OUTRAGE ERUPTS AFTER ARTIST USES AUTISM AS POLITICAL INSULT AT UWP MEETING

A social media video has ignited widespread outrage this week after an artist, performing at a United Workers Party (UWP) meeting, used autism as an insult toward Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre. The President of the Helen Association for Persons with Autism (HAPA) has condemned the incident, warning against the dangerous trend of using disabilities as political weapons.

Prime Minister Pierre also addressed the matter during a press conference on Monday.
