NRA flak complains about public Planned Parenthood funding, forgets NRA conventions are subsidized






Dana Loesch, the National Rifle Association national spokesperson, is appalled and infuriated that Planned Parenthood’s political arm is part of a coalition planning to spend $30 million to help elect candidates who support abortion rights in the 2018 midterm elections, while its non-profit affiliate the Planned Parenthood Federation of America receives taxpayer reimbursements for providing medical care.

But while she falsely claimed that this unconnected funding amounts to “innocent American taxpayers who are being robbed,” she conveniently omitted the fact that her organization also has benefited from public subsidies as its own political arm has spent hundreds of millions on political advocacy.

“[Planned Parenthood] is a for-profit business,” Loesch incorrectly told Fox & Friends on Thursday, “and if they can afford to spent millions and millions of dollars on all of these Democrat [sic] politicians and buy influence in Washington, D.C., well then they can very much afford to operate without the indulgence of society’s forced tax funding.”

will believe the falsehood and not the truth. Once a story like this gets stuck in their tiny little minds, no amount of proof will make any difference in what they believe.

More proof the NRA is nothing but an arm of the radical right.
