Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Criticizes Trump in Resurfaced Audio

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, has a history of sharply criticizing Trump, comparing him to Adolf Hitler and labeling his supporters as 'belligerent idiots' and 'outright Nazis'. In resurfaced audio from his radio show 'Ring of Fire', Kennedy accused Trump of exploiting societal fears and xenophobia to build a dangerous nationalist movement, while acknowledging that Trump, unlike Hitler, lacks a definitive policy plan. Despite his past condemnations, Kennedy has recently softened his stance, endorsing Trump after exiting the 2024 presidential race. Critics, including former Republican congressman Denver Riggleman, have expressed concern over Kennedy's appointment, comparing his controversial views to those of notorious figures. Kennedy has since apologized for his previous comments, claiming he was misled by the media's portrayal of Trump. If confirmed, Kennedy will oversee significant health initiatives as part of Trump's administration.
