Trump Ally: No Voting Rights For Women Using Free Birth Control & Welfare Recipients

Trump Ally: No Voting Rights For Women Using Free Birth Control & Welfare Recipients
SUBMITTED BY Miranda Blue on Tuesday, 8/30/2016 12:13 pm

Wayne Allyn Root, a Donald Trump admirer who often claims to be in frequent contact with the GOP candidate has led campaign rallies for him in Nevada, said yesterday that people who receive federal benefits such as Medicaid, welfare and food stamps should lose their right to vote, as should women who use “free contraception” under the Affordable Care Act.

Root’s plan would cut a large swath of Americans from the voter rolls: Roughly one in five Americans benefit from means-tested benefit programs, while 67 percent of women with private health insurance use copay-free contraception through the Affordable Care Act (which, by the way, is paid for by insurance companies, not by the federal government).

is about as close as you can get to describing the republican madness.

I'm sure the MSM will inform the American public on what kind of insane right wingers are backing Trump.
