Daily Wire host Michael Knowles complains about VP Kamala Harris discussing her visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic

Knowles: “It's generally been considered unbecoming for politicians to go and rejoice in the blood of innocent babies who are being sacrificed on the altar to demons and the false gods of liberal modernity, such as career and individualism and money”

Earlier this year, VP Kamala Harris visited a Planned Parenthood:

Vice President Kamala Harris went to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota on Thursday, the first time a sitting US president or vice president is believed to visit an abortion provider.

...

“The reason I’m here is because this is a health care crisis,” Harris said. “Part of this health care crisis is the clinics like this that have had to shut down and what that has meant to leave no options with any reasonable geographic area for so many women who need this essential care.”

Dr. Sarah Traxler, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood North Central States, joined the vice president during her remarks. Traxler highlighted the “historic” nature of Thursday’s visit in her prepared remarks, and she described the abortion landscape since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade as “difficult” and “dangerous.”

MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): The Biden-Harris administration, say what you will about them, they have made it easier to kill babies. They have encouraged people to kill babies, and some of their voters really like that fact. So, Kamala goes on Call Her Daddy and brags about being the first sitting vice president ever to visit a baby killing site.

...

KNOWLES: What does she mean by reproductive healthcare clinic? Does she mean she's the first sitting vice president ever to visit an obstetrician? I guess that's true. She's the first woman vice president, so I guess that's — but is that really what she's saying? For instance, would you say she's the first sitting vice president ever to visit a clinic at which obstetricians work, at which, people provide women's reproductive health care? No. Certainly not. Every single vice president's gone to one of those. They've gone to doctors' offices. They've gone to hospitals. So, what does she mean? Does she mean specifically that she's the first sitting vice president to go to a pregnancy center? Well, she hasn't gone to a pregnancy center. Her administration is trying to shut down pro-life pregnancy centers. She's saying that she's the first sitting vice president to visit the killing site for little babies, an abortion mill. And that is true. She is the first sitting vice president to do that.

There's a reason previous vice presidents haven't done that, because it's generally been considered unbecoming for politicians to go and rejoice in the blood of innocent babies who are being sacrificed on the altar to demons and the false gods of liberal modernity, such as career and individualism and money. Yeah — not to put it too bluntly, but, yeah, that's why previous vice presidents haven't done that, because it's considered disgraceful. And Kamala Harris knows it's disgraceful. That's why she has to use that euphemism. I'm the first sitting vice president who's ever visited a reproductive health care facility. Reproduction? It's the opposite of reproduction. The opposite of health. It's the opposite of care. It is a facility, I guess. They use the euphemism because they know that the reality is hideous and horrifying.
