Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responds to the sensational allegations that he sexually abused a babysitter: “I am who I am”

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has addressed sensational allegations that he sexually abused a former family babysitter, claiming: “I am who I am.”

An article in Vanity Fair magazine examined Kennedy’s history of “reckless” behavior, including allegations that he ate a dog, used drugs and sexually abused a babysitter. He has denied all of these allegations.

Eliza Cooney, 23, was employed as a part-time babysitter by Kennedy and his then-wife Mary Richardson in 1998, the magazine reported.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admits he had a “very wild youth”

Appearing on the Breaking Points podcast on Tuesday, Kennedy explained, “I’m not a church boy.”

Kennedy admitted to podcast host Saagar Enjeti that he “had a very, very wild youth.” “I said in my inaugural speech that I have so many skeletons in the closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world.”

He also explained that Vanity Fair was “recycling” 30-year-old stories and that he was sure he would not go into any of those stories in detail because “you know, I am who I am.”

Vanity Fair also published a photo showing Kennedy and his buddy holding up a roasted animal carcass that they appear to be eating.

It claimed that Kennedy had emailed the above-mentioned photo to a friend the previous year and suggested that he try a restaurant in South Korea that serves dog meat.

Kennedy claims it was a goat carcass

Kennedy denied the photo, which shows him with a grilled dog carcass, saying it was actually the carcass of a goat and that the photo was taken in Patagonia.

On social media platform X, Kennedy wrote: “When your veterinary experts call a goat a dog and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, you know you have joined the ranks of the supermarket tabloids.”

“The DNC media’s trash can journalism may distract us from President Biden’s cognitive deficits, but it does little to elevate the national debate or lower food prices,” he added.

Kennedy claimed in a divorce document from his late ex-wife, Mary Richardson, that the tapeworm ate part of his brain and caused a “brain fog” that reduced his ability to work. However, it is unclear where he consumed this meal.

According to a report by Vanity Fair, Kennedy may have caught the brain parasite from a “dog” in 2010.

Kennedy, who is running against both Donald Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden in the November 5 presidential election, is being called a potential “election spoiler” because of his ability to divert votes from both candidates.
