Rosie O'Donnell drew backlash from both sides of the political spectrum after she tweeted about President-elect Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son, Barron.

“Barron Trump Autistic? if so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic,” she wrote this week to her 917,000 Twitter followers. As of Friday, her tweet hasn’t been taken down. She also linked a video that suggests the boy has the developmental disorder.
