Trump Humiliates Lindsey Graham With Epic Clap-Back

Former President Donald Trump hit back at Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) over his refusal to compromise on abortion policy.

Graham started the back-and-forth by responding to Trump’s statement on his campaign’s official abortion policy. While Trump praised the overturning of Roe V. Wade, he argued that abortion policy should be a state’s rights issue and endorsed the idea of a 15-week ban.

Republicans have lost a number of abortion referendums, even in traditionally red states like Kansas and Ohio, since 2022. President Biden has also been accusing Trump of endorsing a nationwide, outright ban on abortion.

Graham — who has always had a back-and-forth stance on Trump despite endorsing him — took to X to voice his disagreement with the former president. “I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham 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 soon responded to Graham’s post with a post of his own on Truth Social. “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” Trump 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,” the statement continued. “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 then pointed to the lack of electoral success Republicans have had when facing a Democrat base motivated by abortion. “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.

President Biden has spent millions of dollars on swing state ads accusing the former president of supporting a nationwide ban. Trump has argued that his stance on abortion is necessary for winning national elections.
