  • Slashed Autism Funding: RFK Jr. promised to identify the causes of autism but has eliminated parts of his agency actively investigating them and has cut millions in funding for autism research.
  • Silent on Rollbacks: Once an ardent environmentalist who took on big polluters, RFK Jr. has been silent on Trump’s dismantling of efforts to combat climate change and pollution.
  • Conflicting Priorities: RFK Jr. helps lead an administration that is reversing regulations on pollution and chemicals, including some linked to autism.

If RFK Sr. was around he would disown this fucking clown. His family has already done it. What a loser! But he fits in with the rest of the idiots who counsel the King Idiot himself. What a world we live in and it's only because trump has let loose the fools to rampage. F*** em all!
