More absolutely predictable than ironic, it will not impact him and he has no love for the disability community. I imagine he has a ton of internalized ableism and believes himself as different from other disabled people. He has a long history of doing things like this, look up his tort reform work. As a wheelchair user I really hate that one of the most prominent wheelchair users in politics is this fuck.
Hey, at least he helps demonstrate that assholes come in all flavors.
I am both disgusted and very disgusted by this comment. High five!
