The House GOP has been having hearings and giving speeches to defund Planned Parenthood because they bought into a video that has been shown to have been heavily and selectively edited to misrepresent Planned Parenthood as a dealer in dead baby parts, and they have refused to accept that.
Republicans in the House and Senate are even willing to shut down the government to get their way when it comes to Planned Parenthood.
But, even though House Republicans now have the unedited footage from the Planned Parenthood attack videos, they don’t want Democrats to have a close look at it for obvious reasons.
According to Representative Louise Slaughter of New York, as stated on the House floor during the legislative debate about funding for Planned Parenthood, “Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz has in his possession right now, a computer hard drive that contains videos produced by David Daleiden, the head of the group that tried to entrap Planned Parenthood.”
Chaffetz received a copy of the unedited video on September 25, but he has declined to share a copy with the Democrats.
He even continued with the hearings based on the edited video in spite of having the unedited one.
Democrats had subpoenaed Daleiden for his unedited footage, but Chaffetz will only allow them to sit and watch it in a “viewing room” without being able to take the time to analyze it.
Republicans have not yet hosted that screening.
Obviously, the GOP is afraid of something.
The truth, perhaps?
