A worm has eaten away part of the brain of White House candidate Robert Kennedy Jr, nephew of “JFK”, causing him to suffer serious health problems, the New York Times revealed on Wednesday May 8 in a detailed investigation. Robert Kennedy Junior is the son of former Democratic Attorney General and presidential candidate Robert “Bobby” Kennedy.
According to the New York Times, the septuagenarian suffered significant after-effects linked to the presence of a parasite in his brain. These revelations are based, among other things, on a deposition from Robert Kennedy Jr in the context of a divorce. In this document dating from 2012, the candidate indicates that doctors diagnosed that a “worm had entered his brain, had eaten part of it and died”. He then reports “obvious cognitive problems”, as well as “long-term and short-term memory loss”.
A spokesperson for the candidate confirmed that Robert Kennedy Jr had “contracted a parasite” during a trip “to Africa, South America or Asia”. “The problem was resolved more than ten years ago and today he is in very good physical and mental health,” Stefanie Spear said. And added: “It is laughable to doubt the state of health of Mr. Kennedy, when we see who he is facing” – a barely veiled dig aimed at Joe Biden, 81 years old and Donald Trump, 77 years old .
