Dem Rep. Calls Pro-Life Black Woman, Star Parker, Ignorant

Dem Rep Calls Pro-Life Black Woman Ignorant (The Daily Caller)

Democratic Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen angrily lashed out at black conservative activist Star Parker this week because she testified against abortion during a congressional committee hearing.

...

Parker said she felt it was “disingenuous” to conflate social issues in impoverished communities with a perceived need for abortion, stating, “Abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community today.”

...

Cohen immediately snapped at Parker that he would “like to say that I am not disingenuous about anything I say about Medicaid, or Medicare … or SNAP programs.”

“And to suggest I’m disingenuous shows your ignorance or your absolute inability to deal with Congresspeople the way they should,” he yelled. “I believe in those issues and I think they’re proper, and to say I’m disingenuous is just wrong and I expect an apology.”
