(Before It's News)

Despite Donald Trump’s claims to the contrary, the billionaire lobbied hard for casino gambling during former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s time in office according to reports. Further, Trump’s debate night comments linking vaccines and autism go against current research that disproved any link.

During Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate, Bush cited Trump as an example of a special interest he faced while governor.

“The one guy that had some special interests that I know of that tried to get me to change my views on something — that was generous and gave me money — was Donald Trump. He wanted casino gambling in Florida,” said Bush, who was opposed to casinos.

“I didn’t. … Totally false….” Trump replied.

Reports from the 1990s support Bush.

Trump donated $50,000 to Bush’s 1998 campaign and held a $500-per-person fundraiser for Bush while also trying to change Florida’s gambling laws, CNN has reported. CBS News reported that Trump allied himself with the Seminole Tribe of Florida to increase gambling, including casinos.

On Wednesday, Trump implied that he did not press vigorously for casinos. CBS, citing a 2013 Miami Herald report, quoted Trump as saying, “If Miami doesn’t do casinos, that would be a terrible mistake.”

Trump said Wednesday night that changes needed to be made in vaccinations.

“I’m in favor of vaccines, do them over a longer period of time, same amount, but just in little sections and I think you’re going to see a big impact on autism,” he said. He added that a child of one of his employees “went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.”

The response was sharp.

“Despite a wealth of scientific evidence debunking any link between autism and vaccinations, tonight’s Republican primary debate featured prominent commentary from a leading candidate repeating inaccurate information suggesting a link,” the Autistic Self Advocacy Network said in a statement issued Wednesday night. “Autism is not caused by vaccines — and Autistic Americans deserve better than a political rhetoric that suggests that we would be better off dead than disabled.”

A 2010 study that linked vaccines and autism was later debunked.

  • Read the insert that comes in the box with the vaccines, even says on there “may cause death” and then lists other side effects and damage and of course vaccine makers are not liable thanks to lobbied laws to make vaccine makers immune from any lawsuits.
    Todays vaccines are not the vaccines you think they are, and some small kid injected with different types of strains will do something to their frail bodies especially at such a young age as 12 hours after being born. Big Pharma has big money and power to hide and pay off liberal news sources.

    Eat More GMO :mad:

    • May cause death? Phew! At least it’s not prolonged erections, or anal leakage… That would really suck.
