Trump Slams Ally Sen. Lindsey Graham For Criticizing His New Abortion Position: ‘Democrats Are Thrilled With Lindsey’

Former President Donald Trump attacked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) for criticizing his abortion policy announcement, shifting his position by saying that states should choose their own abortion policies.

“Many people have asked me what my position on abortion rights is, especially since I was probably the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides, wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended – Roe v. Wade,” Trump stated in a video that he posted on Truth Social.

“It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because the support abortion up to – and even beyond – the ninth month,” the former president falsely claimed.

“The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth – and that’s exactly what it is; the baby is born, the baby is executed after birth – is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that,” Trump then argued.

“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 – and whenever they decide must be the law of the land, [or] in this case, the law of the state,” he stated.

Trump mentioned that many states will differ in terms of “the number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”

“At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people,” he said.

Democrats ridiculed Trump’s effort to regulate abortion, saying that he is only pretending to be against a nationwide ban.

Graham also criticized Trump in an X post. 

“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” the senator wrote. “Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally, and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child – not geography.”

Trump went to Truth Social three times to condemn Graham for his comments. 

“Senator Lindsey Graham should spend more time focusing on all of the many people being killed because of our now non-existent Border, and the millions of people dying in senseless, never-ending Wars that he constantly favors and promotes, and should spend less time on taking away our Great Roe v. Wade Victory of sending a complicated and controversial Issue back to the States where, according to Highly Respected Legal Scholars on both sides, it belongs,” he wrote.

“The Democrats are thrilled with Lindsey, because they want this Issue to simmer for as long a period of time as possible,” he continued. “They are destroying our Country, and they don’t want to talk about Inflation, a Bad Economy, the Horrible Open Border, Rigged Elections, Afghanistan, Ukraine/Russia, or the Attack on Israel, all of which would never have happened if I were president. Great job Lindsey!”

“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” Trump said in another post. “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, but what he doesn’t understand, or perhaps he does, is the Radical Left Democrats, who are destroying our Country, will never approve anything that he or the Republicans want. They love this Issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so.”

“Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties,” Trump mentioned. “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…”

In January, it was revealed in a new book that Graham had thrown Trump “under the bus” during his testimony before a grand jury in the Georgia election fraud case.

The senator reportedly said that the former president would believe that “Martians came and stole the election from him back in 2020.

In early April, Trump was slammed on social media for spending Easter manically attacking his political rivals in 71 posts on Truth Social.
