Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in New York City's Central Park in 2014. In a video released Sunday, Kennedy confessed to staging the scene to make it appear as though the bear had been hit by a bicycle. The video, which also features Roseanne Barr, was released in an apparent attempt to preempt a forthcoming New Yorker article detailing the incident. Kennedy explained that he initially planned to skin the bear for its meat but abandoned the idea due to time constraints and a reservation at Peter Luger. The bizarre act was intended as a commentary on bike lanes and was carried out while Kennedy was intoxicated. Kennedy retrieved the bear while driving in Hudson Valley. The incident has sparked widespread media coverage and public bewilderment.
