In a striking display of political fortitude, former President Donald Trump delivered a scathing rebuke to Senator Lindsey Graham over his wavering stance on abortion policy. Trump’s unwavering commitment to conservative principles shone through as he took Graham to task for not holding the line on this critical issue.
Graham ignited this fiery exchange by challenging Trump’s assertion, made via his campaign’s official stance, that abortion should be determined by the states and suggested a 15-week ban. Despite Trump’s commendation of the Roe v. Wade reversal, he firmly believes in state sovereignty on the matter.
It’s no secret that Republicans have faced setbacks in abortion referendums since 2022, even in staunchly conservative areas like Kansas and Ohio. Meanwhile, President Biden has been relentless in misrepresenting Trump’s views, falsely accusing him of backing a comprehensive national ban on abortion.
Graham, whose loyalty to Trump has fluctuated despite previous endorsements, voiced his opposition publicly. “I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham stated. “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 wasted no time responding to Graham’s criticism with a post on Truth Social: “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” he wrote.
“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,” continued Trump. “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 pointed out how Republicans’ lack of unity on this front has cost them dearly at the polls when facing Democrats motivated by preserving abortion access at any cost. “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,” asserted Trump.
Biden’s administration has squandered millions on ads in swing states aiming at tarnishing Trump’s image by suggesting his support for an overarching ban—a gross misrepresentation of his actual position which underscores how essential it is for Republicans to maintain control over national elections.
