On Super Tuesday, after winning seven states, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump made it a point to praise the corrupt, Hillary Clinton-backing abortion mill that is Planned Parenthood—something Mr. Trump has done repeatedly—during his victory-like press conference.
Speaking to a reporter, the real estate mogul suggested that he is “just doing what’s right” when it comes to applauding Planned Parenthood.
Trump, again, claimed that the abortion corporation does “very good work” for “millions of women.”
“Look, Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many — for millions of women,” stated Trump, without hesitation.
When Trump previously celebrated Planned Parenthood during a Republican presidential debate, the corporation’s president, Cecile Richards agreed with Trump in national TV interview post-debate, and even thanked Trump for his “kind words.” It’s near impossible to recall a time when President Cecile Richards ever thanked a Republican presidential candidate for “kind words,” or anything, for that matter.
Trump then smacked pro-life conservatives who disagree with his stance on Planned Parenthood, calling them “so-called conservatives.”
“And I’ll say it, and I know a lot of the so-called conservatives, they say that’s really … cause I’m a conservative, but I’m a common-sense conservative,” Trump stated.
The frontrunner then fell back on his claim that he will not fund Planned Parenthood if he reigns in the White House “as long as you have the abortion going on.” He then quickly added, like a true pro-lifer would, that “millions of people — and I’ve had thousands of letters from women — that have been helped” by the corporation which preforms well-over 300,000 abortions per year.
“And this wasn’t a set-up. This was women writing letters. But I’m going to be really good for women, I’m going to be good for women’s health issues, it’s very important to me. Very important to me,” he doubled-down.
Mr. Trump has been increasingly unclear on his “so-called” pro-life position. He has backpedaled on his original stance: Planned Parenthood would not be defunded under a President Trump. He has since morphed into a candidate who continuously praises Planned Parenthood’s “very good work” while being “very much against abortion,” claiming to defund the government-funded entity if they continue to perform abortions.
“Look, Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many — for millions of women.”
Donald Trump, Championing Planned Parenthood again
Defying all rational thought, he largely leads with Evangelical voters and has also picked-up the endorsement of Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.
As you can see, with Trump, up is down and left is right.
