GOP Rep. Tom Emmer Manages To Be Both Racist And Sexist While Bashing Abortion Rights

Minnesota Republican Rep. Tom Emmer managed Sunday to alienate a vast swath of humanity with a jaw-dropping attack, calling abortion rights “Chinese genocide.”

He blasted Democrats on Fox News for voting to protect reproductive rights, which he referred to as the “Chinese genocide bill.”

Emmer falsely claimed the bill would have “allowed abortion up to moments before a child takes its first breath.”

In a 219-210 vote, the House voted in July to restore abortion rights nationwide after the Supreme Court threw out Roe v. Wade protections that had been in place for half a century. There was nothing in the bill about allowing abortions “up to moments” before a child’s first breath.
