That’s a different issue. Both are true. Newt evaded the question and Bachmann demagogued her accusation.
He said he wasn’t willing to “purge” candidates over the issue. That makes him a big tent Republican but it doesn’t make him a supporter of partial-birth abortion. It is a disingenuous attack at best or shows the level of her critical thinking skills at worst. Why can’t she sell Michele Bachman instead of trash on first Perry, then Cain, then Newt?
