RFK Jr. denies eating a dog while sidestepping sexual assault allegations in Vanity Fair article | CNN Politics

Wait until you see the candidates!

Actual quote:

The Vanity Fair article also features Eliza Cooney, a former part-time babysitter who worked for Kennedy between 1998 and 1999, alleging that he groped her in his kitchen. Kennedy declined to directly acknowledge the sexual assault accusation at first, instead dismissing “the other allegations” as part of a “very, very rambunctious youth.”

“I’ve said this from the beginning. I am not a church boy. I am not running like that. I said … I had a very, very rambunctious youth. I said in my announcement speech that I have … so many skeletons in my closet, that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world,” Kennedy said, adding, “Vanity Fair is recycling 30-year-old stories, and I, you know, am not gonna comment on the details of any of them.”

When asked directly whether he denied sexually assaulting Cooney, Kennedy repeated, “I’m not going to comment on it.”

This comes right after he directly and at length denied the allegations that he ate part of a dog.

Also, this part of his very, very rambunctious youth happened (allegedly) when he was 45 and had several children.

He was just an excitable boy!

For context, there’s a picture of him miming biting into a roasted dog that he sent someone with a note that he could recommend a good restaurant for dog meat. It’s not just a random speculation.
