You may have thought you heard everything that Darren bailey had to say about
abortion.
>> If somebody were rape incest in the family,
would you allow that woman to have an abortion?
>> Right now my answer is no.
>> But that's not all Darren Bailey has said.
>> The attempted extermination of the Jews of World War II, it doesn't even
compare in the shadow of the life that has been lost and with abortion.
>> Look, if you're listening to a Republican politician speak in anything
other than the most public setting, just wait, wait five seconds,
wait 30 seconds and the anti Semitism is just waiting to be released.
They can't help it.
It's how they feel and they want to say it, they're proud of these disgusting
views, disgusting views obviously about abortion about reproductive rights,
but also needlessly making it about the holocaust.
Like in the style of the internet, absolutely nobody was asking him
about the holocaust, but he had to make it about that.
He had to use millions of people being killed as
that ain't nothing get a load of abortion.
Now he would have you believe that if you were offended by that,
the problem is really with you, okay?
Now he put out a statement implying that he didn't mean what he seemed to mean.
The holocaust is a human tragedy without parallel,
he says except of course the parallel he made in the video we just showed you.
But he goes on to say in no way was I attempting to diminish the atrocities of
the holocaust and it stayed on history except again,
in the very specific way he just did.
I meant to emphasize the tragedy of millions of babies being lost,
I support and I've met with many people in the Jewish community in Illinois and
look forward to continuing to work with them, to make Illinois a safer and
more affordable place for everyone.
Well, here's the thing, that thing that he just said about, I've met with many
people in the community I just offended, is often thrown out there as a, hey, hey,
hey, don't worry, I'm not a bad guy, look at me, I've spent time with this group.
As if that's all the work that you need to do.
Here's the problem with that theory.
You having met and worked with many Jewish people in community, didn't stop you from
comparing the holocaust to abortion in a way that makes light of the holocaust.
Apparently you needed to meet with a couple more people in Illinois.
You needed to work with them for a little bit longer,
because it didn't accomplish the goal that you would have us believe it was going to.
Jay, what do you make of this guy?
He's, by the way, he's the Republican nominee for governor in Illinois.
This ain't just state Senate or whatever.
>> Yeah, it's a pretty big deal and
I wonder how many people actually know who he is.
Again, it's just one particular state, but a governor of that state now,
the reason why guys like to say things like to bring up these comparisons to
holocaust is because they know that they're losing this argument.
They're losing this conversation,
they know that they're the least popular folks in the country for these stances,
these principles that they have that they don't actually really believe in,
because when push comes to shove her, when it comes to something that they need or
something that they would like to advocate for that makes their lives better.
Or maybe their mistress on the side or their wife who's got a pregnancy
that is gonna kill her or the baby isn't really gonna survive.
It's weird because then then they'll be down for all these types of things.
But in order to legislate, in order to get into office as a Republican,
you have to compare it to these drastic things because no one will listen to you
under normal circumstances because you're not making any sense whatsoever.
And by the way, there's one of the part about this,
because he talked about how he's pushing back on the criticism for him making that
comparison cause he's been around Jewish folks and he's worked with Jewish folks.
He's had meetings with him, how many meetings have you had with women who
experience things that would be necessary for them to get abortions?
How many mothers potentially have you experienced that
have had miscarriages that then had to get the their reproductive rights enacted so
that they can do something about it afterwards?
How much do you know, how many doctors?
How many OBGYN have you spoken to?
How many doctors that actually take care of these procedures have you spoken with
to ask how this works and why many women do it?
Or how about you just google search it because I haven't talked to these people.
But I looked it up and you can find out that it's not 16,18 year old loose girls
that just won't close their legs and they don't know what their responsibilities
are because that's this perception that they're pushing on folks.
So if you're gonna talk about how you've been talking to Jewish folks and
now that's why you're all cool with them.
How about you talk to the people that you're affecting about trying to take away
their rights and then comparing it to the Holocaust?
He won't do that though,
because they don't have to actually air on the side of normalcy and reality.
>> Yeah, no he's not a fan of that.
We're gonna return in just a second to him being awful.
But let's make clear we need to add some context.
He's not the only person in this who is awful now he won the primary fight?
There was a more moderate Republican running against him?
Do you know who the Dems for
some reason ran ads to support that guy, Darren Bailey?
They tried to get him to be the nominee.
The guy who has some interesting thoughts about the holocaust,
the guy who by the way,
told people two hours after the highland park shooting to move on, come on,
it's been 120 odd minutes people, can we get on with our lives?
That guy could be governor of Illinois, Democrats helped get him in that position.
Now, they would say that they're playing 13 dimensional chess and your dum dums
don't understand that this guy is gonna be so much easier to beat that's why we
put millions of dollars into getting him to be the nominee and maybe they're right.
Maybe I am a dumb dumb, but it seems like a dangerous gamble when you pretend to be
opposed to these people and you spend your hard earned money,
money that could be going to support actual Democratic candidates.
Progressives trying to make the Democratic Party more representative in
a number of different ways.
They don't often have the money for that,
but they do have the money to support people like him and others.
There was a guy Gibbs who won last night there, supporting him too,
this is going to be a fun little gamble come November because they
would say we need this as a boost to beat these extremists?
Okay, take a look at the way that they've governed,
how little they've done to change the conditions on the ground for the campaign.
Do you think that they're gonna take it seriously the next few months?
Maybe that's another fun gamble, but maybe not.
Maybe they will accomplish literally nothing and maybe they will give
Darren Bailey the best chance possible of getting elected, that's my fear.
>> Back to more, we talk about how Republicans don't have much of policy or
principles or agenda to sell to American people outside of these random culture
wars that they've been pushing over and over and over and over again.
But also to highlight how much Democrats also don't wanna talk about what they
would do for the American people.
They'll mention every once in a while and say yeah we'll do that.
But what you guys really need to know is look how crazy our opponents
are already showing us bro, they've got airtime.
They've got Fox news used to have OAN.
Newsmax and Parlor and and truth social,
they've got all those to spew their ridiculousness.
Just you can highlight it, but to promote them and
waste that money on that rather than talking about what you're gonna do for
the American people or the people who may vote for you have at it?
How did that work out when Hillary Clinton was run up against Donald Trump and
we wanted to make sure we talked about the things that Donald Trump said and did,
how'd that work out?
>> That was a fun gamble.
Wait, we went bust.
Yeah, so fun.
Just move on everyone, move on, so we made the holocaust and just move on.
That's how you seriously address people's concerns about the terrible
things you say.
I don't understand these people, and yet they become the nominee.
Me and Jay are all we've literally done with our life is like, I don't know,
try to nudge the country in a slightly better direction, would have no chance.
That guy is a swamp monster in the metaphoric and literal sense and
he's the nominee.
He's gonna raise millions and millions of dollars.
