Lies: MSNBC Propagandizes Women’s March Is ‘Message of Unity,’ Not ‘Hateful or Anti-Trump’

Yes, that headline does not contain a typo. All Saturday morning on MSNBC, the liberal cable network foolishly tried to convince viewers that the far-left, pro-abortion Women’s March would offer only “a message of unity” and not be “hateful or anti-Trump.”

This is just not true. As my colleague and MRC Culture writer Katie Yoder has repeatedly chronicled, women’s groups with pro-life beliefs were not only purged, but also informed that the official event platform “is pro-choice” and stated it would “look forward to marching on behalf of individuals who share the view that women deserve the right to make their own reproductive decisions.”

Just after 7:00 a.m. Eastern, reporter Cal Perry remarked near the National Mall that attendees have referred to themselves as “part of the Resistance” responding to “what they saw yesterday on TV with Donald Trump, giving sort of a dark inauguration speech.”

Perry must not have done his homework on what the Resistance stands for, but it’s entire focus is to stop the Trump administration and cause mass disruption. Nonetheless, he left that knowledge behind as he played the role of march publicist:

They’re here to send a message of unity, to send a message of women’s rights of course. This is the Women’s March, but to send a message of unity and to send a message that Democratic Party — certainly, the organizers would tell you this, the Democratic Party is not in as bad a shape as people say.

Covering the Chicago edition of the march, MSNBC editor Beth Fouhy repeated this misleading talking point that it’s not meant to be “negative” toward Trump:

Now, what the organizers are saying is they don’t want to be a negative rally. They don’t want it a hateful or anti-Trump. It’s really about activating, motivating women, getting them excited, getting them to run for office, getting them to stand up for their rights. We spoke to one of the main organizers yesterday about the rally and she insisted that this is really not about Donald Trump.

In the next hour, Perry spoke with an unidentified female attendee who told him that she simply “[w]e’re not about divisions between people” but “unity and acceptance of other peoples and acceptance of people’s differences.”

When Yoder inquired with a Women’s March representative about why Students for Life of America wouldn’t be included as a participating organization, they provided a statement all but denying they had ever received an application.
