mitchellreports Isn't it great that our president stated today that funding for Special Olympics would NOT be cut from his budget?

mitchellreports Someone disagrees with losing funding?!? Quick, grab a pen and paper to take notes📝 😴

mitchellreports Its proposed cuts. Nothing has passed. I'd it does, then you start in. Until then, dont add to the panic!

mitchellreports He probably should of not voted for womp womp

mitchellreports Shriver is kinder than I'd have been.

mitchellreports These cuts are shameful!!!!

mitchellreports I’m disgusted. This evil and divisive regime is taken away funds from the disabled and not giving up any of their personal luxuries.

mitchellreports I love how they ask Betsy how many this will effect, and she had no idea. She also didn’t know the number of families still separated the border when questioned. I ask, what does this dipshit actually know?

TomArnold mitchellreports Every department ordered to cut budgets just so trump can have his vanity wall. Come on America - you are better than this!

mitchellreports Maybe Mr Shriver needs to reduce his salary, they collect over a hundred million dollars a year from private donors

mitchellreports Special Olympics isn’t a federal program they’re private,if the Feds are into funding private programs I know a few that would like to apply

mitchellreports Race theory of the Nazis singled out many groups as ’undesirables’: Jews, Roma, black and mixed-race Germans, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and the mentally and physically disabled. Interesting.

mitchellreports Trump's tax cuts reaped MSNBC's parent Comcast $13,000,000,000, you'll never see that story on MSNBC.

mitchellreports We can see where the Republicans hearts lie, and it is not within them.

TomArnold mitchellreports I'm donating money to the Special Olympics on behalf of these fools to shame them. This is outrageous

TomArnold mitchellreports BoycottAmway

mitchellreports HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR DONALD TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS GIVING THAT TRILLION DOLLAR TAX BREAK TO THE RICH THEY WOULD BE CUTTING MONEY FROM PROGRAMS THEY MUST NOT WIN RE ELECTION IN 2020 IT WILL GET WORSE IF THEY DO REJECT TRUMP AND GOP IN 2020 SAVE YOUR COUNTRY FROM THE WORSE PRESIDENT

mitchellreports I find it just a bit coy that Trump hosted a group of special needs persons right before taking this action. Classic bait and switch. Totally dishonest. Quite frankly sad.

this isn't what America is. Vote these republicans out.also going after healthcare.shows republicans don't care abt ppl or country

now this administration is going after disabled kids.guess it wasn't enough after putting kids in cages.what horrible evil ppl

Betsy DeVos gets grilled in Congress over proposed elimination of Special Olympics fundingEducation Sec. DeVos struggled before a congressional subcommittee to defend at least $7,000,000,000 in proposed cuts to education programs, including eliminating all $18,000,000 in federal funding for the Special Olympics. It appears Sec Devos is using disabled children in a twisted way for 'her' political narrative. In her mind, you ignore the less fit and those able to help themselves. Kind of like thinning the herd or disposing of the sickly. IOWs, she would lock them in the basement? The frightening thing is she has four children. “Don’t use disabled kids to guilt me about taking money from disabled kids!” Is that how that goes?

Or pocket it in another instance, like trips and such How about private philanthropy picking up the tab on the various wars we are involved in instead? 'Are there no poorhouses?'
