BOSTON — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is continuing to ramp up her efforts to discredit a pending Donald Trump presidency, telling reporters after Friday's New England Women's Policy Conference that his victory last week "is not just a stain on the election," but rather a development that Americans should view with fear.
"When Donald Trump brings Steve Bannon into the White House, a man who is embraced by the KKK, a man who is a white supremacist, then Donald Trump is doubling-down on racism," Warren said, referencing Trump's naming of Breitbart News's executive chairman. "That's not what the rest of America is and we'll fight back."
(CNSNews.com) – When asked if the Republican House would pass legislation to prohibit any federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood as long as it performs abortions, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) did not directly answer the question, but said House Republicans had not changed their position on funding Planned Parenthood and cited a bill passed by the House earlier this session that would have repealed Obamacare and blocked funding for Planned Parenthood for one year.
CNSNews.com asked Ryan at his Thursday press conference: "President-elect Trump promised to defund 'Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions.' Will the Republican House pass legislation that prohibits any federal funds from going to any Planned Parenthood affiliate until Planned Parenthood stops doing abortions?"
