"I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago," Kennedy said during a campaign event for former President Donald Trump in Glendale, Arizona, noting that he received the letter "this week."
Kennedy said that he responded in a letter, baselessly linking the National Marine Fisheries Service with whale deaths and calling for the agency to investigate.
"This is all about the weaponization of our government against political opponents," he said.
Kennedy did not go into details about the whale incident, but his daughter had previously described a situation involving a whale that took place 30 years ago.
His daughter Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, 36, described in a 2012 article for Town & Country magazine how, when she was 6, her father used a chainsaw to cut the head off a dead whale that had washed ashore and bungee-corded it to the family's car during their drive home.

and if it wasn't for his family name and money he would have been held to account for all sorts of things (drugs, theft, vandalism) long ago.

That had to look like things were a little off, tooling down the road
I do not want to read the book about what became of the remains.

So RFK Jr. considers himself a political opponent of the Biden administration? He needs locked up before he harms himself or others.
