Presidential candidate RFK Jr. admits to dumping a bear carcass in Central Park, sparking a social media frenzy and a flurry of jokes. 🐻🇺🇸

In an eyebrow-raising turn of events, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to an unusual piece of his past—dumping a dead bear carcass in New York City's Central Park back in 2014. Kennedy, who posted a video confession on social media, ignited both bewilderment and amusement across the internet. "Yeah, I staged it to look like a bizarre bear-bicycle accident," he stated nonchalantly, prompting an avalanche of memes and jokes.

This revelation came as a surprise to many. Kennedy explained that he was driving to the Hudson Valley when he saw a woman in a van in front of him accidentally hit the bear cub. Rather than letting the cub be disposed of by the authorities, Kennedy, an avid outdoorsman, thought it would be more epic to create a small mystery. "I had a long day planned—some falconry and a steak dinner—but I thought, why not add a little adventure?"

Social media users immediately jumped in with various theories and comments, some suggesting that the stunt was the prelude to a comedy career rather than a presidential bid. Others speculated on the culinary use of bear meat. Regardless of the mixed reactions, the incident has brought a peculiar spotlight on RFK Jr.’s campaign.

Interestingly enough, this is not the only eccentric behavior the Kennedy scion has displayed. Beyond his unexpected bear escapades, RFK Jr. has been noted for his contentious views on various issues, ranging from environmental policies to public health.

Fun Fact #1: The RFK family has a long history of peculiar and larger-than-life antics. From daring rescues to adventurous exploits, it's clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Fun Fact #2: Bears in New York City might be rarer than a politician with a clean slate, but urban wildlife actually includes a number of surprising species, from coyotes in Central Park to raccoons regularly dumpster-diving in Manhattan.
