Huffington Post is running a pretty hilarious story where Trump supporters are bitterly angry that the President-elect is planning to defund abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
Here’s their shouty headline:
Can you guess who might have run the focus group that discovered this shocking conclusion? Why it was Planned Parenthood!! LOL!!!
From the execrable Huffington Post:
If President-elect Donald Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, some of his supporters would be “surprised,” “frustrated,” “misdirected,” “disappointed in the democratic system,” and “pissed off as hell,” according to a series of focus groups commissioned by the family planning provider and conducted by an independent research group.
In focus groups in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin, Trump voters reacted candidly to the news that Republicans in Congress will try to pass a bill stripping the family planning provider of $400 million in Medicaid funds as early as January, and that Trump has said he would sign it.
“The guy I voted for, I’d be disappointed if he signed it,” said one middle-aged man in Milwaukee. “He’s making sure the Congress is on his side, but he doesn’t care about all us people who voted for him.”
Grrr.. they’re so angry!! They thought that the guy who kept telling everyone he was unequivocally pro-life was lying about it!!
In fact, it took SEVEN paragraphs before the idiots at Huffpo mention that the study was run by Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood conducted the focus groups with Trump voters who oppose the defunding effort to get a deeper understanding of how they might react to it.
And look at the wording – it’s almost as if they specifically sought out Trump voters “who oppose the defunding effort” instead of finding Trump voters and asking them if they’re against it.
I would really love to see an example of ANY organization, private or public, that published a study or focus group recommending they get defunded. That would be news.
Either way, Huffpo can self-abort.
