Today, in a damaging new profile from The New Yorker, RFK Jr. is once again revealed to be a troubled, reckless, and dangerous man who is more than comfortable being a spoiler for Donald Trump. 

In a new quote, his campaign manager, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, told The New Yorker that the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services “is an incredibly interesting one” for RFK Jr. and that he is not opposed to serving in a Trump administration.

The New Yorker also reveals that in fall 2014, RFK Jr. found the carcass of a bear cub on the side of the road, loaded it into the rear hatch of his car, showed it off to his friends, and— as he admitted in a bizarre video with Roseanne Barr— had dinner at Peter Luger Steak House with the bear’s body in his trunk. After dinner, RFK Jr. thought it would be “funny” to stage the bear cub in Central Park to appear as if it had been killed by a cyclist. The bear was discovered the next day, which triggered an investigation by city and state officials. 

In response, DNC Spokesperson Matt Corridoni released the following statement: 

“The RFK Jr. running for president is the same RFK Jr. portrayed in this story: a deeply troubled, reckless, and dangerous man. He doesn’t think the rules apply to him and he refuses to consider the consequences of his actions. That is why he is willing to play the role of spoiler for Donald Trump in this election and why he has floated endorsing Trump in exchange for a job in a Trump administration. RFK Jr. has always put RFK Jr. first and he has no regard for the disastrous impact his actions would have on the American people.” 

ICYMI: The New Yorker: What Does Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Actually Want?

By: Clare Malone 

• At the [Republican National Convention], [Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, the campaign manager,] said, Trump alluded to the possibility of Kennedy ending his run. “They said, ‘You know, we know that you take more from us than you take from Biden,’ ” she recalled. Trump and his team, she went on, had asked Kennedy, “ ‘Is there something that you would want to do?’ ” Kennedy is not opposed to serving in a Trump Administration. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Fox Kennedy said, “is an incredibly interesting one.”
•  In 2016, [RFK Jr.] published a book about the conviction of his cousin Michael Skakel, in 2002, for the 1975 murder of fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley, in Greenwich, Connecticut. […]  Kennedy’s version of events was widely seen as outlandish. His book raised the possibility that the crime had been committed by two young men of color from New York City—“unusually big, muscular, and tall”—who were friends with a classmate of Skakel’s and who, the classmate claimed, had been in Greenwich that night. The Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice released a statement calling the book “inflammatory,” noting it provided “no valid or new information.”
• At Riverkeeper, Kennedy’s relationship with Robert Boyle became increasingly tense. “In the beginning, Kennedy was all right,” Boyle later told New York magazine. “But then he started throwing his weight around.” In 2000, Boyle became apoplectic when he discovered that Kennedy had hired a staff scientist who’d been arrested for running a rare-bird-smuggling ring. 
• In April, a number of his former colleagues at the N.R.D.C., including Adams and Barratt-Brown, signed an open letter calling on him to drop out of the Presidential race: “In nothing more than a vanity candidacy, RFK Jr. has chosen to play the role of election spoiler to the benefit of Donald Trump—the single worst environmental president our country has ever had.” 
• At some point, [Mary Richardson Kennedy] became aware of a diary, from 2001, in which Kennedy had logged his sexual conquests. The New York Post later obtained and reviewed the contents of the diary, reporting that it included dozens of women, with numbers next to their names to indicate sexual acts; ten meant intercourse. According to the Post, Kennedy seemed to have recorded the encounters as a way of policing himself. In one entry, he recalls being propositioned to have sex with two women: “It was tempting but I prayed and God gave me the strength to say no.” In another, he reminded himself to “avoid the company of women. You have not the strength to resist their charms.” He admonished himself to “be humble like a monk. Keep your hands to yourself. Avert your eyes.”
• One day, in the fall of 2014, Kennedy was driving to a falconry outing in upstate New York when he passed a furry brown mound on the side of the road. He pulled over and discovered that it was the carcass of a black-bear cub. Kennedy was tickled by the find. He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of his car and later showed it off to his friends. In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his fingers inside the bear’s bloody mouth, a comical grimace across his face. (When I asked Kennedy about the incident, he said, “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm.”)
• He drove to Manhattan and, as darkness fell, entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. A person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought it would be funny to make it look as if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist. The next day, the bear was discovered by two women walking their dogs, setting off an investigation by the N.Y.P.D. “This is a highly unusual situation,” a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy told the Times. “It’s awful.” In a follow-up piece for the Times, which was coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, one of J.F.K.’s granddaughters, a retired Bronx homicide commander commented, “People are crazy.”
• Some of his former close friends have grown alarmed at the changes they’ve seen in him more recently. […] On a podcast last year, Kennedy said that he was taking testosterone-replacement therapy under the guidance of a doctor. One of the side effects of that treatment is increased muscle mass. But the longtime friend told me, “It’s almost like he’s been body-snatched. I look at pictures of him, and he’s unrecognizable. His sense of humor is all but gone. There’s this anger.”
