More political theatre by the devious MConnell. However, he did not even want to so this. He is backed into a corner on it by pressure from the public? Thanks to Cruz!

This is just another ruse by McConnell to pretend that he wants to defund PP. The only reasonable chance to do that was to attach it to the Highway Bill as an amendment as Cruz and others wanted. This has been in the works since at least July 24.

McConnell to fast-track bill to defund Planned Parenthood

Cruz didn't win this one since McConnell blocked Cruz's amendment and is 'fast tracking' this separate bill that has little chance of passage.

I did not know that. Thanks.
