    “I didn’t eat that dog and assault that nanny, but if I did the brain worms made me do it - I’m not a church boy!”

    This was the full quote for those of you who didn’t read the article.

    It seems like there is a maximum level of failsons an empire can accumulate before it collapses.

    RFK Jr is a third wave failson. Trump is a second wave failson.

    I know it’s RFK and he’s a bit of a wacko. But, you gotta wonder how far are magazines going to go to bait people into reading their articles to get clicks and advertisement money. RFK seems a bit of an easy target for that.

    The sexual assault allegations don’t surprise me, but the dog eating part?

    I think some of these statements have to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Yep…. This is where we are now. Presidential candidates that have to clear themselves of having been accused of eating dogs.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has denied allegations made in a new Vanity Fair report that he had previously eaten a dog while sidestepping accusations of sexual assault levied by a former nanny in the magazine, saying, “I’m not a church boy.”

    In an interview with the “Breaking Points” political podcast released Tuesday, Kennedy called the Vanity Fair article “a lot of garbage” but acknowledged that his past included “many skeletons in my closet.”

    The article alleges that Kennedy texted a message to a friend last year that included a photograph that showed him pantomiming eating a cooked animal carcass.

    I said in my announcement speech that I have … so many skeletons in my closet, that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world,” Kennedy said, adding, “Vanity Fair is recycling 30-year-old stories, and I, you know, am not gonna comment on the details of any of them.”

    I’ll keep talking about the fact that working families can’t afford houses or groceries because our last two presidents went on a $14 trillion debt joyride, paid for by hard-working Americans.”

    The accusations made in the Vanity Fair article come at a trying time for Kennedy’s campaign as he seeks to expand his support across the country for his independent presidential bid.
