In a new statement, former President Trump responded to criticism from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and other conservatives regarding his stance on abortion. Trump chose not to express a clear position on federal legislation that would restrict the procedure.
In a comprehensive statement on Truth Social, Trump expressed his concern over Graham’s actions, stating that they were detrimental to the Republican Party and the nation as a whole.
“Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties. Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency.” Trump wrote.
“They love this Issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so,” he continued.
“Lindsey, Marjorie, and others fought for years, unsuccessfully, until I came along and got the job done. Then they were gone, never to be heard from again, until now. We cannot let our Country suffer any further damage by losing Elections on an issue that should always have been decided by the States, and now will be!” Trump added.
He further contended that those who openly support more stringent abortion regulations were engaging in political malpractice.
According to Trump, Democrats are unlikely to support any legislation that aligns with Graham’s stance on restricting abortion.
He also noted that Democrats have gained political advantage from the conservative movement to limit abortion access after Roe v. Wade.
In a recent video statement, President Trump claimed responsibility for the end of Roe and voiced his backing for specific exceptions, including cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk.
He made the case that Republicans must be able to secure victories in elections, pushing back against certain groups’ demands for him to support a nationwide ban and endorse a specific restriction.
