Here we go again. Rosie O’Donnell — once America’s loudest daytime talk show liberal, now just a cranky expat hiding out in Ireland — has reemerged from her self-imposed exile to attack President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for daring to tell the truth about a crisis the Left refuses to face: the autism epidemic in America.
Kennedy, whose nomination by President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, recently called attention to the devastating toll severe autism takes on families — comments that, predictably, triggered the Left’s outrage machine into overdrive. O’Donnell, with the subtlety of a bullhorn in a cathedral, told CNN that Kennedy should “resign or be released from his position” because his comments were “disgraceful” and “dehumanizing.”
Let’s pause for a moment. This is the same Rosie O’Donnell who fled to Ireland in protest of President Trump’s election and has spent the last eight years whining from across the Atlantic about a country she abandoned. Yet somehow, she still thinks she has the moral authority to weigh in on who should serve in the U.S. Cabinet.
Her outrage? Kennedy said, quote, “autism destroys families, and more importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which is our children.” He was speaking specifically about the most severe cases — children who cannot speak, cannot be toilet trained, cannot function independently. Children whose lives — and the lives of their families — have been permanently and painfully altered. That’s not “dehumanizing.” That’s reality. And the Left hates reality.
Instead of addressing Kennedy’s point — that the skyrocketing autism rates in this country demand a serious, scientific investigation — O’Donnell played the victim card, citing her own experience as a parent of a non-binary autistic child. She said her child “regressed into themselves,” but a therapy dog helped. That’s genuinely touching, but it doesn’t change the fact that tens of thousands of American families are struggling with far more severe cases and have no answers.
Rather than support Kennedy’s effort to investigate this public health emergency, the media and Hollywood elites are circling the wagons, terrified that anyone might actually question the sacred cows of Big Pharma and institutional medicine. The same people who spent years gaslighting the public about the origins of COVID, lockdowns, and vaccines now want you to believe that questioning the explosion of autism diagnoses is somehow dangerous.
Here’s what’s really dangerous: pretending it’s normal for 1 in 36 children to be diagnosed with autism. Ignoring the suffering of families raising severely disabled kids. Silencing the only public official in Washington willing to say, “Let’s look at the data and find out what’s going on.”
Kennedy isn’t afraid to point fingers, either. He’s gone straight at the money trail, stating, “Somebody made a profit by putting that environmental toxin into our air, our water, our medicines, our food.” That’s the kind of fearless, tell-it-like-it-is leadership that President Trump demands — and that terrifies the establishment.
O’Donnell, meanwhile, continues her long-running feud with President Trump from her Irish cottage, declaring it’s “heartbreaking” to see what he’s done to the country. Let’s be honest: Rosie’s been heartbroken since about 2004. Her bitterness is less about Trump’s policies and more about the fact that she’s been publicly humiliated by him for over two decades. She didn’t leave America for Ireland. She ran away because she lost the argument — and the election.
The American people are tired of being lectured by failed talk show hosts and Hollywood has-beens. They want answers. They want the truth. And thanks to President Trump and Secretary Kennedy, they might finally get it.
