GOP governors who passed abortion bans hit Trump for calling restrictions ‘a terrible thing’
Staunchly anti-abortion Republican governors who have shepherded abortion restrictions in their states are piling on to Donald Trump for his recent comment labeling Florida’s six-week abortion ban “a terrible thing.”
“It’s never a ‘terrible thing’ to protect innocent life,” Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds posted Tuesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I’m proud of the fetal heartbeat bill the Iowa legislature passed and I signed in 2018 and again earlier this year.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp also made similar comments Tuesday, highlighting the state leaders’ focus on restricting access to the procedure. Trump, looking toward a general election as he runs away with the Republican primary race, appears to be attempting to thread the needle on the issue. While he helped cement a conservative Supreme Court majority that gutted abortion rights, he appears to be skeptical of leaning further right on the issue — especially when he can use his position to draw contrast with DeSantis, the second-polling candidate in the field.
They can all smoke a fat dick.

This is where I'm surprisingly rooting for Trump to rip into all of them and call their wives whores or whatever, then watch them go, "I'm sorry Daddy Trump!"
Nah, the GOP has already washed their hands with Trump. DeSantis is their new tyrant.
I'm not sure their voters got the memo, most of them still seem to be on the Trump train whether GOP leaders like it or not.
Doesn't matter what GOP leadership wants. They never liked Trump in the first place. Their voters want Trump and many of them cannot be convinced otherwise.
DeSantis is polling something like 4th out of the current crop of GOP hopefuls. His appeal has seemingly imploded
I feel like the Republicans need to get their messaging sorted out. And like… pretty much everything else about their party these days sorted out, too.
Trump has probably heard abortion issues hurt Republican candidates. They can steer him in the other direction easily enough.
Trump looks out for Trump, and he knows he'd be paying a lot more in child support if abortions weren't legal.
Oh, he will just flip. He thinks political ideologies are for suckers.

Their messaging is loud and clear: own the libs.
There is no other overriding message
When they have literal nazis representing and voting for their party, I think it needs more than just getting their message sorted out.
They should probably also change their name to something that denotes their desire to create a fascist theocracy.
Maybe NATionalist Christians party?
Well they want to misrepresent themselves as long as possible, so that’s not going to happen.
lol oh noes! He’s not the paragon of Christianity that you held him up to be….could he have…dare I say…faults???
