Monday’s New Day on CNN saw a continuation of the program’s defense of Planned Parenthood from its video scandal and the efforts in Congress to defund the abortion provider as co-host Chris Cuomo sparred with Republican Congresswoman Diane Black (Tenn.) about the “rush to defund” them over that he claimed “has long been legal and is certainly not cause for outrage or at least hasn't been until now.”

Concerning the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), Cuomo contended that “[t]hose videos have been maligned by both sides as being selectively edited and showing something that is legal and a ongoing practice” and asked Black if she thought “that those videos are taken out of context.”
