Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making waves after a photo of what appears to be the charred remains of a dog with him jokingly taking a bite out of the carcass appeared in a story from Vanity Fair and made its rounds on social media.

From the report:

Robert Kennedy Jr. texted a photograph to a friend. In the photo RFK Jr. was posing, alongside an unidentified woman, with the barbecued remains of what appears to be a dog. Kennedy told the person, who was traveling to Asia, that he might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that served dog on the menu, suggesting Kennedy had sampled dog. The photo was taken in 2010, according to the digital file’s metadata—the same year he was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain. (A veterinarian who examined the photograph says the carcass is a canine, pointing to the 13 pairs of ribs, which include the tell-tale “floating rib” found in dogs.)

The picture’s intent seems to have been comedic—Kennedy and his companion are pantomiming—but for the recipient it was disturbing evidence of Kennedy’s poor judgment and thoughtlessness, simultaneously mocking Korean culture, reveling in animal cruelty, and needlessly risking his reputation and that of his family.

The image prompted former Barack Obama staffer, Jon Favreau, to remark on X, “What the f— is wrong with this man”?

The story went on to chronicle how Kennedy allegedly made unwanted advances on the family’s 23-year-old part-time babysitter, Eliza Cooney, back in the late 1990s.

“… Cooney says, she was rifling through the kitchen pantry for lunch after a yoga class, still in her sports bra and leggings, when Kennedy came up behind her, blocked her inside the room, and began groping her, putting his hands on her hips and sliding them up along her rib cage and breasts. ‘My back was to the door of the pantry, and he came up behind me,’ she says, describing the alleged sexual assault. ‘I was frozen. Shocked.’”

Vanity Fair reported Cooney stayed on the job for a few more months but left after saying the experience damaged her confidence and diverted her from environmental work.

“At the end of her diary, Cooney wrote a list of things ‘to leave behind in 1999,’ with ‘bad men’ at the top.

Kennedy is a huge longshot to win Electoral College votes, much less the presidency.

He’s is a member of perhaps the nation’s most famous political dynasty. His uncle was President John F. Kennedy. His father served as attorney general and a U.S. senator before seeking the Democratic nomination for president. Both were assassinated.
