From the New York Post: Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had posed with the dead bear cub he found and later dumped in Central Park in a graphic, new photo that emerged Monday.
The harrowing photo, published by the New Yorker magazine, shows Kennedy sitting beside the dead cub in the back of his car in 2014 as he posed with the creature to make it look like the animal was biting his hand.
Kennedy, 70, could be seen with a pained grimace on his face as he held the cub’s head up against him, with the creature’s bloody teeth pressed against his hand.
The dead cub’s bloody wounds could also be seen in the graphic photograph, as Kennedy claimed that the bear was hit by a woman driving in front of him during an outing in upstate New York.
