Tuesday morning on CNN, Donald Trump expressed interest in keeping most taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. Later that evening, he defended the organization again in during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show by repeating the deeply dishonest talking point that abortion is a “small part” of what Planned Parenthood does:
When Hannity pointed out that funding for Planned Parenthood, an organization that annually performs more than 300,000 abortions, could subsidize abortionists, Trump suggested “maybe” Planned Parenthood should lose all of its funding. “Maybe unless they stop with the abortions, we don’t do the funding for the stuff that we want,” Trump said.
On Tuesday, the Daily Beast reported that “Trump is Planned Parenthood’s favorite Republican presidential candidate.”
