Shame on you, shame on all of you.
Shame on you killing babies.
You're a murderer.
Shame on you.
>> The country has many people grappling with unresolved trauma.
And Susan dilemmas,
a State Representatives from New Hampshire happens to be one of them.
She was responding to pro-choice demonstrators.
They triggered her like you wouldn't believe and so
since I don't think you'd believe it, I wanna show you, let's take a look.
>> Shame on you, I'm the one the murderer,
I murdered my own baby, shame on you, shame on all of you.
>> She mentioned how she murdered her own baby, and
she's referring to an abortion that she had in 1980, and so
since she clearly regrets that decision,
she's now projecting that onto everyone else and referring to people who
just want women to have control over their own bodies as murderers.
Now I have my own thoughts on this, I've taken deep breaths, so
I don't lose my mind, but before I get to my thoughts, Cenk why don't you jump in?
>> Yeah, so we see this in a lot of cases with the right wing.
It's constant projection and it's their own issues that they can't deal with,
and so then they put that hatred onto other people.
So we've shown you countless Republicans and right wingers who turned out
to be closeted, some of them, by the way, not closeted in terms of sexuality,
but they were child molesters like Dennis Hastert and others, and
then they bottle that up and then they project on others.
So, in fact, just yesterday with a story about QAnon,
the guys who started the Watkins family, and
it turns out they were running domain names with child porn in it, okay?
>> The mainstream Republican Party rallied around accused child molester,
Roy Moore in Alabama.
>> Yeah, and so since the Roy Moores of the world are child molesters,
they assume everyone else is.
And so she is taking her issues.
And by the way, if she just left it to herself,
we would actually have sympathy for her.
She obviously needs counseling.
She never got over it.
And that happens to some folks, right?
And our hearts would go out to her, but instead she projects that onto others and
says, I now hate you.
I'm now calling you a murderer, for just trying to protect women's rights.
>> Yeah, that's exactly right.
Again, let me just note, most women who decide to
have an abortion, do not regret the decision.
In fact, when they're asked, how do you feel after the procedure,
the vast majority of them respond with relief.
>> Yeah, I saw a poll today, 95% do not regret the decision.
And we feel bad for the 5% who do, but that is their own personal issue, and
they say, well, since I felt bad about it, I wanna make sure that you don't even have
the right to make the decision that I made.
>> Now, later on the same day that she confronted the dozens of demonstrators who
triggered her so much, she released a statement saying, quote,
anyone who's had an abortion, or anyone who supports abortion in my eyes,
is a murderer or is pro-abortion pro-death, pro-ending the life of a baby.
Just because it's legal abortion doesn't mean that I did not kill another
human being and that's my stance.
That was what the yelling was about.
I raised my voice and tried to be loud to be heard by the chanting crowd.
Okay, so you can't project your self hatred onto other people.
Okay, you can't assume that your lived experience is the same or
will be the same for everyone else.
There are many women out there who might make the decision for
other reasons that you made the decision for.
There are people who have a different interpretation of when life begins.
So since we're being super arbitrary, life begins with sperm, sperm is life.
So every time a dude wakes up with a wet dream, he has committed mass murder.
You see how unhinged that sounds.
Now when I think of human life, I think of independent human life,
I think about a person, a baby, an actual baby that's viable outside the womb.
And those tend to be the children that your party neglects,
incessantly because you prioritize corporate donors and
corporate interests over funding social programs that would
actually help keep living breathing human beings alive.
We just went through, and are currently going through, by the way,
a pandemic that deals with a virus that's insanely contagious.
I would know I got the virus or
I got infected with coronavirus twice in two months.
But anyway, I tell you all that because we hit the one million mark.
One million Americans died from coronavirus.
That didn't need to be the case.
There are other countries that handled it way better than we did.
And it's the Republican party, the party that this woman subscribes to that
went out of its way to turn coronavirus into a culture war issue, to turn wearing
a mask into a culture war issue, to force children to go back to school,
to force teachers to go back to school, even before there was a vaccine for it.
I'm talking about before there was a vaccine for it.
Premature openings of businesses because politicians, especially politicians
in the Republican party were concerned about their stock portfolios.
So you wanna talk about human lives, you wanna talk about murder,
you wanna talk about death?
I'm willing to have that conversation, but not in regard to an embryo or a zygote or
something that's within a woman's uterus that is not an independent life and
is not viable outside the womb.
>> Yeah, so her husband, by the way is spending 87 months in prison because
he was part of the Cliven Bundy guys who did armed standoff against federal agents.
So threatening to kill federal agents, not a big deal, but having
reproductive rights around a zygote, apparently a huge deal regarding life.
So the hypocrisy never ends.
But my last point is this, listen to what she's saying.
She's saying I made a choice, and I don't like how that choice turned out.
So I would like to take that choice away from you.
Wait, what did your choice have to do with my choice?
That's like I went to a football game in Miami, it rained all day,
we had the worst seats in the house, I regretted it.
So I now think none of you should be allowed to go to a football game.
[LAUGH] That doesn't make any logical sense at all.
But they're the right wing.
They just don't care about logic.
They think, whatever applies to me, should apply to you.
You know what that is, that's authoritarian.
>> That's authoritarian.
But they'll turn around and they'll claim that you're an authoritarian if you think
that, let's say a company that you work at should have a vaccine mandate.
So, people don't get sick and die while they're working in close quarters.
When it comes to that issue, my body, my choice, individual liberty.
Even though spreading the virus could actually kill living
breathing independent human beings.
But that's just an inconvenient truth that they don't like to talk about, and
instead, love to talk about controlling women and their bodies.
