RFK Jr. compared Trump to Hitler in freshly surfaced 2016 comments

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, accusing him of exploiting societal insecurities for power. Kennedy criticized Trump’s environmental policies, claiming he prioritized corporate interests over public health, fostering climate denialism.

During Trump’s 2016 campaign, Kennedy said Trump built a “dangerous” nationalist movement by exploiting fear and xenophobia, warning about his impact on the environment. More recently, in a post on X, Kennedy said rhetoric such as comparing Trump to Hitler “divides our nation and inspires assassins.”
