#RFKJr’s crackpot ideas go well beyond #covid to the #DEBUNKED claim that childhood #vaccines cause autism, that #WiFi causes “#LeakyBrain,” that #chemicals in the water supply might turn children #transgender, that #AIDS might not be caused by #HIV, that #Republicans stole the 2004 election &that #5G networks are used for mass surveillance. And that was BEFORE we learned about his #BrainWorm & the #BearCub.
#Trump this wk said #RFKJr has “got some very good ideas” that “turned out to be right.”

#Law enforcement took the #BearCub to Albany for analysis & determined that it had been hit by a car, likely outside the park. They also confiscated the bicycle to test for fingerprints.

“I was worried because my prints were all over that bike,” #RFKJr says in the video….

But the mystery remained unsolved, & the story eventually faded away. Now, almost 10 yrs later, Kennedy said he was prompted to come clean ahead of an anticipated New Yorker exposé.

“I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking w/me who thought this was a good idea,” #RFKJr said. “So we went & did that & we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.” [the man is completely #insane]

The 6-month-old, 44-pound #BearCub made national news after a dog walker stumbled upon it …in a wide-open part of the park right near the path where thousands of people run & bike each day.

Continued thread

“I had to go to the airport, & the bear was in my car, & I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,” #RFKJr continues.

Then, as he put it, “the little bit of the redneck in me” had an idea.

RFKJr just happened to have an old bike in his car, … & decided to stage the #BearCub in #CentralPark as if it had been hit by a bike.

Continued thread

It shows him sitting at a kitchen table, telling an incredulous-looking Roseanne Barr (yes, the canceled comedian) about how the dead #BearCub ended up in his van upstate &, ultimately, on top of a bicycle beneath a bush in #NYC’s largest urban park.

#RFKJr… says he was driving upstate early one morning to take a group of people falconing… when a driver in front of him fatally hit a bear cub.

#RFKJr#bear#bearcub

Ok, so I didn't see this one coming. Years ago, #RFKjr was on his way to go falconing (story's already insane) when he witnessed a car hit and kill a #bearCub. So, Bobby stops the car and takes the dead bear (lolwut?). He then goes to #CentralPark and stages the dead bear to look like it died in a biking accident (he staged a bicycle, too). This was a big news story, and apparently nobody knew who did it til now. WTF?? You gotta see the video.
