Trump’s pick to lead Health and Human Services once argued that president-elect was worse than Hitler. Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, vaccine-denier Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had harsh words for the president-elect and his supporters following his 2016 win. In a December 2016 episode of his “Ring of Fire” radio show, unearthed by CNN’s KFile, Kennedy blasted Trump’s voters as “belligerent idiots” allied with “spineless fellow travelers.” The now-thought leader of the Make America Healthy Again platform also said that “outright Nazis” inside Trump’s orbit were advanced by the “cowards” and “bootlickers” within his camp. Kennedy went on to compare Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, concluding that the Republican was in some ways worse. “[At least] Hitler was interested in policy,” Kennedy said. (…) On the radio in 2016, Kennedy attacked Trump’s populist playbook, comparing him to European dictators like Francisco Franco and Benito Mussolini, as well as American white supremacists George Wallace and Father Charles Coughlin. “You can see that every statement that Donald Trump makes is fear-based … trust in me, vote for me and everything will be great again. And of course, that whole thing is like a carnival barker,” Kennedy said..

Kennedy Jr. to the list of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump who once compared him to Adolf Hitler. Kennedy, who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for Secretary of Health and Human Services, has a long history of promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation about vaccines and other health topics. In audio recordings from Kennedy’s radio show, Ring of Fire, CNN senior reporter Andrew Kaczynski found multiple examples of Kennedy sharply criticizing Trump, including times when he drew connections to the genocidal Nazi dictator. Kennedy’s comments could be viewed as even harsher than those by Vice President-elect JD Vance, who called Trump “America’s Hitler,” because Kennedy assessed the former-and-future president as actually worse than Hitler in a key way.
