After The New York Times called Donald Trump ‘vague’ on abortion rights, the Biden campaign posted a Trump ad and a video of Trump’s own statements that say otherwise.

In 2016, then-candidate Trump claimed to be pro-life and opined there should be “some form of punishment” for getting an abortion, suggesting that a ban should go forward even if it means that people have to “go to illegal places” to get them.

“I am pro-life. The answer is, you go back to a position like they had where people will perhaps go to illegal places, but you have to ban it. … The answer is… that there has to be some form of punishment.”

The Biden campaign also posted an ad produced by Trump’s campaign in which a narrator praises Trump for placing conservative judges on the Supreme Court and overturning Roe before the viewer hears Trump himself utter the following words: “I’m Donald J. Trump and I approve this message.”

  • Disgustingly, Trump is still a cash cow for any news outlets. None of them will help denigrate him out of the news cycle. They see nothing but dollar signs until a minimum of after the election.
