Trump and his GOP lackeys keep peddling this grotesque abortion lie
After displeasing his most fervent anti-abortion supporters by saying the six-week abortion ban in his home state of Florida is “too short,” Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reverted to spewing grotesque abortion lies—and his minions are following suit.
“The Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month,” Trump told Fox News less than 24 hours after saying he wasn’t sure if he would vote for Florida’s Amendment 4, a ballot measure which would prohibit abortion restrictions. “You know, some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth.”
That’s not a thing because “executing” babies—or anyone, for that matter—is totally against the law. And in case you think that this revolting lie was a one-time thing, Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski is here to disabuse you of that notion.
