“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., says she’s running for president to make the big, bad lobbyists pay.
But the minute her campaign starts humming, she was caught not only hiring a big lobbyist… but one who works for a group that supported infanticide.

The Massachusetts senator has been on fire as former Vice President Joe Biden stumbles from gaffe to gaffe. She’s drawing huge crowds (for a Democrat) and even passed Biden as the frontrunner—and she’s trying to keep the momentum going by hiring campaign staff for next year’s primaries.
When it came time to hire the person to manage her ground campaign in the make-or-break swing state of Florida, she tapped a registered lobbyist.
Warren promised to “end lobbying as we know it,” and promised that “lobbyists won’t be able to take government jobs for 2 years after lobbying”–but she says she’ll make “limited exceptions” for “the national interest.”
Meet Exception Number One.
That would be Kimberly Diaz Scott, who took her new job as Florida State Director of Warren for President and leave her five-year stint as Director of Public Policy for the state chapter of Planned Parenthood.
That chapter has a checkered history supporting outright infanticide — the murder of babies born alive, outside the womb.

The Florida Association of Planned Parenthood Affiliates sent one of its lobbyists to oppose a state bill that would have required abortionists to care for babies who are accidentally born during the abortion process.
Planned Parenthood’s hired gun said the “abortion” should be allowed to go on—after the child’s alive and kicking!
“If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?” a lawmaker asked the group’s representative, Alisa Lapolt Snow.
“We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician,” Snow said.
In other words, let the infanticide begin.
A congressman asked, “What happens in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”

“You stated that a baby born alive on a table as a result of a botched abortion, that that decision should be left to the doctor and the family. Is that what you’re saying?” he asked during the 2013 hearing, unable to believe his ears.
She said one more time, “That decision should be between the patient and the health-care provider.”
Snow’s days were numbered… and that’s when Scott walked through the door.
She saw the media coverage and thought this was exactly the kind of organization she wanted to work for, so she signed on in December 2014.
It’s not so easy to know what she did, because the Florida Planned Parenthood PAC’s press release archive has been scrubbed — and so has everything written by her for that PAC.

But we know since 2014 the organization opposed state and federal legislation that says taxpayers shouldn’t fund abortionists, opposed a law saying parents should have to consent if minor girls want an abortion, and took part in the state’s anti-Trump Women’s March—headed up by anti-Semitic leftist Linda Sarsour.
Scott hated leaving her job but told her former employer she’s going to keep lobbying right inside the corruption-busing Warren campaign.
“I won’t be far from the movement,” Scott promised Planned Parenthood. “2020 is for us.”
Warren’s hypocrisy couldn’t be thicker. It’s not like other candidates already picked over the state’s political advisers; Warren is the first 2020 candidate to hire a state director in Florida. She wanted a bigtime lobbyist, and picked her over other qualified applicants.
Elizabeth Warren breaking her promise not to hire lobbyists should make people question her claim that, as soon as she walks into the Oval Office, she’s going to pry lobbyists’ fat, bejeweled fingers off the levers of power and give them back to you.
After all, Warren cashed in a cool $95,000 from registered lobbyists while she was running for Senate.

But it should also show just how extreme Warren is on abortion—something even her supporters admit.
The left-wing “Vox” website calls her abortion position “aggressive.”
She voted against bills that would protect babies born alive during abortions. (No wonder she hired Scott!)
She wants taxpayers to fund abortion up through the moment of birth, would have D.C. strike down every state restriction on third-trimester abortions, and wants Congress to pass a law that says even if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade that it still stands!
Most Americans think that’s extreme—but not her fellow Democrats.
Not one of them could name a limit on abortion they’d support.

Not a single Democrat candidate would condemn the blackface-wearing governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, who talked about letting a newborn baby die… especially Warren. When somebody asked her about infanticide on the campaign trail, she couldn’t change the subject fast enough.
Elizabeth Warren just blew the lid off the Democrats game: They’ll break their promises to you, but they’ll never break their promises to the abortion lobby.
Especially not when they’re all getting filthy rich.
