The Liberal mainstream media appears to be showing its biased colors again as the Washington Post took aim at the National Rifle Association’s political donations following the recent mass shootings. Unfortunately for WaPo, trolling over 20 years of political contributions by the gun lobby pales in comparison to the huge sums Planned Parenthood has dumped into campaigns in an attempt to buoy its money-making abortion machine operations.
The WaPo’s “journalist” Kyle Griffin opened his marketing tweets by saying: “Since 1998, the NRA has donated $3,555,194 to current members of Congress. Find out here who has received donations.” He then added a click-bait link hoping to draw fire over the figure.
Unfortunately for the WaPo writer, Federalist co-founder Sean Davis countered that Planned Parenthood’s Congressional donations dwarfed the Rifle Association’s political contributions. He returned tweet by pointing out that: “A whopping $190,000/year spread out across 400+ races, huh? Planned Parenthood spent $38 million just last year.” That tally demonstrates that the abortion organizations doled out more than 10 times the NRA’s 20-year figure in just 12 months.
Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin apparently entered the social media fray by asserting some staggering statistics of her own. She posted a report outlining the astronomical political spending that occurs in the nation’s capital. Sean Davis picked up her numbers and rapid-fire tweeted accordingly.
“It takes a special brand of D.C. stupid to insinuate $3.5M over 20 years is GAME-CHANGING when last year’s candidates spent $6.8 BILLION,” he posted.
The WaPo tales appear to be yet another obvious attempt by Liberal scribes to press the gun control issue and take advantage of the nation’s sorrow. The initial story was launched in the aftermath of the Oct. 1 Harvest Music Festival massacre in Las Vegas and Nov. 5 Sutherland Springs church shooting. Rather than rally around grieving families and community members, WaPo and other so-called media outlets seized the moment to resurrect gun control arguments.
These anti-Second Amendment organizations have repeatedly rolled out their gun control field guide after nearly every mass shooting on American soil. The liberal outcries consistently leave out important facts such as the shooters being able to purchase firearms legally.
The Las Vegas shooter had a clean criminal record and every weapon he owned was done with background checks against some of the nation’s toughest gun laws. The Sutherland Springs killer would have been denied the ability to buy firearms had the laws in place been properly applied. He had a criminal record that would have barred him from gun purchases had bureaucrats followed through and enter the incidents into the appropriate criminal databases. The biased media even touted gun control after the radicalized couple in San Bernardino killed coworkers.
The inherent irony to WaPo’s latest attempt to disarm Americans in the name of saving lives is that they promote pro-choice agendas that snuff out the lives of unborn children. The vast majority of mainstream media reporters donate and support Democrats that have made expanding legalized abortion a cornerstone of their political platform. The deafening lack of media outrage is another in many reasons that Democrat-biased news organizations are seeing their ratings plummet.
Although the data varies, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Political Action Committee reported spending upwards of $30 million to support failed presidential candidate Clinton among other pro-abortion politicians. Even Planned Parenthood’s PAC director pointed out that the $30 million mark was “unprecedented” spending and more than doubled the last election cycle’s political funding output.
The Planned Parenthood’s Action Fund admitted that its estimated budgeting for the 2016 was slotted in as a hefty $20 million in 2015, but ramped up spending in what may have been an opportunity to maintain White House support and increase pro-abortion Democrats in Congress. All told, by Election Day, the abortion clinics’ political donations had exceeded $38 million.
While its true that the National Rifle Association and Planned Parenthood are not lobbying against one another in Washington, DC, the irony cannot be overlooked. Biased corporations such as WaPo pander to their liberal base by trolling out tired gun control arguments as clear opportunists. They tend to subvert or omit information that point to the fact that strict gun laws do not deter criminal behavior.
Chicago, a liberal stronghold with stringent gun laws, suffered more murders than New York City and Los Angeles combined in 2016. Contributing $3.5 million toward nationwide gun advocacy over 20 years is a drop in the bucket compared to other lobbies. Americans interested in self-defense and protecting their Second Amendment rights may want to give more so the NRA can hold that same level of political sway as abortion clinics.
