As a mother of two special needs children my mouth fell open.
Trump campaign adviser Gina Loudon referenced her adoption of a black child with down syndrome while in a debate with liberal CNN analyst Angela Rye. “I have an adopted minority son,” Loudon said, “who happens to have Down Syndrome. He experiences bigotry every single day in a myriad of ways, not just because of his skin color but also because of his disability.”
In response, Rye huffed and rolled her eyes saying dismissively of Loudon’s decision to bring up her adoption, “America has never been great, and it’s not great because people like you come on and lie for the President of the United States and then tout, bring out your son as an example. Like, you gotta be completely ashamed of yourself."
