RFK Jr wildly confesses to dumping dead bear cub in Central Park a decade ago

Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr is once again firefighting a bizarre story from his past after he wildly confessed to dumping a dead bear cub in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago.

Seemingly attempting to get ahead of the publication of a forthcoming article in The New Yorker magazine, RFK Jr posted a video on X recounting the wild tale to former sitcom actress Roseanne Barr.

In the three-minute clip, RFK Jr claims he had set out from the Big Apple in October 2014 to spend a weekend falconing with friends in upstate New York, when he saw a motorist ahead of him hit the bear with her car.

The cub was killed instantly, he says.

RFK Jr says he pulled over and retrieved the dead animal, loading it into his own vehicle, adding: “I was going to skin the bear – and it was in very good condition – and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.

“And you can do that in New York State. Get a bear tag for a roadkill bear.”

He tells Barr that he drove on and continued with his day’s sport near Goshen in the Hudson Valley before attending dinner at Peter Luger Steakhouse some 75 miles south.

“At the end of the dinner, it was late and I realised I couldn’t go home,” he continues.

“I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didn’t want to leave the bear in my car because that would have been bad.”

RFK Jr says it was at this moment that he landed on the wild idea of leaving the bear cub’s carcass in Central Park next to an old bicycle he had in his vehicle, in a ploy to make the cub’s death look like an accident involving a cyclist.

The scheme was cheerily endorsed by his fellow diners, he claims.

“So we did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it or something,”
