Have you all heard about RFK Jr.

For those outside the United States, you probably have not had to suffer through the entertainment that was Robert F Kennedy Junior. You've missed fun and shenanigans.


RFKj is from the long line of Kennedys remembered most fondly by John Kennedy, the president who went by JFK. Robert F Kennedy Senior was John Kennedy's younger brother. In 1968, he was well on his way to being a President until he was killed after a California primary. There was an outpouring of goodwill that even their younger brother, Edward, didn't lose after accidentally killing a girlfriend on a bridge. RFK was handsome, whip-smart, and dedicated to ending the Vietnam War about 5 years before anyone else.

So RFK Junior had a ton of goodwill. He was a lawyer who moved into environmental law and activism before going a little anti-vax autism nuts. But he was easy to ignore.  But during Covid, he was vehemently anti-vax and that brought him love from the MAGA folks.

Earlier this year, he said neither Trump nor Biden represented Americans and that he would run for president. That has since changed; he quit and endorsed Trump, but that isn't the strange part. During his run for the President, we heard some batshit crazy things. Like these:

  • Two of his "just plain folks" stories started with the line, "As I was falconing in upstate New York..." Falconing? Yeah, lots of average Joes do that.
  • Once, driving into New York for a dinner meeting, he found (hit?) a bear cub on the road. He stopped his car and threw it into the trunk, thinking he would skin it and eat it later. Seriously, this was his claim. But then he got to New York, had dinner, and remembered that he had a flight out of JFK airport that evening. It was too late to drive back to Connecticut and put the bear cub on ice, so he left it in Central Park. No, he didn't tell anyone. No, not even when the police asked for help figuring out how the hell a bear cub got into Central Park.
  • We also found out that a few years earlier, he had a brain worm in his (wait for it) brain. They took it out, but it was one of his unrequested stories.
  • And then there was a time a beached whale ended up in Connecticut. So he drove down, took a chainsaw, and cut the whale head off. He tied it to his car and brought it back home for some good eatin'.
  • He agreed to endorse Trump as long as Trump promised to investigate Chemtrails and see how it was making children autistic.
  • He believes that chemicals in water make kids gender confused and gay because it has "endocrine disruptors."

And this is the 2nd saniest guy in a 3 person race.
