Overview
- A new biography released in excerpts Wednesday quotes a 2001 diary entry that says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cut the genitals off a road‑killed raccoon.
- The entry describes Kennedy stopping on I‑684 with his children in the car and taking the organs to study later.
- Author Isabel Vincent says she used Kennedy’s private journals obtained from his late wife, Mary Kennedy, and at least one outlet says it has asked HHS for comment.
- Media coverage Wednesday and Thursday featured widespread mockery, with MSNBC’s Morning Joe panel voicing disgust and raising questions about his fitness for the job.
- The report follows earlier episodes tied to dead animals, including Kennedy’s 2024 admission about abandoning a bear cub in Central Park and a family account of sawing off a whale’s head.
