Former President Donald Trump focused his first public appearance after the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade on decrying Democratic activists who poured into the streets after a draft opinion for the case was leaked.
Speaking to supporters at one of his"Save America" rallies in Mendon, Illinois, Saturday evening, the former commander in chief celebrated the ruling as"a victory for the rule of law and, above all, a victory for life" and slammed protesters who demonstrated outside the homes of conservative justices.
The former president went on to condemn"attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh, the illegal intimidation of justices homes, and the radical Left's violent terrorist attacks on pro-life centers" as"a frontal assault on our republic." In his most notable comments, he condemned Democratic Party leadership for not focusing their own ire on the threats made against Supreme Court justices after the Dobbs draft was leaked in May. Instead, Trump argued, Democrats kept their focus on the Jan. 6 select committee hearings that began this month.
