What? Liberal Cher Sides With Trump, Pleads for Charlie Gard: ‘SEND HIM 2 US!!’
newsbusters ^ | July 5, 2015 | Katie Yoder

While singer Cher has vehemently attacked President Trump in the past, both she and the president are championing the same cause on Twitter: helping terminally-ill British baby Charlie Gard.

On Monday, Cher tweeted to her 3.36 million followers “INSTITUTIONS HAVE NO RIGHT 2FLIP SWITCH ON BELOVED [Charlie].IF [America] CAN SAVE PRECIOUS CHARLIE GARD…SEND HIM 2 US [!!]”

11-month-old Charlie could lose life support any day now due to the European Court of Human Rights’ decision “in Charlie’s best interests.” Shortly after his birth, Charlie was diagnosed with infantile-onset encephalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS). The rare genetic condition and brain damage has left Charlie deaf and blind, subject to seizures and unable to move his limbs or breathe on his own.

After his doctors suggested removing Charlie’s ventilator, parents Chris Gard and Connie Yates sought legal permission to bring their baby to the U.S. for experimental therapy. But court after court sided with Charlie’s doctors at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital. And, last week, the parents lost their final legal appeal, despite raising £1.3 million on a crowdfunding site to pay for Charlie’s treatment.

Form her account, Cher followed up with other tweets in support of little Charlie.

If His Parents Want 2 Take The Chance,They’ll Fight W/Their Last Breath 2Save Charlie,” she added. “God willing theres SOME good we,[America] can do. we can [pray].”

Cher continued to call for a “miracle” and prayers.

When Drs Say"Everything That can be done,Has been done",we still [pray] 4 a Miracle.Charlie's story is [heartbreaking]. All of [America] sends love to him &His Family.”

Cher’s tweets came just hours after President Donald Trump offered to help Charlie and his parents on Twitter – pushing the story into a national spotlight.

While the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life initially appeared to side with the courts, Pope Francis clarified Sunday that he stood with Charlie Gard and his parents.

President Trump, as many have said, is a master persuader. Things like this happen when you least expect it, like Lindsey Lohan yesterday.

If The Republic survives long enough to have honest histories written of this period, then despite all propaganda to the contrary, Donald Trump will be shown to be the most objectively moral man to inhabit the White House since Calvin Coolidge.

I guess you can’t comprehend the existence of natural law, or God.

Now if we could get Cher and all the libs to stand up for all the 'Charlies' alive in the womb.

Abortion is murder.

Maybe there’s some light still left in her after all. I’ve had my doubts.

“Western Civilization Is At Stake” is the theme from President Trump today and the United Kingdom’s leaders like Theresa May and Boris Johnson are very lacking in their refusal to defend the life of Charlie Gard.

It is what I was saying, this story is an opportunity. A fracture line in the libtards ranks. If we can use this story to get them to ask, “Just who does own this body I live in?” Then we have started the ball rolling on their Red Pill.

Exactly right. It's times like this to put politics aside, welcome people like Cher and Lindsey Lohan to the fold and show them our compassion and reverence for human life.

Winning them over starts here. Always has, always will.

I've looked and can't find a good link about this. Do you have one handy?
I'd like to post it on my Northern Sentinel FB page, it focuses on Western Civilization.

I believe Congress could make him a US citizen and then demand UK hand him over

All Cher’s statement proves is she is not completely evil.

I can see the government saying “We think there is nothing else we can do and so we are not going to pay for any more treatment”

But to tell the parents “AND YOU CAN’T EITHER” is the perfect example why you don’t want government health care.

This is probably just a momentary aberration... she probably still wants Government Health Care and can not see the irony.
