Eleanor Clift, on Saturday’s McLaughlin Group, attacked GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina for playing “fast and loose” on the facts around those Planned Parenthood videos.
The Daily Beast blogger became the latest liberal to deny the reality of the horror of those videos as she inaccurately claimed Fiorina was wrong, at last week’s GOP debate, to imply that Planned Parenthood is “harvesting and selling baby parts” and added “that doesn’t bear out with the facts and I think it’s really offensive.”
As Newsbusters and The Federalist’s Molly Hemmingway have pointed out, Fiorina was entirely justified in her Planned Parenthood comments.
Later on in the show, Clift slammed Fiorina for her national security stance as she railed: “And Carly Fiorina is totally crazy, the way she, when she talks about inflating the defense budget.”
Hmm, maybe Clift is just getting nervous that there is a female candidate on the GOP side that is currently outshining Hillary Clinton?
The following Clift rant was aired on the September 19 edition of the syndicated McLaughlin Group:
ELEANOR CLIFT: Yeah, on debating points she stood out. She, really I think has introduced herself to the country. She’s gone far beyond the Republican base. She played real fast and loose, though, with the facts around Planned Parenthood and I think she’s really is overreaching in the criticism she’s making of an organization that millions of women in this country have gotten services from. And to imply that they are selling and harvesting and selling baby parts - that doesn’t bear out with the facts and I think it’s really offensive.
