Trump snaps at activists to either fall in line behind him or 'they will have nothing'
Late Saturday night Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to attack anti-abortion activists who are still supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and warned them to fall in line behind his re-election bid.
The former president raised the ire of anti-choice activists during a speech in Washington D.C. over a week ago where he suggested he would not make the continuing assault on a woman's right to choose a central part of his re-election bid.
On Truth Social Saturday night, the former president doubled down.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"Pro lifers had absolutely zero status on the subject of abortion until I came along. For 52 years everyone 'talked,' but got nothing. I GOT IT DONE! There would be no talk of a six week ban, or anything else, without me. Roe v. Wade allowed the killing of a baby at any time, including the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th month, and even after birth. They, therefore, are the RADICALS, not us, and now, because of our Supreme Court victory, the power has shifted and, for the first time, those fighting for the Pro Life movement have been given tremendous Power on this issue. Before our victory, they had nothing, and they will have nothing again if we don’t win ELECTIONS," he wrote.
In a passage that will likley inflame the activists, he added, "Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the three Exceptions for Rape, Incest, and the Life of the Mother. You have to follow your HEART, but without the Exceptions, it will be very hard to win Elections. The six week ban on abortion, among other things, like his fight against Social Security & MediCare, killed the DeSanctus Campaign!"
