Sen. Lindsey Graham goes on CNN’s Dana Bash after correcting him on abortion

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.C.) lost his cool after being corrected by CNN’s Dana Bash Sunday on “State of the Union.”

The senator appeared nervous after Bash asked him whether abortion should be handled at the “state level,” as Donald Trump’s campaign recently suggested to the Washington Post.

Instead of answering her question, Graham turned the subject to third-trimester miscarriages.

Graham, who introduced a federal ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy in the Senate in 2022, accused Democrats of having “barbaric” policies while pushing back against several false claims.

“What the Democratic Party is proposing on abortion is barbaric,” he said. “I think taxpayer-funded abortion until birth is barbaric.”

Bash reminded the senator that Roe v. Wade, which was overturned by the Supreme Court last year, protected abortion rights only up to “viability,” which is about 24 weeks.

After being corrected, Graham hit out at the anchor, shouting: “No, stop covering these babies,” before repeating his “abortion on demand” claims.

“Senator, I’m not covering for anybody and you know that,” Bash said. “And when I have Democrats — and I’ve had Democrats — I’ve asked many of them, all of them, their position on where and where they think this issue should be.”

The issue of third-trimester abortion is somewhat right-wing.

Late miscarriages are exceptionally rare, with recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing that only 1.1% of miscarriages occur after 21 weeks.

Trump drew the ire of the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America after his camp told the Washington Post that the Supreme Court “got it right” when it ruled that abortion “should be up to the state.”

The 2024 Republican nominee defended himself during a speech Sunday with the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, highlighting his impact on the Supreme Court.

There, he told supporters via video: “Those judges won a historic victory to protect innocent life. No one thought it would happen.”
