Monday

Kennedy had 10% of the vote in the primary in some states and Trump needed that 10%. Children’s Health Defence which Kennedy ran for 8 yrs has millions of moms with autistic kids so he has a huge following. On X- the moms of severely autistic kids post a lot.

“People want to gaslight us into believing this is a “gift”. This is the reality of many parents in the US with severe autistic children. A teen of his size can easily kill her. What happens to him when she dies? Who’s going to look after these children?
