RFK Jr. is a Complete Weirdo

RFK Jr. is the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in charge of a budget of more than $100 billion. But he's so deeply eccentric that you would never hire him for a job.

I’m not scared of a germ [COVID]. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life. I have a freezer full of it.

I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking how weird some of my family members have turned out to be…My kids waited patiently in the car.

As one reporter for a nature magazine noted, Kennedy was more interested in the dead seagulls that they passed on a road...than he was in campaigning..."I'd like to pick up some of these dead seagulls for my skull collection," he said.

The Guardian
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the third-party candidate for US president, said a health problem he experienced in 2010 "was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died."

President Trump understands that we're engaged right now in spiritual warfare and that the malevolent forces want to drive us apart and end our connection to each other.
Caroline Kennedy
His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks.
Caroline Kennedy is RFK Jr.'s cousin.

Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest. Drink from me Love. I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. "Dont spill a drop". I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you.
RFK Jr. sent this "poem" to the woman he was having an affair with.
New York Times
[RFK Jr.] posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek...used to drain excess sewage and storm water during rainfall. The creek has widespread “fecal” contamination and high levels of bacteria, including E. coli, and the city has banned swimming in all of its waterways for more than 50 years.
Town & Country
[W]ord got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. [RFK Jr.]…ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale's head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back [home]…"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," [his daughter] recalls. "We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us."

I was driving up maybe really early like 7 [AM]. And then a woman in front of me hit a bear and killed it…so I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van…and then we had a really good day and we went late…And instead of going back to my home in Westchester, I had to go right to the city because there was a dinner…and at the end of the dinner, it went late, and I realized I couldn’t go home, I had to go to the airport…I said let’s go put the bear in Central Park and we’ll make it look like he got hit by a bike. It’ll be funny for people.
HHS Video

Political obsessive. Guitar noodler. Father to two adorable miscreants. I doom scroll far too much for my own sanity.
