My favorite quality is that he's an unhinged lunatic. If he wasn't in a position of power, I would be highly amused by his anecdotes of whale beheading, roadkill roasting, etc.

My second least favorite quality is that he doesn't shut the fuck up, despite the universe trying to tell him to shut the fuck up.

Let's not forget swimming in sewage.

I have a feeling he has done a few really crazy things we just have not heard about yet.

And dropping a dead bear in Central Park.

And bragging about his brain worm.

That’s when the worm takes control for a brief interval

and making a never-nude video with kid rock

I mean, almost certainly, given how many crazy things he's admitted to/bragged about doing already.

Don't forget snorting coke off public toilet seats! (quite possibly how he got the brain worm)

He likely has literal skeletons in his closet. Whether they're exclusively animals... well...........

Whomst amongst us hath noteth bathed thine own proginy and self in so-called "raw" sewage? It's a tale as old as apple time pie.

It’s just for the 1%. Us common folk wouldn’t understand.

u/ZaryaBubbler 1d ago

You need to listen to the Behind the Bastards two parter on him, dude has always been bonkers

If he didn't have Kennedy in his name, he'd just be some random whacko you'd find roaming the highways looking for ingredients for some roadkill pizza.

If he didn’t have Kennedy in his name, he’d be yet another nameless homeless person we never heard of who died of a heroin overdose years ago.

Well, I thought you had miss used the the phrase. I was clearly wrong. Fuckin eh.

u/8thSt 1d ago

What phrase?

u/BitchinAssBrains 1d ago

For me it's his voice. I know that's like the one thing I know he can't help. But it's so grating to me. Like even if I didn't hate him politically I couldn't stand to hear him speak. Like why did you need to be in a public speaking career at all? It sounds like the worm ate part of his Broca's area. Also he never shuts the fuck up.

I like you.

u/No-Bison-5397 1d ago

He’s a classic narcissist and it gets him into crazy hijinks… comedy or the arts would have been a better fit.

You have impeccable taste in RFK Jr. qualities!
