Third Party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has opened up about some of the health problems that he has faced over the years, but one of his admissions caused the internet to absolutely erupt this week. Kennedy reported that many years ago he had a parasitic worm in his brain that died after it had actually eaten parts of his brain. For a candidate that is already being criticized for some of his wackier beliefs, admitting you had brain worms wasn't exactly the best route to go, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

The New York Times came out with a startling profile of third party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. This week, where they revealed that Kennedy had said during a deposition many years ago that in the year 2010, he began experiencing, uh, what is it, memory loss and mental fogginess that was so severe that a friend of his actually suggested you may have a brain tumor, considering obviously the fact that his uncle, uh, Senator Ted Kennedy had died from a brain tumor. It's a very serious thing. So he goes into the doctor, they no notice and an anomaly on his brain scan that they thought was a tumor. But according to Kennedy, turns out it was not a tumor after all, it was a worm, a parasitic worm that he says had made its way somehow into his brain and had actually eaten parts of his brain. So the guy who's running for president trying to portray himself as you know, far healthier than President Biden, definitely in better shape than Donald J. Trump. Why choose between these two elderly guys who can barely stand up when you can go with the healthy guy now revealed that a worm has at least eaten part of his brain. Now, believe it or not, we were actually able to get footage of the doctor following the removal of the worm, and, uh, here is what the doctor had to say. Take a look.
Poor little guys, 12 to death.
You know what? I'm actually sorry that I did that. Uh, probably shouldn't have, but you know what? Sometimes you just gotta laugh at things, right? Because I'm not the only one laughing at this. When this story was revealed yesterday, Wednesday, social media absolutely blew up with the claim that Bobby Kennedy Jr. Has brain worms. You had people on both the left and the right amplifying this story, mocking it, making fun of it. A lot of people saying, oh, well this explains a lot, doesn't it? Now, if you, if you wanna see all those seriously, you can go to social media. It is everywhere everybody's, you know, talking about this. But here's the thing, this is obviously a very serious situation for Bobby. This happened in the year 2010, and of course, we would not wish that on anybody. It is actually not a laughing matter.
So again, I go and apologize for, for running that clip that, you know, it was my decision. I found it funny. But let's move on. Here's the thing though. We now have the three front runners for president of the United States. We got a guy, we got an octogenarian, right? President Biden, who's definitely lost a step or two. We've got the raging overweight narcissist facing 92 felony counts, who also, according to mental health specialists, uh, has something wrong with his brain. And now we learned that the guy in third place also had brain worms on top of a couple other health issues that were revealed in that New York Times piece. So is this really the best we can do America, right? The guy in his eighties, the guy who's on criminal trial, or the guy that had brain worms, really that's where we are as a country. Those are the three top picks to be the next president of the United States. Because honestly, you look around this country with more than 300 million people, and those are the best three. There is definitely something wrong with us as a country.
