A lot of the major loss the TrumpTrain suffered in Wisconsin is being blamed on the ridiculous flip flopping from Trump on abortion, where he took as many as 5 different positions while trying to pretend to be prolife.
And now he’s made it worse by snubbing a prolife group he was supposed to talk with:
Donald Trump just blew off pro-life leaders exactly one week after he angered the movement by calling for “punishment” for abortion.
Trump was reportedly expected to address Priests for Life and the 115 Forum conference during a conference call on Wednesday. But he bailed. Leslie Palma, a spokesperson for Priests for Life, told The Daily Beast that Trump did not dial-in.
A conservative operative with knowledge of the call told The Daily Beast that pro-life leaders involved were disappointed Trump decided not to speak with them.
Frankly, they probably would have been MORE disappointed if he called in and blabbered on and on incoherently.
“To me, that’s just typical Donald Trump,” said Newman, president of Operation Rescue and a board member of the Center for Medical Progress, whose director was indicted over videos it distributed about Planned Parenthood. “We just don’t know exactly what he believes or who he is.”
Newman wasn’t on the conference call but works closely with many anti-abortion groups, including Priests for Life. The group brings together anti-abortion Catholic priests and also works with lay people, deacons, and seminarians around the world who oppose abortion. Catholics are an integral part of the pro-life movement, so you’d think Trump would benefit from having a conversation with the group, but it didn’t happen.
Keep it up, Trump. Hopefully the American people are waking up to what a con man this idiot is.
