Quote:Know What Makes Nebraskans Confrontational? Threaten to Take Away Their Obamacare!
Quote:But several questions got standing ovations. These included, “Why can’t we just have single payer?”, “Why must we de-fund Planned Parenthood?”, “Why did you vote for the mentally ill to have guns?” and “You have 5 daughters of your own. Would you leave them in the same room with your president?”
Fortenberry dodged them all. “Answer the question!!” was called out more than once by the highly frustrated attendees.
When pressed on the Planned Parenthood issue, Fortenberry would only insist that he would not ever approve funds for a health care service that provided abortions, period. This tired rhetorical ploy fooled no one and only served to rile up the audience even more. On the guns question, he maintained that his vote was necessary so some people would not be denied guns merely because they had sought treatment for mental health issues. In effect, he felt the rights of the few to own a gun were more important the rights of the many not to be shot.
