President Donald Trump caused a stir this week when he and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told pregnant women to avoid Tylenol. They said the common pain medicine is linked to autism. The claims have split doctors and worried top Republican leaders who think the government should not make such statements without solid proof.
According to The Hill, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he was very worried about what Trump said during a CNN interview Wednesday. “I’m obviously very concerned about that. I am a father and a grandfather and just have, as of about seven months ago, a newborn grandson,” Thune told Dana Bash. He made it clear this issue matters to him personally.
