Far left ideologue and actress Rosie O’Donnell melted down live on CNN after RFK, Trump’s head of Health and Human Services (HHS), said that autistic people are at a disadvantage when compared to the neurotypical.
For context, Rosie O’Donnell has disliked Donald Trump since the early 1990s, well before he entered politics. After the 2016 election, their feud deepened with O’Donnell catching a full case of TDS and taking every opportunity to attack the President. More recently, O’Donnell announced that she had fled the country after the 2024 election and received Irish citizenship.
In any case, the controversy started when CNN’s Pamela Brown asked the actress to share her opinion on RFK’s recent comments. She asked, “I want to get your reaction to something that RFK Jr, the HHS Secretary, recently said that sparked controversy with these comments about autistic people.”
Following up, the mainstream media host played a clip of RFK speaking about autism. He said, “This is an individual tragedy as well. Autism destroys families. More importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which are children. These are children who should not be, who should not be suffering like this. These are kids who many of them were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they’re two years old.”
Concluding his remarks, the HHS secretary explained, “And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted, and we have to recognize we are doing this to our children.”
Bookending Kennedy’s remarks, Brown pivoted to the woke actress. She said, “Now he has since clarified that he was talking about a subset of people with severe autism. I just want to make sure that that’s out there, but go ahead.”
Responding with an unhinged rant, O’Donnell attacked Robert F. Kennedy. She said, “Yeah, I think it’s very disrespectful. I think it’s disgraceful, and I think he is wholly unqualified to be the head of Health and Human Services. I think most of the Cabinet picks that Donald Trump has made are part of his vision of a reality show government.”

Wrapping up her remarks, she smeared the entire Trump government saying, “[They are] not the most qualified people available, especially Robert Kennedy, and to think that his family is the one that created the Special Olympics, and he would go on with such disgraceful, dehumanizing remarks, is absolutely deplorable, and I feel he should resign or be released from his position.”

In the comments under this clip, social media users ponced on the woke actress. One such comment read, “So she runs from actually doing anything, to sniping from another country. Sniping about nothing she actually knows about. CNN really is really getting low in their interviews. Who watches them?” Another added, “Democrats insist everyone in the Trump admin should be fired or resign. This was predicted before anyone was even nominated for positions.”
