      The worm died over a decade ago…

      And Kennedy seems to think the cause of death was eating his brain

      Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

    When this hit Morning Joe on my morning drive into work, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much.

    What. The. Fuck.

    it ate a portion of his brain

    Seriously. What the fuck is this time-line?

        The quote is hilarious

        Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

        Just the way he said it makes it sound like eating his brain killed the worm…

        Also, this was from a divorce testimony in 2012 about a past event.

        It’s not a new development, he’s been like this over a decade.

    The phrasing of “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” implies that just a nibble of his brain was so toxic that it caused the parasitic worm to die. Hopefully RFK Jr. gets proper treatment and any lasting effects are healed. With a presidential race where the candidates’ mental faculties are such a point of contention, it seems like RFK Jr. will avoid much of the armchair doctors’ criticism despite his affliction because he’s not either of the two main candidates.
