Convicted felon President-Elect Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F Kennedy Jr in 2016 applauded descriptions of Trump’s base as “belligerent idiots” and suggestions that some were “outright Nazis” and “spineless fellow travelers,” according to audio if Kennedy’s radio show “Ring of Fire,” CNN reports on unearthed audio of a big no-no in politics.
“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,” Kennedy said in a statement that he may or may not have actually written.
