Critics call for boycott over Savage autism rant
CNN’s Alina Cho interviewed parents and advocates for autistic children who want Michael Savage fired or boycotted for remarks he made on his radio show. Savage had said that autism was “A fraud, a racket. … In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out.”
