Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is apologizing — kind of — for saying at an anti-vaccine mandate rally in D.C. over the weekend that, “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did“:

Well, maybe if people are so angry at what he said *this* time, libs shouldn’t have embraced him after the *last* time? From 2019:
