LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Former President Donald Trump didn't hold back in his criticism of Fox News for featuring Robert Kennedy Jr on their platform, bluntly branding him as "the dumbest member of the Kennedy Clan" and labeling his views as those of a "Radical Left Lunatic." 

In a post on his Truth Social website on Wednesday night, Trump expressed disdain for Fox's decision to give airtime to Kennedy, accusing the network of providing a platform for someone who, he perceives, has extreme views on climate change.

Donald Trump slams Fox News for hosting RFK Jr

He wrote, “So bad that FoxNews puts RFK Jr, considered the dumbest member of the Kennedy Clan, on their fairly conservative platform so much. Competitive networks don’t want anything to do with him. He’s a Radical Left Lunatic whose crazy Climate Change views make the Democrat’s Green New Scam look Conservative.”



 

The former president's remarks seem to be triggered by Kennedy's recent appearance on Fox News, where he discussed his candidacy for president as an independent.

Despite trailing behind both President Joe Biden and Trump in polls, Kennedy asserted his readiness to challenge them on issues like the national debt and claimed he could emerge victorious against either candidate.

Trump and his associates have intensified their criticism of Kennedy in recent days, with Trump even suggesting that Republicans should not waste their votes on him, describing Kennedy as a "phony Liberal Activist." He added, "Republicans, don’t waste your precious vote on this phony Liberal Activist. With all of that said, he probably hurts Sleepy Crooked Joe more than “US!”"

Social media reacts

Social media reactions to the feud between former President Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr illustrate the strong opinions surrounding both figures.

One user wrote, "A 7 yr old would be a better debater than #Trump. #DementiaDon is incapable of putting intelligible words together to express a single thought. #SleepyDon would have an even difficult time remaining awake. #Truth #debate."

One said, "Here’s President Biden!! Best President EVER!! You’re the worse . You’re the criminal. You’re the one sitting in a courtroom falling asleep. Sleepy Donald Trump."

One user replied, "You’re just badmouthing him because he’s taking more and more of YOUR votes every day!"

Another said, "You would not be posting about him if he wasn’t a threat to your campaign."

One commented, "The dumbest member of the Kennedy clan is 10 times smarter than anyone in the Trump family, including you."

Another said, "RFK making you nervous huh? "
