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.

It was a goat.
His date seems to be enjoying dog too. Not the first dem Presidential candidate to eat dog. Didn’t hurt the first one.
Was Kristi Noem around?
What’s the big deal, he will be a big hit in China.
Wow. Some friend he sent the pic to
Boy they are digging deep to discredit him. They threw dog eater and heroin addict all into one little story.
Are we wanting to elect a President of the USA, or are we wanting to elect a Chef of average American Cusine?
It is unsettling, but so what? Humans like to eat meat.
Meanwhile, there are bigger fish to fry.
**This is not what Washington usually means when they bring up Andrew Jackson’s ‘Kitchen Cabinet’.
That qualifies him as more Native American than Warren.
Anything can be photoshopped these days.
I would never eat a dog, but that dog was going to be cooked and eaten whether he was there or not.
I can’t tell what it is, but it appears to be over-cooked. 🤠
Probably Biden camp trying to get to him to get his votes, they still refuse secret service protection
And in Patagonia in South America. Nowhere near Asia.

I can see that it was a goat.
Man they really hate Kennedy. All because of the covid thing?
“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”
I find the concept amusing myself when it is talked about in the abstract.
What’s weird is that he actually had a dog carcass and went to that much trouble with the joke. That moves it from amusing to bizarro.
Who gives a rip? This is silly.
I wouldn’t want to be a guinea pig in Peru.
