(CNN) Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trumps 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 Kennedys harshest attacks date back to Trumps rise in 2016, when on his radio show Ring of Fire, Kennedy applauded descriptions of Trumps 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.
A CNN KFile review of Kennedys past comments shows they fit a pattern of consistent, broad-based criticism that Kennedy has leveled at Trump over the years.

(38,498 posts)Of course he could never have won, so he finally realized that "praising Chump" was the easiest way to get in.
He said some downright rude things about Chump before that point.
