Trump was referring to Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who the president thanked for taking the heat off of his White House. We should find more guys like this one. He wanted to moonwalk!
I like him. He keeps us out of the paper. I like him, Trump said.
Northam was doing a radio interview where he talked about terminally ill fetuses being born. He said that the child would be born and the mother and doctors would do whatever they could to make the baby comfortable. Conservatives twisted that to mean make the baby comfortable before they killed it. Northam meant before the baby succumbed to the illness.
The governor stated that he would even allow a newborn baby to come out into the world and wrap the baby and make the baby comfortable, Trump said. And then talk to the mother. And talk to the father and then execute the baby. Execute the baby. Incredible.
As a fact check, babies dont speak when theyre first born. He has five children.

Finish the wall??? All of his Cult are going to yelling that out now. What idiots.
He's going by the Russian handbook of dividing and mocking people. I hate him. He's pitting people against people and you know he loves it. He really needs to go.

(8,311 posts)Of course, when people started saying that people were taking the idea of a "discussion" about hospice care, etc, for a dying newborn as talk of "execution", immediately a certain RW newspaper had to dig up a yearbook photo.
To keep people from defending anything he said, even when what he said *isn't* what he's being accused of saying by the President.

(1,706 posts)newborns talk,
that healthy babies are born and then killed.
3rd trimester later term abortions are very rare and only for the health of the mother or nonviable fetus nobody just decides to end a pregnancy then
The people at his rallies must think this is a stand-up comedy routine most of these people have children or brothers and sisters they can not possibly believe this stuff.

(13,390 posts)The misogyny in anti abortion ideology is deep. The lies about it are based on an assumption that there are women who would go through 3/4 of a pregnancy then change her mind and have an abortion. And that their murderous tendencies must be stopped.
Similarly, women (particularly white women) who don't want to have children are demonized as uncaring and selfish.
These are things the anti abortion extremists are prepared to believe because it confirms a bias against women.

(13,390 posts)The only thing new is a POTUS himself digging into it. Republicans have exploited the radical ideology by placating the activists but most have kept their distance from the most extreme rhetoric and activists. The propaganda has been consistently dishonest and outrageous and the late term abortion narratives have been getting more and more horrific.
