An abortion ban killed her. Trump used Fox town hall to mock her grieving family.

The death of Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, has been linked directly to Georgia’s draconian abortion ban, a ban that exists because Donald Trump proudly oversaw the end of Roe. v. Wade during his presidency.

At a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues – taped Tuesday in Atlanta and broadcast Wednesday – Trump, the network host and the town hall attendees treated Thurman’s death and her family’s grief like a laugh line.

Noting that Thurman’s family held a press call hosted by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign before the Fox News event, host Harris Faulkner, with snark in her voice, said to Trump: “Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now.”

“Oh, that’s nice,” Trump said, dismissively, as the crowd chuckled.

Then he said: “We’ll get better ratings, I promise.” And Faulkner and the crowd erupted in laughter.

2. "And the crowd erupted in laughter"

Who ARE these people? They and their monstrous clown leader have no empathy, no human decency. I can’t imagine being so callous.

5. Trump didn't oversee "the end of Roe. v. Wade during his presidency."

He set the stage with his puppet SCOTUS, but it was overturned under the Biden administration. God, I hate bad writing.

11. Despicable

[Timeflyer]

12. Desecrating Arlington Cemetery, bragging about getting better ratings than a grieving family of a woman

who died because he destroyed Roe, separating children from their families at the border---and his cult approves. There truly is no end, no bottom, no "too far" to their evil.
