“My kid had a bad birth, needed resuscitation, then spent a week in intensive care at Boston Children’s Hospital. They saved her life then saved her brain, which is what they do all day every day. And someone wants to bomb it to, you know, “save children,” wrote another user.”

Tonight there was a bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital – I'm not sure if MTG's tweet was in celebration of that, but her rhetoric is contributing to criminal behavior. (And worse: BCH doesn't gender reassignment surgery on minors.) https://t.co/WoCjiwvqox — -=(Len Pal)=- (@lenpal) August 31, 2022
