Pence Legislated Trump’s Sexist Attitudes and Anti-Women Policy Agenda

Pence tonight danced around coming clean on his and Trump’s anti-women agenda. But their record is clear. Trump apologist Mike Pence is billed as Donald’s “clean-up guy,” but the two are on the same page when it comes to substance — especially where Trump and Pence’s anti-women views and agenda are concerned.

In fact, when it comes to women’s issues, Mike Pence has actually legislated Donald Trump’s sexist rhetoric and anti-women policy positions.

In the 1990s, Pence said working women stunt their kids emotional growth; and while in Congress, Pence led the GOP charge on defunding Planned Parenthood. Mike Pence has been a hardline anti-choice opponent for decades, and he has no qualms about trumpeting his anti-women record.

Marco Rubio Thinks Trump’s “Wholly” Unfit To Be President — But Will Vote For Him & Likes His Policies

Marco Rubio knows who the real Donald Trump is — but he’s supporting him and speaking on his behalf tonight anyway. During the presidential primary, Rubio (quite correctly) implied that Trump is racist and called Trump a “con artist” who is “wholly unprepared to be president of the United States.” Even now, Rubio doesn’t believe Trump can be counted on to be a composed, mature leader — and he still doesn’t think Trump can be trusted with the nuclear codes.

Yet here’s Rubio, shilling for a man he once mocked for having small hands, wetting his pants, and being “orange.”

Why? Because Rubio can’t help himself — he likes Donald Trump’s policies.

Immigration: Marco Rubio‘s pledged to reverse DACA and DAPA and said, “We are going to have to deport some people.” Donald Trump has said he’d end DACA and DAPA and pledged to oversee the mass-deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Presumptive GOP Nominee Donald Trump Still Unfit To Be Commander In Chief

American Bridge President Jessica Mackler released the following statement on presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s wins tonight:

“Even as the GOP establishment has rallied behind Donald Trump over the last week, he’s continued to prove himself a danger to our country. Trump is as unfit as ever to be commander in chief and his candidacy continues to be a national embarrassment.”

Anti-Choice Extremist Ted Cruz Gets Bashful About His Support For Personhood Laws

At an MSNBC presidential town hall event, Ted Cruz today uncharacteristically clammed up about his extreme anti-choice views and policy positions — specifically, his support for so-called personhood legislation.

Cruz tried to hide his extreme record, but the truth of his hardline anti-choice views are well-documented: Cruz has a history of supporting personhood measures that would ban abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, and could even ban common forms of birth control.
