Mike Malloy - Conservatives Rip "The Asshole" To Pieces



Despite assuring evangelicals last week that he would appoint anti-abortion judges and cares deeply about the anti-abortion cause, Donald Trump has so far been silent about the Supreme Court’s major abortion rights ruling on Monday. And conservatives are not happy.

Just minutes after the high court struck down a pair of Texas abortion restrictions, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton praised the ruling and used it to attack Trump, who said earlier this year that women who have abortions should face some sort of “punishment” if the procedure ever becomes illegal.

“This fight isn’t over: The next president has to protect women’s health,” Clinton tweeted. “Women won’t be ‘punished’ for exercising their basic rights.”

Everyone held their breath for Trump’s counter-jab — but instead, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee stayed mum.

Trump’s silence on the ruling is odd, considering his monthslong struggle to assure skeptical anti-abortion activists that he’s on their side. Just last week, Trump accepted the endorsement of Troy Newman, the president of the extremist anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, who has said that the murder of abortion providers is justifiable.

Conservative pundits are now skewering Trump for his silence on the ruling.
