Speaker Paul Ryan Will Fund Planned Parenthood but NOT the Trump Border Wall

Republican leadership is looking to fund Planned Parenthood in their latest spending bill but not the Trump border wall.

Could these lawmakers be any more out of touch with their base?
CNS News reported:

When Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced he was running for president, he told all who listened to “mark” his words.

“I would do various things very quickly,” Trump said.

“I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare,” he said.

“I will build a great, great wall on our southern border,” he said. “And I will have Mexico pay for that wall…

…Congress faces an April 28 deadline to pass a new government funding bill.

There is currently no talk that it will include language to prohibit funding of Planned Parenthood.

But there is talk that it will not include the language that President Trump has requested to provide $1.4 billion to begin his project to build “a great, great wall on our southern border.”

The Republican House can pass and send to the Republican Senate a bill that funds the border wall but not Planned Parenthood. Or they can pass one that funds Planned Parenthood but not the border wall.

The former course of action would fulfill the campaign promises that got their president elected. The latter would appease congressional Democrats and the liberal press.

So, which will it be?
