About

The RFK Jr. Dead Whale Story refers to a 2024 investigation into Robert F. Kennedy Jr. concerning a story about him allegedly harvesting the head of a dead whale in the 1990s. RFK Jr.'s daughter Kick Kennedy originally told the story in an interview with Town & Country Magazine, saying that her father chainsawed the head off to study its skull. The investigation was launched in September 2024, over two decades later, by a federal law enforcement agency, weeks after the viral RFK Jr. Dead Bear Cub story that RFK Jr. confessed to. As the story was picked up in the media, it prompted a wave of reactions and memes online.

Background

On December 25th, 2012, Town & Country Magazine[1] published an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter Kick Kennedy. She relayed a story from when she was six (in 1994) about her father harvesting the head of a dead whale on the beach at Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. She said that her father "ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale's head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York."

"We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us."

Robert F. Kennedy fought against the mob and corruption. He was friends with Martin Luther King Jr. He advocated for the poor and the downtrodden, and opposed the US's involvement in Vietnam.

He was everything his son isn't. RFK Jr is a fucking blight on his namesake.
