Donald Trump was forced to formally come out in support of birth control on Tuesday, only a few hours after suggesting that restrictions on contraceptives should be left up to the states.
Trump took to Truth Social to clean up some of the mess Tuesday morning’s statements wrought.
“I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives,” wrote Trump. The former president blamed Democratic “MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION” for the confusion—though his previous comments certainly did not help clear things up.
