Former presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr decries ‘weaponization of our government’ over 1994 incident
Robert F Kennedy Jr has said that he is being investigated by federal authorities for collecting the head from a decapitated whale carcass.
During a campaign event on Saturday for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, in Glendale, Arizona, the former independent presidential candidate said: “I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago.”
…
Reports of the decapitation caught the attention of the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, which called on federal authorities to investigate Kennedy. In a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), the environmental group said Kennedy “violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and possibly the Endangered Species Act, by illegally cutting the head off of a dead whale in or around 1994 in Hyannis Point, Massachusetts, and bringing it to his New York house”.
Good. I’m tired of “when you’re rich, they let you do it.”
Weird as fuck asshole not only drove over to an island to cut off a dead whale’s head because he supposedly likes to study animal skulls (he’s a lawyer, not a scientist, so what is he studying?), he brought his kids along for the ride for no apparent reason.
Obviously the worm ate too much. His kids were probably just anxiously playing along not to piss him off. Who knows what kind of mental and physical abuse that fucker is capable of
That was pre worm, I believe.
His daughter was unfazed by her account, this kind of unhinged shit was a common occurrence for them. I bet there is a lot of other weird stories like that.
