Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was reportedly photographed next to what appeared to be a barbecued dog, according to a story first reported by Vanity Fair.

The image, dated to 2010 based on metadata analysis by the publication, shows Kennedy seemingly endorsing the consumption of the animal while in Korea, advising a friend to try it.

A veterinarian consulted by Vanity Fair suggested the animal was likely a dog due to its rib structure.

Here’s a photo of @RobertKennedyJr happily posing with a barbecued dog.

New reporting in @VanityFair reveals a friend has warned RFK Jr.’s campaign could cause him to “go down as one of the great villains in American history.”

Kennedy, the son of former Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, initially sought the Democratic presidential nomination but later withdrew to run as an independent candidate.

RFK Jr.’s Political Stances

He is known for his strong anti-vaccine stance and support for various conspiracy theories, including unsubstantiated claims about COVID-19, voter fraud in the 2004 election, and links between mass shootings and prescription drugs.

Despite controversy surrounding him, Kennedy remains a candidate in the upcoming presidential election, where he will compete against President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
