On Wednesday evening, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany commented on President Biden’s remarks at the CNN town hall event that evenin.
“Signing off with a final notable quote from Joe Biden during his town hall this evening: ‘Everyone knows I love kids better than people.’’’
Nine and a half hours later, CNN’s Jake Tapper responded to McEnany for her tweet, which he linked to the QAnon fringe conspiracy theory citing an anonymous “former WH colleague of McEnany’s.”
“This is 100% meant to stir up the qanon crowd. Awful,” Tapper tweeted.
Within the hour, McEnany fired back at Tapper, slamming him for using an anonymous source to try to ascertain what she was driving at in her original tweet.
“I tweeted this revealing, bizarre quote from Joe Biden that underscores his horrific pro-choice, anti-child policies that have dehumanized life (Mexico City policy, etc.) cc: @jaketapper your source should put her name on the record if she claims to know the intent of my tweets,” she wrote.
Within days of former President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, he reinstated the “Mexico City Policy” after Barack Obama had rescinded it in 2009. As explained by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Mexico City Policy (MCP) “requires foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to certify that they will not ‘perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning,’ using funds from any source (including non-U.S. funds), as a condition for receiving U.S. government global family planning assistance.”
The MCP was put in place by Ronald Reagan in 1984 in Mexico City during the second International Conference on Population. It was reversed by President Clinton in 1993, then reinstated by President Bush in 2001, then reversed once again by President Obama in 2009.
On January 28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive memorandum which stated simply, “The Presidential Memorandum of January 23, 2017 (The Mexico City Policy), is revoked.”
McEnany has a long history of being staunchly pro-life. In May 2019, she slammed the “inhumane abortion comments of 2020 Democrats,” citing the pro-abortion stances of Democratic presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar. “These are vulnerable, fully viable babies!” she said, ripping those who push for “no abortion restrictions at any stage of pregnancy.”
