On Sunday’s Meet the Press, MSNBC’s/NBC’s Andrea Mitchell pushed racial and feminists’ agitation during an interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price regarding the American Health Care Act (AHCA).
Mitchell lamented what she described as too many white male Republican politicians in the White House’s Rose Garden during a celebratory event following the House’s passage of the AHCA.
“Well, let’s talk about women. I mean, when we looked at the Rose Garden and the celebration of this on Thursday, they were mostly all men and white men at that. There was no diversity there. Women’s health issues arguably are going to be disproportionately affected.
Take a look at this. Obamacare includes maternity and newborn care, preventative care, mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, birth control, all of this under the essential package, no longer required under this House bill.”
Earlier in the show, Mitchell interchangeably used the terms “health insurance” and “health care,” as if the two are synonyms.
At no point did Mitchell inquire about shortcomings of government-driven wealth redistribution efforts in order to afford welfare to persons seeking health care with “pre-existing conditions.”
Mitchell presents herself as a politically objective and non-partisan news media personality. MSNBC likewise presents itself as a politically objective and non-partisan news media outlet.
