Investigate RFK Jr.’s costly and shocking bear cub crime!
News broke that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to picking up a dead bear cub and lying and staging it in Central Park in New York City to appear like a cyclist accident 10 years ago.
Demand that the city launch an official investigation and that RFK Jr. be fined and held responsible for any wasted resources originally spent by the NYPD investigating this incident and by the city for sanitizing the park and disposing of the bear cub!
Why is this important?
As RFK Jr. continues his irresponsible spoiler campaign for president, more concerning and odd information continues to surface about his track record. This most recent confession is just one of many that calls into question RFK Jr.’s judgment and his ability to put the American people first. It’s clear: he is deeply unfit to serve as president.
RFK Jr. has been lying about this incident for ten years. And he didn't even confess until he was caught by a journalist. RFK Jr. finally disclosed that he dumped a dead bear cub carcass in Central Park along with an old bicycle to make it look like it had been hit by a cyclist. The incident sparked widespread concern and confusion in the morning when it was discovered. It led to costly work by multiple city and state agencies, and added to a culture of fear around cycling and the safety of New York City's parks. RFK Jr. watched all of this happen due to his lies, and still refused to come forward.
RFK Jr. would have been 60 years old at the time—a full grown adult who knew what he was doing was a crime. He even admitted being worried, stating his prints “were all over that bike.”
RFK Jr. wants to paint this incident as a harmless prank, but when it occurred it was a mystery that concerned New York City residents and launched NYPD investigations. Also, a team had to come in and clean up the health hazard RFK Jr. dumped in the public city park. RFK Jr. is not above the law and should be held responsible for the wasted time and resources his recklessness cost New York taxpayers.
That’s why we’re urging city officials to investigate RFK Jr.’s crime and hold him financially accountable!
