Ivanka Trump under fire after claim she tried to 'bribe' Planned Parenthood to stop abortions

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ivanka-trump-fire-claim-tried-bribe-planned-parenthood-stop-abortions-104947398.html

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has leveled a strong accusation against Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. According to Richards’s new book — appropriately titled Make Trouble — the couple tried to “bribe” her by offering federal funding for Planned Parenthood if the organization agreed to stop offering abortions.

Richards says that the offer came during a January 2017 meeting, to which she brought husband Kirk Adams as a “witness.”

“The main issue, [Kushner] explained, was abortion,” Richards writes, according to an excerpt published by People. “If Planned Parenthood wanted to keep our federal funding, we would have to stop providing abortions. He described his ideal outcome: a national headline reading ‘Planned Parenthood Discontinues Abortion Services.’

“If it wasn’t crystal clear before, it was now,” Richard continues. “Jared and Ivanka were there for one reason: to deliver a political win. In their eyes, if they could stop Planned Parenthood from providing abortions, it would confirm their reputation as savvy dealmakers. It was surreal, essentially being asked to barter away women’s rights for more money. It takes a lot to get Kirk mad, but it looked like his head was about to explode.”

Blackmail...right up the Jarvanka ally. I bet half of the fucking moron and his spawn have had to have secret abortions themselves or a a result of their screwing around without protection.

They are dishonest and corrupt. They need to go, and reportedly quite a few of the WH staff agrees.

They think they know the price of everything, but can't imagine anything having value beyond any price.

Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

The Art of the Steal. You threaten and bribe to get the 'deal' done. And if it goes south, you get your heavies to apply pressure.

The Kushner's may look polished and sound perfectly civilized and articulate, but the rotten fruit doesn't fall far from the decaying tree.

No better than a mobster mentality but with the arrogance of the entitled.
