Donald Trump slammed a key ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, over his latest abortion stance.
, one of his strongest allies on Capitol Hill, mere hours after the South Carolina senator said he disagreed with Trump’s latest
“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country. At first he wanted no Abortions under any circumstances, then he was up to 6 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, now he’s up to 15 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion,” Trumpit was up to individual states to determine how far to limit abortion access in the nearly two years since the Supreme Court overturned.
He’s previously called six-week abortion bans “terrible” and cautioned the GOP that abortion could cost the party key elections while bragging about appointing the Supreme Court justices that paved the way to strike down“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both,” Trump said. “And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state.
Graham was one of the loudest Republican lawmakers pushing for the GOP to embrace a 15-week national abortion ban. But Trump appears reticent to endorse a 15-week or 16-week ban after publishing the video abortion statement.“Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties,” Trump wrote.
The Biden campaign quickly jumped on Trump’s comments, releasing a statement condemning Trump, launching a new ad blaming Trump for the pain a Texan woman faced after being denied medical care due to a miscarriage, and hosting a press call with reporters, all on Monday.
