When his constituents calmed down enough for Flake to reply, he said, “I’m glad to hear of my privileged childhood,” and told Foxx that he was one of 11 children and paid for college on his own. Foxx replied, “Privilege comes in many forms.” And Flake agreed: “I’ve had a lot of advantages that others haven’t,” he said. “What I want is to make sure that everyone can realize the American Dream.” So Foxx asked, if Planned Parenthood helped her achieve her American Dream, why would Flake vote to defund it?
