CLAY: As the summer is starting to get closer and closer, Buck, the Democrats are turning up the heat. And what they’re recognizing, I think, is abortion isn’t going to be the Hail Mary that they thought it was. It’s not going to save them from electoral oblivion this November, and that’s because their abortion position is so extreme. And some of you out there are saying, “Hey, I’m not sure whether I’m seeing this yet.”

I’m telling you what you’re going to see is the argument that is already occurring, which is, “It’s not about Roe v. Wade. It’s that your contraception is in danger,” which is a lie. It’s that gay people in classrooms is in danger, what Joe Biden tried to argue, which is a lie. They are building extremism in because they’re recognizing that most people think, “Hey, abortion shouldn’t be legal in the seventh, eighth, or ninth month.”

And they’re trying to make Republicans seem like extremists. I gotta give credit here. There’s also an underlying element that I think is pretty substantial of abortion — let’s be honest — that’s actually racist. The eugenics movement that was much of the basis for abortion and Planned Parenthood back in the day, kind of jumped right into public view here during testimony in the Senate with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina who confronted Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on the issue of abortion. If you haven’t heard this audio yet, just listen.

This is quiet the counterpunch from Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

BUCK: Good moment for Senator Scott there.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: Really made the point powerfully, I think, for everybody to hear, which is that there’s something obtuse and evil in many of the arguments that are being made right now.

CLAY: And super racist.

BUCK: Super racist.

CLAY: Did you hear Janet Yellen there? This is one of the lines that I think George W. Bush got so right, Buck: “The soft bigotry of low expectations.” It was oozing out of her commentary there.

BUCK: I mean, people should know — and they don’t; by the way, this is not denied; this is not contended or contentious — the founder of Planned Parenthood was Margaret Sanger.

CLAY: Yep.

BUCK: An absolute eugenicist, believed in eugenics, believed in limiting what she deemed, quote, “undesirables” and spoke to the women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in New Jersey to generate support for her movement. She supported the Supreme Court’s 1927 the discussion, Buck v. Bell, which allowed for the sterilization of people who were deemed unfit, without their consent. She was a horrible human being. Okay?

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: And this is the founder of Planned Parenthood. She was a vile racist, and if you look, even on Planned Parenthood’s site, you’ll see this stuff, Clay. They’ve had to say, “Yeah, okay, she was an awful eugenicist, but she did so much to liberate women.” Does anyone else…? Just put this into context for a second, does anyone else in conversation in public discourse these days get that kind of, “Oh, but they actually did something we really like so we’ll forget that other stuff”?

CLAY: No. Of course not.

BUCK: Absolutely not. We’re supposed to remove busts of Thomas Jefferson but Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood…

CLAY: They did.

BUCK: And they do, right.

CLAY: In your own city.

BUCK: They did in New York City. That’s what I’m thinking of. And Margaret Sanger was a vile human being who believed in destroying undesirable babies. This is reality, folks. And they still celebrate her and her movement. It’s pretty outrageous and appalling when you actually look into the history.

CLAY: Speaking of which, by the way, I went to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., Buck. Did you see that they’re trying to strip George Washington’s name from George Washington University? There was an editorial in the Washington Post about it which is amazing, because is the Washington Post, therefore, calling for the removal of the word “Washington” in their newspaper name?

And remember, Buck, when everybody said Donald Trump was crazy when he said they’re not gonna stop with Confederate statues; if you’re gonna try to tear down the statues of Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson or James Longstreet or any of these Confederate generals, then eventually they’re gonna come for Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. All the left-wing libs were like, “Oh, Donald Trump is so out to lunch there. This is such a slippery-slope argument. There’s no way that’s gonna happen.” It’s happened.
