Not surprisingly, liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow led off the Tuesday edition of her eponymous show by opining on the House hearing featuring Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards and lamenting how “the whole Republican Party is more unified to try to destroy Planned Parenthood than they are unified on anything else” with their “demagoguery” that she determined worked out “very badly” for them.

Before turning to the developments on Tuesday at the United Nations for the bulk of her opening segment, Maddow teased an exclusive interview with Richards by sounding off on the hearing with the acknowledgment that the GOP “has waging war against Planned Parenthood, women’s health centers for years now” but recently “has intensified to the point where basically the whole Republican Party is more unified to try to destroy Planned Parenthood than they are unified on anything else.”
