No coincidence, but a bizarre prank by Robert F. Kennedy: Ten years ago, a dead bear cub was found next to an old bicycle. The strange reasons.
Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has caused a stir with an unusual revelation. In a video published on Monday on the X platform, Kennedy confessed to having placed a dead bear in New York’s Central Park about ten years ago. According to his account, he initially took the bear with him after it had been run over by a delivery truck in order to dispose of it.
Revelation about planned newspaper article about Robert F. Kennedy
However, after a dinner in New York, he left the carcass in the park and used an old bicycle to stage the scene as if the animal had been hit by a car. Kennedy indicated that he wanted to use this revelation to pre-empt a planned publication in the New Yorker magazine.
According to Kennedy, it is supposed to be a negative article, and he wanted to tell the story from his perspective before it was published. Neither his campaign nor the New Yorker have yet responded to a request for comment from Reuters.
The incident is now attracting attention again after a dead bear cub was actually found in Central Park in 2014. The presidential candidate comes from the American political dynasty of the same name and is the nephew of former US President John F. Kennedy.

According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, he is favored by eight percent of voters and is considered to have no chance. However, since every vote may count in the November election, his participation could be a problem for the Republican and Democratic candidates, even if Kennedy would only lure away a few voters from them.
