Yeah cause they know he is lying.
I think you ascribe more intent to his statements than actually exists. "Lying" implies that he has an actual intent to mislead. The reality is that he doesn't care one way or the other. He will do or say whatever he thinks will get him the most support at any given time, regardless of what he has said or done in the past.
He will say literally anything to get elected, but if he wins, he'll do whatever the Heritage Foundation says.
We know this because it's exactly what happened in 2016, especially in regards to reproductive rights.
... “everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”
Which means that Trump would 100% sign a federal abortion ban, got it.
I’m old enough to remember when Roe v. Wade was “sEtTLeD LAw” according to maliciously lying, privately funded hacks on the $upremely Courted
If that is now his pledge, their internal polling must look really bad.
JD Vance’s response to abortion rights was ‘we need to get women to trust us’, so yeah I’d imagine its pretty dismal.
Anyone who believes anything he says is a fucking moron
Something something Mexico something something wall
He might hypothetically veto legislation (which would never get through Congress anyway), but he'll appoint Supreme Court justices who will effectively do the same thing.
I'm a Republican who believes Abortion is Murder and I'm OK with SOME States Legalizing the Murder of Children! SOME dead Children is Fine with me, a Pro Life Abortion is Murder Republican!
And this is exactly how we know they're lying when they say "Abortion should be left up to the states!"
Also they are fine with dead children; it's dead fetuses they can't stand.
