Yep, that’s basically it in a nutshell.
As Twitchy reported, petulant troll Harry Reid is leading Senate Democrats in filibustering a bill that would help victims of human trafficking. Why? Because the bill contains language prohibiting the use of public funds to pay for abortions. And according to the supposedly pro-life Harry Reid, that simply will not do. If human trafficking victims want any justice, that nasty Hyde amendment is gonna need to come out.
Allow Harry’s pal Dick Durbin to demonstrate how that’d work:
.@SenatorDurbin shows how easy it would be to pass human trafficking bill: just remove one sentence. https://t.co/AUFmM6hYDM

Or, you could, you know, just pass the bill now. Talk about easy!
@SenateDems stop human trafficking. Pass the legislation!

@SenateDems @SenatorReid @SenatorDurbin It's really simple to pass the bill as it is written…just vote YES. See, simple. #WakeUpAmerica

We hate to break it to you, Senate Dems, but while you’re busy with cutesy theatrics, you’re also flipping the bird at the very people you claim to want to fight for.
