An unsettling, newly-unearthed photo shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posing with what appears to be the barbecued carcass of a dog — suggesting the Independent presidential candidate once ate man’s best friend.
Kennedy, 70, texted the upsetting photo of himself and an unidentified woman posing with the charred animal to a friend last year, according to a Vanity Fair report.
The Kennedy family scion is seen clutching the barbequed remains on a big metal spit and pretending to take a big bite out of the ribs.
The carcass has 13 pairs of ribs – including a tell-tale “floating rib” that suggests it is in fact a canine, a veterinarian told the magazine.
Kennedy shared the snap with a friend who was traveling to Asia and suggested that the friend would enjoy a restaurant in Korea that had dogs on the menu — further suggesting the 2024 candidate once ate a dog.
The recipient, however, thought the image was insensitive for how it made light of animal cruelty, the magazine added.
The friend also expressed concern that it appeared to mock Korean culture and put the reputations of Kennedy and his famous family on the line.
The photo’s metadata dates it to 2010 – the same year Kennedy was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain.
During his 2012 divorce proceedings, the 70-year-old claimed he may have contracted the parasite during a trip to South Asia.
Kennedy’s family, however, generally believed that his cognitive issues stemmed from his 14 years as a heroin user, Vanity Fair reported.

He’s trying to pander for Asian Votes
Was it road kill or did they end the poor doggy’s life humanely? The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) may be looking into it.
I hope it wasn’t Cricket. 😮
Well at least it wasn’t a family BBQ in Hyannisport.
There, I included what the story forgot.
That would disqualify my brother who ate dog in Vietnam, prepared by South Koreans. Thye called it Tay Ninh deer. He said it was pretty good until the pulled the skulls out of the coals to eat the brains and realized it was dog they were eating.
The new club member is welcomed
Obama
Romney
Noem
Since we're noting the geographic ignorance of the columnist, despite the similar names, South Korea (where the article implies this picture is taken) is not in South Asia (where the columnist believes Kennedy got that brain parasite).
Pictures don’t lie is no longer true.
So, what’s the problem with eating dog if it is?
if a dog, that ends his political career
Yeah, funny they missed that bit.
Obviously they need every D vote they can get, and can’t afford to let too many defect to RFKj or Stein or West.
Ask Kristi Noem...
“Wow. Some friend he sent the pic to”
Yeah, was the “friend” offended as a dog lover... or “offended” as an opportunistic, partisan-Democrat Joe Biden supporter?
Its the Dems who are doing this, they see that RFK Jr is hurting Biden in the swing states so they are digging up dirt on him..Trump could care less about RFK Jr he knows he hurts Biden more than him so this is coming from the DNC
Well framed. Since his own hack family members turned on him, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised
I wonder if the dog was eaten at a BBQ in a foreign country, like South Korea. Maybe he picked up the brain worm from the dog there.
The the exact cause of his spasmodic dysphonia (voice disorder) is not known. What unknown thing caused that?
Opposition research, I’d be surprised if it was the GOP.
Not a “Team Player”, doesn’t play well with others, can’t read the scorecard, bullet-magnet last name...
Are you sure you're not kidding?
