RNC Chairman Reince Priebus faced aggressive questioning by MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts over the “war on women” Democrats are accusing Republicans of waging.
Priebus repeatedly called it a “fiction” and refused to walk back his comments saying the “war on women” is as real as a “war on caterpillars.”
“I’m not going to walk back, I’ll double down on it,” he said. “This war of women is a fiction that the Democrats have created. The real war on women is the war that this president has put forward on the American people, by not following through on his promises. By having women portionately affected by the Obama economy.”
Roberts pressed Priebus on GOP-backed policies regarding family planning and abortion that would make it more difficult for women to obtain certain health services, to which he responded, “Our party believes in life for everybody.”
