Kennedy said on Wednesday that he’s confident of winning a presidential debate even if he were to eat a couple more of those “brain worms.”
“I offer to eat 5 more brain worms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in a debate,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X.
“I feel confident of the result even with a six-worm handicap,” he said in a subsequent post.
Kennedy’s remarks came after The New York Times wrote about his health issues in a report published on the same day. Kennedy claimed that doctors found a dead worm in his brain during his divorce deposition in 2012, per The Times.
Doctors, Kennedy said, told him that the dark spot that appeared on his brain scan was “caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
Kennedy’s campaign press secretary, Stefanie Spear, earlier confirmed with BI that he was indeed infected with a parasite 10 years ago but has since recovered.
