RFK Compared Trump To Hitler, Called Cultists “Nazis”

CNN reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, has a long history of scathing critiques against Trump, labeling him a “threat to democracy,” a “bully,” and, as recently as July, a “terrible president.”

But Kennedy’s harshest attacks date back to Trump’s rise in 2016, when on his radio show “Ring of Fire,” Kennedy applauded descriptions of Trump’s base as “belligerent idiots” and suggestions that some were “outright Nazis” and “spineless fellow travelers.” Kennedy also likened Trump to historical demagogues like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, accusing Trump of exploiting societal insecurities and xenophobia to amass power.

After Trump won in 2016, Kennedy concluded in one episode from December of that year that Trump was at least in one way not like Hitler, because, “Hitler was interested in policy.”

Read the full article. Kennedy has already apologized.

NEW on RFK Jr.: In audio we uncovered from his radio show he read and praised a description of Trump and his supporters as “belligerent idiots,” “outright Nazis,” and “cowards” and “bootlickers.”

He also compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.https://t.co/b4hXNCVKMi pic.twitter.com/EjbZS1FP4X

In a statement to CNN, RFK Jr. apologized for his comments.

“Like many Americans, I allowed myself to believe the mainstream media’s distorted, dystopian portrait of President Trump. I no longer hold this belief and now regret having made those statements,” he said.
