In a twist that seems ripped straight from a Saturday Night Live skit, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finds himself embroiled in a strange political debacle involving a dead black bear and, surprisingly, Central Park. Yes, you read that correctly. It has emerged that the Democratic presidential hopeful once took a joyride with a freshly deceased bear, which he then allegedly decided was a good idea to dump in one of America’s most famous parks. Because what’s a little taxidermy humor between friends?
A photograph has surfaced, leaving many folks scratching their heads; it shows Kennedy with the unfortunate creature sprawled in his lap as if they were long-lost buddies. The imagery is nothing short of awkward, portraying him grimacing while pretending the bear is playfully chomping on his hand. It’s a scene that begs the question: Is this the type of leadership America needs? Trusting a man who thinks posing with a bloody bear cub is a fun photo op may not inspire confidence among voters.

The bizarre antics date back nearly a decade when Kennedy reportedly thought it would be hilarious to stage the bear’s demise to resemble an accident caused by a cyclist. His plans included skinning the bear and using its meat, which one can only assume is part of a diet plan no sane person would endorse. This bright idea was evidently shelved after an unexpected meeting, leading to the charming decision to dump the bear in Central Park, conveniently forgetting about some old-fashioned decency.
Entertainment icon Roseanne Barr was one of the first to give Kennedy a platform to confess his bear-related antics and was undoubtedly amused by the sheer ridiculousness of it all. It’s not just social media users taking aim at Kennedy’s quirk; they openly questioned whether running for president is the best use of his time considering the prospects of his current 5.5% polling support. The potential for political damage is palpable, as this unflattering revelation becomes a talking point for everyone from late-night comedians to kitchen table conversations.
Instead of recovering from this laughable incident, Kennedy appears to be digging himself deeper, joking about a supposed “brain worm” that led to his questionable choices. The only real takeaway here is that while some candidates tout their foreign policy experience or economic prowess, Kennedy’s claim to fame may be taking selfies with roadkill. As the race heats up, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the bear in Central Park might be the only contender who could potentially outshine him in credibility.
