Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is fending off claims that he once ate a barbecued dog.
Responding to allegations in a Vanity Fair article, he said that the carcass was that of a goat.
The independent presidential candidate is running as an alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been linked to numerous bizarre headlines — including an admission that he once had a worm in his brain — but things just got a lot weirder.

A Vanity Fair article on Tuesday contained an allegation that the independent presidential candidate once ate a barbecued dog.

The article featured a picture that Kennedy — an environmental lawyer —had sent to a friend in 2010, which showed him holding a crisp carcass of an animal, posing with an unidentified woman.

Vanity Fair had a veterinarian examine the picture, and the vet told the outlet it was likely a canine carcass based on the number of ribs seen in the photo.

The outlet also added that Kennedy had told his friend, who was traveling in Asia, that he might like a restaurant that had dogs on the menu.

Responding to Vanity Fair's allegations, Kennedy said in a "Breaking Points" political podcast on Tuesday that the article was "a lot of garbage."

Kennedy said: "The picture that they said is of me eating a dog, it's actually me eating a goat in Patagonia on a whitewater trip many years ago on the Futaleufu River."

He said that the vet who identified the carcass as a dog was "just not true."
