Fox News host compares RFK Jr’s roadkill obsession to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer
Fox News anchor Griff Jenkins has wildly compared Robert F Kennedy Jr’s seeming obsession with roadkill to notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
Jenkins cracked the joke on Sunday on Fox News’ MediaBuzz while discussing the former presidential candidate’s “bizarre” interest in collecting dead animals, after he admitted dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park and his daughter Kathleen Alexandra “Kick” Kennedy revealed he once beheaded a dead whale and tied it to the roof of the family’s car.
“Kick Kennedy says that this was just normal stuff,” Jenkins said, referring to RFK Jr's daughter.
“This is not normal!” he exclaimed to host Howard Kurtz. “You know who else collected roadkill? Jeffrey Dahmer!
“This is really bizarre stuff.”
He added: “And this tale is not one of Clark Griswold and the family vacation truckster – this is really bizarre stuff!” – a reference to the comedy movie National Lampoon’s Vacation.
The two men were discussing a 2012 interview Kick Kennedy gave toTown and Country, where she claimed her father once beheaded a dead whale with a chainsaw and tied its head to the roof of the family’s minivan, before they set off on a five-hour drive.
“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,” she recalled in the interview.
“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.”
Kick explained that her father had apparently heard a dead whale had washed up on the beach at Hyannis Port, southeast of Boston, and was keen to rush to collect the gruesome bounty.
