Trump got in Dem’s face over abortion at private meeting: report
By Michael Burke - 02/13/19 08:29 PM EST

President Trump reportedly fumed at Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) last week at a private event before the National Prayer Breakfast, tearing into him over bills in New York and Virginia to extend abortion rights.

Politico, citing three sources, reported that Trump "leaned in close" to Coons during the exchange.

One person familiar with the interaction told Politico that Trump "was in his face about it" and described the president as "worked up."

“He saw a Democrat in the room, a Democrat who’s known to be a person of faith, and he was like, ‘Why aren't you speaking out about this?’” the person added.

A spokesman for Coons declined to comment to Politico.

It's really sad but, whether Coons is a decent person or not, and whether he is against baby killing or not, No democrat dares to speak against it.

That's where the dem party is right now.

Hell is the absence of God.

I normally don't weigh into these types of discussions.  But I have to totally disagree with that old sage.

OK, you can but it is true to me.

Okay. I still think you are wrong.  But I am tired.  I will revisit it with you at a later date.

Thinking and knowing are two totally different things.

If you knew anything you would just let it go and fight another day.

ONe school of thought is that "Hell" is the complete/ total presence of God. This belief is based on the fact that evil finds God, love, and truth so abhorrent that the closer they are to Him the more torturous that it is, until His total presence completely consumes them with pain and agony.

That's the sad truth. It's hard to find a Democrat, especially in Congress, who takes a public stance against abortion. Don't want to rock the boat - and face the Pelosi/Schumer wrath.

That’s because they don’t want to be the next Bart Stupak.

I can't believe that taking a stance against killing babies, the most innocent of creatures, is considered controversial. How morally bankrupt do you have to be to stand in favor of killing children?

Whoever would have thought we'd be arguing about letting men in the ladies' rest room? The world is cuckoo.

That's what is scary about it.  I cannot believe that there isn't a single democrat who doesn't abhor the evil of rampant abortion.  I can believe that there isn't a single democrat who dares to condemn it in public.
