If Democrats and Progressives do it right, they will tag the Mike Pence interview to every Republican Presidential candidate. They are the American Taliban.
Chuck Todd allowed Mike Pence to tag himself as anti-woman
Chuck Todd typically gives Republicans a pass. To be sure, he was pretty soft on Pence, at least on the live portion of the interview; Pence had consulted former George HW Bush’s VP, Dan Quayle, about his ability to overturn the election. Pence had his foot in both camps. Ultimately, he did the right thing at the Capitol, but he weighed his options.
Chuck Todd was masterful in letting the former Vice President hang himself with a large percentage of the population. So what did Todd pull out of the former VP?
The former VP is adamant about his intent to ensure that abortion bans are national by passing state-by-state laws. Chuck asked the former VP if, as one who does not believe in invasive government if he supported the government forcing women to have a kid they do not want. The former VP did not jump onto the off-ramp Chuck Todd gave him. He did not budge. He would enforce the enslavement of women’s bodies.
Pence’s most dangerous statement was about affording a fetus constitutional rights. This would go beyond the abortion debate. That opens the door for criminalizing women or anyone causing any issues with the fetus.
This interview should be tagged on the backs of every Republican. Informational ads should be running throughout the country, cauterizing in the minds of Americans that Republicans want to take away all vestiges of their freedom. It is time for Democrats to learn the art of repetition.
