    I'm being flip, but it's not a lie. He doesn't know where the brainworm came from, and it was revealed later that he has been eating roadkill meat his whole life.

    Exotic parasites is a known risk when eating roadkill. It's not a difficult connection to make.

      Speaking to reporters in a hallway after court ended Wednesday, Kennedy was asked whether he picked up other roadkill.

      “I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life. I have a freezer full of it,” he said, eliciting laughter.

      Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear later said by text that he wasn’t joking. She said that’s how Kennedy — a falconer who trains ravens — feeds his birds. She added that he no longer has the 21 cubic foot (0.59 cubic meter) refrigerator, which had been in New York’s Westchester County suburbs.

        How's that a lie? It came from his own mouth! It's his PR person who walked it back and cooked up an explanation.

        RFK Jr is not a child. He's in full control of the narrative he wants to portray about himself. If he wants to go say kooky things to reporters, he can't be upset if people think he is a kook. And he clearly seems to personally enjoy the reputation of being a kook, based on willingly he throws out jokes about it.

        I have no problem with him being a kook! It's just ironic how many criticisms and conspiracy theories he throws out there about others and yet how seriously people want to take him.

He's not even really a food safety crusader, he's just a vocal proponent of the "whole foods movement". Other than that, he's a former heroin addict Kennedy dynasty failson.
