MSNBC’s Chris Hayes talks about RFK’s “weird kind of obsession” with autism – Twitchy
Do you remember when President Barack Obama put his vice president, Joe Biden, in charge of the Cancer Moonshot project, and they were on their way to curing cancer during the Obama administration? President Biden revived the program during his administration, and in July of 2023, he took credit for its cure. “I said I was going to cure cancer, and they looked at me and said, ‘Why cancer? Because we can. We ended cancer as we know it,'” Biden said. (This editor’s sister-in-law will have cancer surgery tomorrow.)
What is this strange obsession that Biden has with cancer? And why did it seem like he didn’t do anything about it?
MSNBC’s Christopher Hayes is mystified by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy with autism. Autism is like this “creeping ghost,” Hayes says. Kennedy corrupted the public health system in his quest to find out why autism cases were rising.

Hayes is one inch away from saying autism is good just to stick it to Kennedy.
RFK does not want children to suffer and wants children to live healthy and happy lives. Chris thinks this is weird. I don’t think RFK is the problem in this story.

Isn’t this a good thing? It’s not as if we shouldn’t investigate something that has increased by an astronomical amount in the past 50 years.

How is this a bad thing?
It’s as if someone has a strange obsession with finding a cure for cancer.

I believe Chris Hayes has not met any children/adults with severe autism.

He has contacts on the spectrum.
Chris Hayes is fortunate that he has not had to experience profound autism. No parent who has experienced this would wish it on their worst enemy.

Great point Chris! I mean, can you imagine the audacity of Jonas Salk’s “bizarre obsession” with finding a cure for polio?

Why does our country’s chief public health officer want to prevent a devastating neurodevelopmental condition…🤦♂️
Good grief.
This is what TDS does to people.

Megyn Kelly had a similar reaction.
What nonsense? https://t.co/2MKlvOgxbp

Democrats have a strange obsession with hating everything and anything that comes from this White House.

I went to a family reunion recently. All of my cousins and my younger cousin are all on the spectrum. So, not 1 in 30 or 1 in 12. More like 5 in 8. So, by all means, please obsess over the cause and the cure.

Many of us have a strange obsession with finding the cause of autism. It must cross party lines.

Just as the right is trying to end autism, the left is trying to turn autism into a protected identity category. Like another gender.
They don’t want a cure. They see this as an opportunity.

exactly.
For many on the left, their position is that it is purely genetic and that the increase is simply due to better recognition and diagnosis. They greatly underestimate the importance of environmental causes that interact with genetic predisposition.

Total clown makes total clown sounds. Thank God RFK is trying to find the cause of autism. All you have to do is spend one day with a young man whose life has been ruined by the onset of autism, and you’ll pray that someone in power would be so obsessed.

Chris Hayes has a strange obsession with trying to accuse the Health Secretary of being overly concerned with people’s health 🙄 pic.twitter.com/cA8JgON1WR

He only hates Kennedy because he works for Donald Trump now. TDS is his strange obsession.
