Republicans Gaslighting America on Abortion: A Closer Look

In a desperate attempt to win over voters, the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump, is engaging in a campaign of deception and gaslighting when it comes to abortion rights. Despite Trump’s history of supporting strict anti-abortion measures, he is now falsely claiming he never backed a federal ban on abortion, a blatant lie that threatens to mislead the American public.

Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a serious threat to democracy by eroding trust in the political process and manipulating public opinion for personal gain. His willingness to deceive the public on such a critical issue as abortion rights undermines the foundation of a free and fair society, where honesty and transparency are essential for a functioning democracy.
