campaign
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz consolidate support, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign continues to flounder as more weird and disqualifying details from his past come to light.
This week, an explosive piece from The New Yorker revealed that, for 10 years, RFK Jr. covered up placing a dead bear cub in Central Park to make it seem as though a cyclist ran over the bear. The incident triggered an investigation by the NYPD at the time. When asked about the bear incident, RFK Jr. said, “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm.” Several city officials are now calling on RFK Jr. to reimburse the city.
No wonder his own supporters are starting to ditch him. Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s campaign manager spilled the beans on his far-fetched, anti-democratic plot to bypass voters and use a contingent election to swing the election to Trump, taking a page from the failed efforts of No Labels earlier this year.
