Alabama state Rep. John Rogers blasted Donald Trump Jr. as “evidently retarded” on Thursday after the president’s son condemned him for controversial comments he made defending abortion.
Mr. Rogers, a Democrat, sparked a backlash Wednesday after he told lawmakers during a filibuster against an abortion ban that “some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later.
“You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, and you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later,” Mr. Rogers said in opposing House Bill 314, which passed the House later Wednesday.
Mr. Trump Jr., President Trump’s eldest son, called Mr. Rogers‘ remarks “truly sickening” in a tweet Wednesday evening, writing, “This is stomach curling and makes Ralph Northam look like a moderate on abortion. Every Democrat running for President needs to be asked where they stand on this. The extreme turn we’ve seen from Dems on abortion recently is truly sickening.”

Right or wrong,the presidents family should stay completely out of the presidents business and completely out of politics until he is out of office.
American business? First Amenment?
I disagree
Can you imagine the howls of outrage if a republican had used the term "retarded"?
"Retarded" is a higher education compared to Rep. Rogers.
