Why isn’t the White House watching the Planned Parenthood videos?

The country is outraged about the undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the body parts of preborn babies, some of whom even gleefully exclaiming over the remains as they point out details about babies that had just been killed.

While more and more states are opening investigations and even defunding Planned Parenthood, as these videos show the abortion giant engaging in illegal behavior, the White House is apparently not all that concerned about it; President Obama couldn’t even be bothered to watch the videos.

While many in the mainstream media are taking their orders from Planned Parenthood in how to report on this scandal, at least one journalist is doing the right thing and speaking out. Jake Tapper, an anchor at CNN, is not only reporting on the videos, but he’s also calling out the Obama administration, strongly suggesting that the administration might need to watch the videos.

LifeNews.com reports:

Yesterday, CNN anchor Jack Tapper asked Earnest, “There’s nothing in these tapes that bothers you or anyone in the White House?” Of course, Earnest didn’t answer the question and simply reiterated that the videos were “highly edited” and not credible because the group that published them has an agenda to “distort the position and the policies of Planned Parenthood.” He also said for the second time that he has not actually watched the videos.

Tapper responded, “The whole video is put up on the website of this anti-abortion group that put them out. You don’t have to watch just the edited version. You can watch the whole version.” To which Earnest replied: “I’m relying on news reports that I’ve seen on people who’ve taken a look at this and raised questions about the videos themselves and there’s no doubt that this is an organization that has targeted Planned Parenthood for some time so they clearly have an ideological ax to grind.”

Then Earnest goes on to say that Planned Parenthood provides regular health care for millions of Americans and does not use federal funds to perform abortions. However, Tapper didn’t buy his response and gave Earnest a great suggestion. He said, “Well, somebody at the White House should maybe watch the videos in full.”

Why is it that no one in the White House is willing to watch videos of a taxpayer-funded organization purportedly engaging in illegal activities? Is it because they’re getting their talking points straight from Planned Parenthood itself? Or maybe because they’ve contracted with the fetal organ supplier tied to Planned Parenthood? Either way, the White House has no business defending Planned Parenthood in this scandal if they can’t even be bothered to watch the videos.

Of course, Obama is the most pro-abortion president in this country’s history, and has responded to evidence of lawlessness at Planned Parenthood by thanking them for all they do… you know, like ripping babies apart piece by piece and then selling off their body parts, in addition to their numerous other horrific law-breaking activities. If Obama doesn’t mind that Planned Parenthood is willing to cover up the sexual abuse and human trafficking of children, then why should he care if they’re getting some extra money from selling the body parts of preborn children killed in their abortion mills?

    Two words: fear and dishonesty. Add conspiracy for a third option, if you prefer.

  • Basset_Hound

    Because everybody who’s anybody at the White House is probably stumping to raise money for them. Next question.

  • want to force white house to watch videos? if enough people sign this petition, white house must respond. be sure to share this link!! https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/watch-planned-parenthood-sting-videos-produced-center-medical-progress

    Set up an outdoor theatre on the White House lawn and play the videos where all can see them. Then they’ll have no excuse

  • Hmmmmm

    This goes to show you just how POWERFUL an EMPIRE Planned Parenthood has become. They have the mainstream media, the White House, a lame judge, and all these ignorant elitist attitude little puppet followers covering for them. It’s so crazy if you really look at what’s going on here. It’s pretty damn crazy it’s scary. Hours and hours of video right in front of their faces showing little hands and feet and eyes butchered up and they play the “right wing extremists” card? UNBELIEVABLE. This is some really scary stuff that a “Non-profit” organization has this much power. Wake up folks. Something needs to be done. Little human beings are being slaughter at this moment and Cecile Richards and the President and all those dumb celebrities who think they are so well-balanced and enlightened (yeah right) all defend that by calling us extremists. That is some backward sh*t right there.

  • Hmmmmm

    They don’t want to see the videos. Even if you tied them to a chair, put their head in a contraption that will force them to look forward toward the TV screen as you play the video, they will close their eyes to it. Then if you use a gadget that will force their eyelids open, they will still just look up, down, to the left and to the right. They don’t want to watch it. The sick thing about it all is that if you are going through this much $ and effort to keep the public from seeing what’s on those videos, you then KNOW that you are doing something horrendous. The President KNOWS, Planned Parenthood and Cecile Richards KNOW that they are committing a horrendous, disgusting, EVIL crime. THAT is pure evil to its core.

    Here’s the problem with a good majority of PP followers (the average person who falls for rhetoric), liberals truly believe that they are and always have been on the right side of history when it comes to protecting human rights. They cannot fathom the thought that they just might be on the wrong side and have been for 40-plus years. They cannot fathom the thought that not only have they been duped into being on the wrong side of history for all these years, but they — “the enlightened ones” — have believed in a side of history that IS the most deplorable and hideous EVER committed against humanity in the HISTORY of the world. They won’t look at the videos, because they will see how disgusting they and their beliefs truly are. Liberals/Democrats are the most closed-minded people I know.

    I’m not religious, I believe in a higher power for sure and respect all religions who are based on love and peace, and the liberals continually mock people who are Christian, but the irony of that is that I see clearly how these so-called “enlightened” liberals clearly have made the Democratic Party a God of its own. They will not stray from the almighty Democratic LIberalism they preach and shove down our throats. They are loud, arrogant, annoying, elitist, and bold because they have the mainstream media behind it to display them in a positive light, while conservatives are timid and afraid to speak out boldly because they will be made out to be “right-wing extremists,” racists, etc., etc.

    A lot of the leaders (politicians, religious leaders, etc.) shy away and are not bold in their beliefs. This makes those of us who are not leaders, even more timid because we don’t have our leaders being strong and speaking boldly against this horrific crime against the unborn. They don’t have our backs, but what is refreshing about these Presidential candidates running (specifically the younger ones like Cruz, Rubio and Walker) is that they have this attitude of no-fear. I also love Carly Fiorina’s boldness. It seems like they are tired of being timid and afraid the way the older generation of conservatives have been for many, many years. They are not going to back down in their beliefs. We need boldness from head to toe and it’s great to watch this new toughness from the younger generation of conservatives. Can’t wait for this new generation to take out the older, more timid conservative politicians afraid of the mainstream media. #lifewins

      Totally agree.

    • Vueiy

      What’s sad is…some could sit there and watch the videos, even watch an actual abortion being performed and STILL FEEL NOTHING.

  • DailyAlice

    An “administration” can’t watch a video. But you can bet that some member of the staff has done so. Why do we fuss over such silly questions?

  • billpayor

    The government give PP $5000,000 a year, how much does PP give our politicians??

    • da bear

      Sorry but you need to add two more zeros.

      • billpayor

        LOl, trying to type on my phone!

        • da bear

          I understand totally.

  • unicorn 64

    Because if they don’t see the evil it doesn’t exist. The white house doesn’t care. They are trying to figure how to make money from it. It is all about the almighty buck. Wars are fought for money and governments try to set up prostitution to make money for themselves. I would bet the sex trafficing is actually making money for the white house.

    The way Josh Earnst is spinning this issue to blame the messenger for the message only proves that Obama prefers to ignore or suppress the truth, has a blatant disregard for the law and is in bed with PP (things I already knew). Obama had NO PROBLEM citing Mitt Romney’s 47% quote last election in his stump speeches. Bet he had a strong reaction to the televised video snippet of Rodney King beating by cops, only a few seconds long. News outlets splice and dice video clips ALL the time to keep info concise. Law enforcement and media use covert means of gathering intel often– and what of the Earnt’s quote that PP “offers health care to millions of people”. That’s like saying a suspected serial rapist/killer should be let off the hook and not investigated because they are a good father, Cub Scout leader, church deacon and hard working CEO. Who cares of all the “good” they did–are they guilty of the felonies or not?

      Almost ENTIRELY Democrat. Gee; what a surprise.

  • hilaryLiedAmericansDIED

    Because the misogynist&racist, pro-abort giant, planned”parent”in the white hoods, is about to meet its own death{&bringing the entire pro-abort agenda with it}.

  • KG

    Edited videos or not, it should raise concern!

  • It’s obvious that the White House views the Iran deal as more important than the possible trafficking of fetal organs by Planned Parenthood. WH strategy is just like the 5 D’s in Dodgeball. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge…they love to ignore, deny, and deflect what PP is doing even when it involves American people’s tax dollars.

    “Look, I still support my dentist. I mean, yeah, sure, he’ll bump off a few little old ladies for a few grand, but I haven’t had a cavity in years! Plus, he totally uses their leftover parts for the good of mankind.”

    It’s pathetic how many people continue to defend this chop shop, despite it obvious barbarism. Even some pro-aborts are disgusted with this (thankfully, some are starting to realize the unborn really ARE people after all)! Well, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil…
