The 70-year-old former presidential candidate did not go into detail about the decapitation of the whale, but his daughter previously described how he had used a chainsaw to cut the head off a dead whale 30 years ago.

One of his daughters, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, described in a 2012 article how her father cut the head off a dead whale that had washed ashore and bungee-corded it to the family’s car.

Kennedy’s daughter recalled the whale incident in a 2012 interview with Town and Country magazine, which recently resurfaced and was shared on social media.
