The New Yorker set out to write a total, ruinous take-down of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday to force the nephew of Camelot to bow down to commie Kamalot. RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years.
RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker."
Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.

The humor was lost on me. It's so painful to hear him talk- it makes my throat hurt. I have no idea whether he was making up a crazy story or telling what really happened. It would certainly be outside my personal experience and/or ability to imagine: no clue and no laughs.

Sorry, talk about weird, that is a totally weird story. Didn't find much humor in it. I agree with RFK, Jr. on the vaccines but that is about it...he's still pretty far left and has always been a very entitled Kennedy.

Maybe because I read the entire piece before watching the video - but I thought it was hilarious. Even more so because he is using it to troll the ultra snobby New Yorker. RFK tells the story well, despite his vocal infirmity. Sympathies to the mama bear who lost a cub.

Am not knocking RFK,Jr. But I find it hard to believe that a multimillionaire has an appetite for roadkill. Could be he wanted to just come up with a more ridiculous story than the hit piece from the New Yorker.

The missus and I disagree. I see an adult who was unable to plan ahead, who was drinking too much, and who planted a story that wasted a lot of police/community resources. Hardly the credentials for a president…

Me too, #5. His story provided a few laughs --- something we all need at the moment. It's been decades since I read anything in the New Yorker but from what I can remember most of the articles were simply boring. Glad they've been trolled.

Sounds a little far fetched to me, but then again, I don't get out much.
Falconing, finding dead bear cubs, going out for a fancy dinner, and then jetting off somewhere all in one day ... plus dropping off the carcas of the dead bear cub at Central Park.
Cripes. That would be about six months social events for me.
Something tells me it's a fake story. Any reports of dead bear cubs in Central Park back in 2014? I think a dead bear cub in the middle of the country's largest city might be a news item.

That's a great story and makes RFK Jr. someone I'd like to know, politics aside.

Same as #10, I find this story good for a smile. Politically, RFK Jr is far from me, except for a few important things likje Fauci, but if he did what he claims, good for him. A dead bear! LOL Good one, Bobby. I wouldn't ever vote for you, but you've got spirit. I admire that.

if it was RFK Jr vs. Trump that would have been a glowing article just chock full of wonderful Kennedy stories.
The New Yorker is trash with second class writers, no need to call them journalist.

Well, I do have to admit, RFK was funnier then any of the "comics for kamala" were!

Now that Commie-La has chosen Walz and provided the demonicrats with a communist ticket, we should be pushing moderate democrats - I’m talking your neighbors, not the folks in DC - to vote for RFK as an alternative to the insanity of the radical left.

It's NYC...people finding alligators in the sewers, piranhas in the ditches, coyotes in the parks...even a full grown tiger in a rent controlled 5th floor flat in Harlem. At least he gets OUT of the city now and then.Falconry is a very cool and esoteric sport, I have friends that do it. ...and have had them come to my upstate NY farm and bring their birds, particularly when I had guests with younger kids there at the time.
There is a deeper sense of humor in someone who brings roadkill home, planning on serving it for dinner to some hoity toity NYC society folks at a fancy dinner, then tell them what they ate AFTER the dessert is served.
There is a NYC social set icon that bought an old house not far from my place upstate, he holds an annual A List gourmet dinner that is highly sought after invite, hires one of NYC best, most famous chefs to plan and cook it in his penthouse, world class foods, wines, he gets water from my spring to serve at that dinner, from a rusty old claw and ball foot bathtub sitting on the side of a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Someone always comments that "Even this water is superb" he breaks out a photo of where he gets it. I only found out about it because I stopped by his house one day because there was a car in the drive, hadn't seen anyone there in a decade at least, and asked for permission to Grouse hunt his property once a year...during the initial conversation when I told him where our property is he exclaimed "Oh I always wondered who owned that spring!"and told me the story, he also granted us free use of his property whenever we wanted, wrote out a note giving us that right. The next year I coordinated with him which week we would be up there hunting, he drove up just to walk with us a while and watch the dogs work,We had a good week and before we headed home I gave him 4 grouse and half a dozen woodcock to take back to the city for a small, exclusive dinner party. He had asked for some woodcock, undressed if we got enough, as he had a French Chef that would cook them entrails still intact.

I mean, this guy could have waltzed into the White House on the Camelot mythos (/vomit) alone because Americans are insanely stupid when it comes to anything or anyone associated with the Kennedy's.
But he is so bloody WEIRD!! Not just haha funny weird but like certifiable weird, like adjudicably weird, like hide the wife and kids weird, like "what color is the sky on your home world?" weird.
I mean no where on my 2024 election bingo card did I have "Brain Worms" nor "Roadkill Baby Bear in Central Park."

I take a back seat to no one when it comes to off-the-wall humor but this is only mildly amusing, You could even say it’s a bit weird…

This is sophomoric. I'm glad someone liked the joke, or even saw some point to it.

Kennedy should be concerned & wondering if Bragg will prosecute him for his Bear story….
