Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once ate a dog — or so Vanity Fair wants you to believe.
The magazine printed a photo of Mr. Kennedy with an unidentified female hamming it up for the camera on a purported trip in Korea, pretending to bite into a cooked animal. Vanity Fair says a veterinarian identified the barbequed carcass as a canine. Mr. Kennedy says it was a goat and that the picture was taken in Patagonia.
The allegation is just one shocking element in a 7,600-word article by Joe Hagan that could be best described as a hit piece. The article details Mr. Kennedy’s 14 years of heroin addiction, his sexual escapades, the suicide of his wife, his defense of Michael Skakel, and a new sexual assault accusation.
