Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed during a campaign event in Glendale, Arizona, that he is being investigated for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago. He claimed he received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute this week, linking the investigation to political motives. Kennedy’s daughter had previously shared a story about her father cutting the head off a dead whale and bungee-cording it to the family car. Kennedy denied killing any whales and refrained from providing details about the incident. The National Marine Fisheries Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Kennedy has faced criticism for past comments about disposing of a dead bear in Central Park. Environmental groups have called for investigations into both incidents. Despite the controversies, Kennedy continues to endorse former President Donald Trump and focus on serious policy issues during his campaign events. The investigation, along with prior wildlife incidents, has sparked calls for accountability and ethical behavior from Kennedy, drawing attention from both the media and environmental groups. Kennedy’s actions have raised concerns about alleged misuse of privilege and integrity.
