NBC News reporter Dasha Burns rushed to defend the Democratic Party when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) argued that some Democrats support "infanticide."
In a wide-ranging interview, Burns asked DeSantis if, as president, he would veto legislation that bans abortion nationwide. She was trying to challenge DeSantis on whether he believes abortion is a states' rights issue.
"We will be a pro-life president and we will support pro-life policies," DeSantis responded.
"I would not allow what a lot of the left wants to do, which is to override pro-life protections throughout the country all the way up really until the moment of birth in some instances, which I think is infanticide," he continued.

That's when Burns interjected to defend Democrats.
"I've gotta push back on you — on that — because that's a misrepresentation of what's happening. I mean, 1.3% of abortions happen at 21 weeks or higher [sic]," she said. "There's no evidence of Democrats pushing for abortions up until—"
"But their view is that all the way up until that, there should not be any legal protections," DeSantis fired back.
"There is no indication of Democrats pushing for that," Burns claimed.
It's true that abortions rarely happen beyond fetal viability.
But it's not true, contrary to Burns' claims, that "there is no evidence" that Democrats support abortion beyond viability, or about 23-24 weeks gestation.
For example, Democrat Tim Ryan, who lost his U.S. Senate bid last year, refused to endorse any limit on abortion. According to Ryan, "You got to leave it up to the woman." Ryan, of course, doesn't represent every Democrat. But in a post-Roe v. Wade America, this is the most common Democratic talking point: a refusal to state at what point abortion should be illegal because that may be seen as enacting restrictions on women.
Perhaps that biggest argument against Burns' claim is the Democratic Party's renewed push to pass the Women's Health Reproduction Act after Roe.
The legislation not only would permit women to abort their unborn children before "fetal viability" for any reason, but it would allow doctors to perform abortions beyond fetal viability if they believe the "continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant patient’s life or health." The bill does not define "health," leaving open the possibility that doctors could legally perform late-term abortions because the pregnancy poses a "risk" to the mother's mental or social health.
The bill was reintroduced to Congress in March.

Hospitalized Or Not, Democrats Have A Plan For Fetterman
The same political partisans who pushed Fetterman over the election finish line are now doing their part to squeeze the most out of his feeble Senate seat.Fetterman's wife calls NBC reporter 'ablest,' says she should face 'consequences' for noting her husband's post-stroke issues: Audio
The wife of Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman has come out to defend her husband after one NBC reporter noted that he manifested "auditory processing issues" during a recent interview.
On Tuesday, John Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, sat down for an interview with Dasha Burns of NBC News. During the interview, Fetterman used closed captioning on a nearby computer screen so that he could understand the questions he was asked, an accommodation made for him because he suffered a serious stroke about five months ago. Despite the accommodation, he still seemed to struggle to communicate his thoughts during their discussion, though Fetterman insisted that doctors have said he has "no cognitive damage."
Following the interview, Burns claimed, "[I]n small talk before the interview, without captioning, it wasn’t clear he was understanding our conversation" and that "myself, my producer and our crew did find that small talk before that captioning was difficult because of those auditory processing issues."
Now Gisele Fetterman, Fetterman's wife, has taken aim at Burns for sharing those observations. Fetterman joined Molly Jong-Fast on the podcastFast Politics Pod and discussed her reaction to Burns and the interview.

"I don’t like saying 'rage' because I think that’s a really unhealthy feeling, and when you feel those things, it only harms yourself," Fetterman said to Jong-Fast. "But I just, you know, what a disservice that [Burns] did to not only my husband, but to anyone facing a disability and working through it."
Fetterman then went on offense, implying that Burns should face professional "consequences" for her "ablest" comments.
"I don’t know how there were not consequences, right?" she continued. "I mean, there are consequences for folks in these positions who are any of the -isms. I mean, she was ablest and that’s what she was in her interview.
"It was appalling to the entire disability community and, I think, to journalism," she added.
Fetterman then turned her sights on NBC News, saying that media outlets like it "have to take accountability" for instances of ableism, which she pronounced as "ably-ism." She also expressed hope that NBC and/or Burns will soon offer her family and the "disability community" an apology.
Despite the strong blowback from Mrs. Fetterman and from other networks, including the Associated Press, NBC News has defended Burns and her reporting. "Dasha is a widely respected beat reporter on the Pennsylvania Senate race and has provided in-depth reporting from the state for the better part of the last year," it said in a statement. "We stand behind her extensive coverage of all the important dimensions of this year’s Senate campaigns."
