Chuck Darwin<p>Cleanup on Aisle MAGA. -- Trump Bends to Conservative Abortion Critics</p><p>In the end, Donald Trump, a master of evasion, could only obfuscate for so long.</p><p>After hemming, hawing, avoiding, and rambling, he finally admitted Friday night that ♦️he opposes his home state’s abortion-rights ballot initiative.</p><p>Insiders had expected him to end up there. </p><p>⭐️But Trump had shown a remarkable ability to just say nothing at all. </p><p>For months, he was coy about the Florida initiative, which would overrule the state’s current <a href="https://c.im/tags/six" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>six</span></a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/week" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>week</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ban</span></a> by creating a right to abortion in the state constitution. </p><p>He said he’d let his position be known at some point and then offered vague responses that didn’t address the fundamental, binary choice of which way he’d vote.</p><p>🔥But pressure and anger mounted from social conservatives after he made muddled remarks to NBC that led to a conservative backlash. </p><p>And a day later, Friday, he finally made his position clear in a safe-space interview with Fox News. </p><p>He started by saying that while he would prefer to extend Florida’s cutoff so that abortions are permitted beyond six weeks<br>—“you need more time than six weeks”<br>—he has ultimately decided to vote against <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amendment4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amendment4</span></a> because it would allow for later-term abortions, all the way through birth: <br>“The nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month.”<br>“I’ll be voting no for that reason,” Trump said.</p><p>He then <a href="https://c.im/tags/falsely" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>falsely</span></a> claimed that in “some of the states, like Minnesota, and other states, have it where you could actually execute the baby after birth.”</p><p>It was a major relief for evangelicals.<br>“<a href="https://c.im/tags/Mission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mission</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/accomplished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accomplished</span></a>,” said an evangelical Trump confidant, who spoke on condition of anonymity.</p><p><a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/cleanup-on-aisle-maga-trump-bends" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thebulwark.com/p/cleanup-on-ai</span><span class="invisible">sle-maga-trump-bends</span></a></p>
