It’s not every day one hears the names Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in the same sentence.
But that is exactly what happened when Fox News anchor Griff Jenkins said as much, jokingly, when he appeared on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz“ Sunday.
Mediaite reported the comparison was made during a conversation between Jenkins and host Howard Kurtz when the pair talked about Kennedy’s “bizarre” interest in collecting roadkill.
In particular, they discussed the resurfaced story of Kennedy cutting the head off a dead beached whale with a chainsaw and tying it to the roof of his vehicle.
Since the claim’s resurfacing, environmentalists are asking for an investigation over the removal and transportation of the head, which may have broken the law.
The incident allegedly happened around 1994 and was reported in a 2012 “Town & Country” interview with Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy, the former independent presidential candidate’s daughter.
“Kennedy, who’s already admitted covering up, putting a dead bear in his car, now faces a tale once told by his daughter, Kick, about how he used a chainsaw to cut off the head of a dead whale and strapped it to the roof of his car,” Kurtz said. “What is it with RFK and dead animals? Mitt Romney should ask for a recount for all the media mockery he got for putting a dog, his dog, on his roof. At least the dog was alive!”
Jenkins responded by linking Kennedy and Dahlmer, albeit in jest.
“This is not normal. You know who else collected roadkill? Jeffrey Dahmer,” Jenkins said. “This is really bizarre stuff. An environmental group is actually calling for an investigation to see if that incident violated some sort of mammal marine protection act. So he could actually face some sort of investigation.”
Kennedy dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump last month.
