Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized for his comments at the anti-vaccine rally, which his wife called "reprehensible."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an antivaccine nonprofit.
Kennedy said at a Washington, D.C. rally that even in Hitler's Germany, you could hide.
Kennedy apologized Tuesday for referencing Frank, he only intended to use examples of past barbarism to show the perils of new technologies of control.
Kennedy's wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Cheryl Hines, said Tuesday that her husband's reference to Frank was reprehensible and that his opinions did not reflect her views.
Kennedy claimed at the Children's Health Defense rally that digital currency would be used to cut off food supplies and that satellites owned by Bill Gates would be used to constantly observe the planet.
Antivaccine activists have tried to compare vaccine mandates to the systematic and ruthless destruction of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. The yellow Star of David, which the Nazis forced Jews to wear, has been used by the Oklahoma Republican Party to suggest that unvaccinated people have been treated unfairly. Kennedy has repeatedly invoked Nazi comparisons while speaking for Children's Health Defense, publishing a video including an image of White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci with a superimposed Hitler mustache. The Associated Press reported that Kennedy likened the antivaccine cause to a second American Revolution.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum said that making reckless comparisons to the Holocaust, the murder of 6 million Jews, for a political agenda is offensive.
Kennedy's apology was highly qualified, but he did not distance himself from comparisons of Covid-19 mandates to the Holocaust. Kennedy said that his remarks caused hurt.
Robert F Kennedy Jr apologized for the Anne Frank comparison.
