Watch This Congressman Get Absolutely Embarassed By Planned Parenthood Chief

The head of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, owns Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz while he is trying to shame her organization. More incredible lies about Planned Parenthood...

That chart looks like it was done by a 5th grader. If I brought something like that to a business meeting in my line of work I would be fired.

This is the sort of political argument that pisses me off to no end. Not only is that chart deceptive, it's _obviously_ deceptive to anyone who takes two seconds to study it. There's no way that Jason Chaffetz was unaware of this; he knew damn well that he was putting up a misleading chart, and he was clearly counting on nobody noticing. To me, this is perjury.

[mbblover]

why does this guy chaffetz always ALWAYS act like a bratty sarcastic 12 year old (no offense to 12 year olds!)?... i mean he's a grown man and a congressman! so what's up with the sarcastic facial expressions and flippant attitude? has he been watching too many movies of mean snotty self absorbed teenage girls or what?

[bonchbonch]

Even conservatives were embarrassed by this hearing. They were complaining online about the bumbling questioners.

[CourtneyHaynes]

Why do I have the feeling that this chart is going to pop up in my Facebook feed?

[jmmclaughlin]

Love this moment. That's one of the few times you get to see a verbal bitch-slap to someone in a position of authority. I just love how these senators and congressmen backpedal when they have NO counter to a factual claim. Like eating a steak that's cooked at the perfect preference.

[lordnuck]

Its kinda interesting that the politician was fact checked in real time and and called on it.This technology is a good thing at times.

Chaffetz quickly got a bad case of the 'mouth full of marbles' syndrome

The cancer screening arrow represents 1, 071, 798
while the Abortions arrow represents 37, 250
Seems legit that they should cross at the middle of the chart!

[maryelizabeth]

The chart only says what PP has made public knowledge. That cancer screening and preventative services were 2, 007, 371 in 2006 and 935, 573 in 2013. That abortions they performed were 289, 750 in 2006 and 327, 000 in 2013. Abortions went up and life saving services down. What does Planned Parenthood have wrong?

[ceschudeck]

That graph surely shows the math skills of a Liberty U graduate .. or a 10 years old home schooled kid with creationist parents.

[richfnrock]

This is an ambush technique and nothing more to try and make it seem like they are stumbling on the flurry of questions. They should be held to exact same standards they put onto everyone else.

[Lonnie]

This is the type of congressman you end up with when a constituency is lazy and stupid.

[raskal]

How can you prove cancer screenings and abortions are related?

[ryanoneil]

We need a national Y-axis day (and better public education).

[herethere]

Could u imagine that chart was actually real?? 😂
Perfect lines both way

[Lynnianaa]

How is 327, 000 above 935, 573 in the graph? ( o O ;)

Chaffetz: "I need to show this last slide. This one I don't understand."

I don't think any sane person can either.

[daovang]

25 people here can't read graphs. SMH.

[globalwarmhugs]

What a waste of everyone's time, these republican arguments are. How embarrassing for you Americans. I really feel for you.

[MatthewBorn]

Evidently, X and Y is only meant for chromosomes, not for graphs.
