Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. experienced a series of health issues in recent years, including an abnormality that he said was caused by a worm that entered his brain and then died...Kennedy said [that] in a 2012 deposition, which concerned a divorce from his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy...

I seriously thought this was from The Bee.

Why have opposition research, when he can do it for you?

[zeestephen]

Pay Wall at NYT, so I posted the CNN coverage.

[Orosius]

Well, that explains it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe that explains Joe Biden

RFK Jr to Biden: “A worm got into my brain and ate a portion of it. What’s your excuse?”

It just goes to show even worms don't like Demonrat brains—it sopped after a few bites.

The good news is...Noem’s off the media hook for killing a dog.

No!? Surely you must be kidding… /s

Story says:

Worms don’t eat brain

[JudyinCanada]

How does a worm get into your brain? Through your ear? Nose? I’ve never heard tell of such a thing. An earthworm? Good grief....this sounds crazy.

[HombreSecreto]

More like the RFK Jr “Checkers” speech.

“I’m keeping the worm - my kids love it.”

[NonValueAdded]

No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

[faithhopecharity]

a nice big worm ate half of RFK’s brain, eh?

that still leaves him a significant improvement over B

They’ve already picked up that ball and ran it back for a TD

Re: "could have"

Here is the full quote:

A New York doctor, after reviewing a scan of his brain, told him that his health issues could be "caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died," Kennedy said in the 2012 deposition, which concerned a divorce from his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy. Robert Kennedy said at the time that his earning power had been negatively affected by the cognitive issues, the Times reported.

No problem. We'll just furnish him with a new one.

But it was only fantasy
