Brain worms, dog meat and bear killing – inside wacky world of Trump’s health chief & Kennedy dynasty black sheep RFK

Kennedy denied it, saying there were three things he would never eat: a person, a monkey, or a dog.

Instead, it was RFK Jr faux biting into a goat - which has the same number of ribs as a dog, 13.

Just days before dropping out, RFK Jr confessed dumping a young bear in New York City he found on the side of the road in 2014.

The candidate said he was out falconing in New York's Hudson Valley when the animal was killed by a woman driving in the car ahead of him.

RFK Jr pulled over and picked the bear up, intending to skin it and eat its meat.

In the video of him telling the story, he said he then put the carcass in the boot of his van but had to head into the city for a dinner.

But RFK Jr then had to catch a flight and so dumped the bear in Central Park in a bush with a bicycle.

He said: "We thought it would be amusing for whoever found it. But the next day it was on every television station, it was on the front page of every paper."

It set off a minor shock in New York with people thinking it had been hit and killed by a cyclist after new cycle lanes had been introduced.

In another animal-themed incident, heat a campaign speech for Trump he revealed federal officials were investigating him for beheading a whale in 1994.

His daughter first revealed what happened in a 2012 interview with Town & Country.

She said: "[He] ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York.

"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet.

"We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day to day stuff for us."

Then, after his campaign finished, high profile New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi left her role after revealing she had "an emotional and digital affair" with RFK Jr while reporting on him.

It came as the Kennedy is married to Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Cheryl Hines.

RFK Jr dropped out of the presidential race in August after he was unable to gain steam in the polls.

He then endorsed Trump - with some of his fellow Kennedy's calling the decision a "betrayal" of their values.

Trump promised to release all remaining documents relating to the 1963 assassination of JFK.

He has now been named as Trump's health secretary but has questionable views on the topic.

Last year, he said: "I do believe that autism comes from vaccines."

As part of his Make America Healthy Again, he wants to remove fluoride from water and stop all government research into vaccines and diseases.

Instead, he wants the health department to focus on other aspects of people's life that make them sick like "loneliness, despair, disassociation, alienation."

During his campaign he posted videos of himself shirtless and working out as he sought to appear fitter than the two major party candidates.
