and Cheryl needs to leave him. .
both would happen, but doubt it will. I am sure he has many followers who believe in him. As far as his wife, I really dont understand why she married him.

(16,356 posts)7. Here's what he actually said about Anne Frank.
I find it frustrating to read an apology when I don't know exactly is being apologized for, so this drove me crazy until I did some googling. Here's what I found:

Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made deeply offensive" comments when he suggested things are worse for people today than they were for Anne Frank, the teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in a secret annex in an Amsterdam house for two years, several Jewish advocacy and Holocaust remembrance groups said Monday.
Making reckless comparisons to the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews, for a political agenda is outrageous and deeply offensive. Those who carelessly invoke Anne Frank, the star badge, and the Nuremberg Trials exploit history and the consequences of hate, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum said Monday in a statement posted to Twitter.
*snip*
During a Sunday rally in Washington organized by his anti-vaccine nonprofit group Children's Health Defense, Kennedy complained that people's rights were being violated by public health measures that had been taken to reduce the number of people sickened and killed by COVID-19. He said the nations leading infectious disease doctor, Anthony Fauci, was orchestrating fascism."
Even in Hitlers Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did, said Kennedy, a nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of his slain brother, former U.S. attorney general, civil rights activist and Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy.
Kennedy Jr. went on to say that today, the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide, and complained about 5G, the newest generation of wireless communication networks, and about vaccine passports.
