Hi @BrianStelter— speaking of “shocking comments” here’s @RalphNortham: “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother & family desired then a discussion would ensue between the physician & mother.”
Trump says a lot of things, some totally false. But to pretend like this late-term abortion stuff is coming from nowhere rather than coming in response to bizarre comments from Ralph Northam which were themselves made in defense of an extreme abortion bill... it’s disingenuous.
It’s worth noting that @ElainaPlott pushed back a little later in the @ReliableSources segment, quoting Ralph Northam directly & pointing out that Trump’s comments aren’t coming from nowhere, but rather that they’re a direct response to what Northam said about late-term abortion.

A reminder of what @RalphNortham actually said despite efforts by folks like @BrianStelter to gaslight us into ignoring it. I know that this was forgotten by some because of the KKK / blackface yearbook photo that emerged a couple days later, but it’s worth listening to again.
Important to remember is that Governor Northam made these bizarre disturbing comments in the context of defending the extreme abortion bill that had been proposed in Virginia’s House of Delegates which, by its own sponsor’s admission, would’ve allowed abortions up through birth.
Here is Virginia House Delegate @KathyKLTran admitting that her proposed abortion bill would have allowed abortion through all nine months of pregnancy — including partial birth abortion.

1. “Until this crazy man in Virginia said it no one thought of doing this…” (mother and doctor deciding whether to “execute a baby” is a crude twisting of Virginia’s Governor Northam’s confusing comments, which anti-abortion groups dubbed “infanticide”
2. “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” Northam said. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother, and then a discussion would ensue between physicians and mother.
3. Northam, a physician, never said he would sanction the execution of newborns. What he did say is that in rare cases when fetuses are nonviable, doctors deliver the baby, keep it comfortable, resuscitate it if the mother wishes, and then have a “discussion” with the mother.

Stop gaslighting people.

Northam on LT abortions: "The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."
He was given several chances to clarify, but essentially refused. It's a perfectly fair reading of those comments to say he was suggesting that discussion would be as to whether to allow that baby to die.

Suggesting that interpretation is a lie is just spin/hackery.
It's one thing if reporters gave Northam's actual comments and his statement, but calling a reasonable interpretation of his comments "a lie" is exactly how you lose credibility.

Yes, it is an insane thing to say. So go ask Northam why he said it...

Politicians in blackface? For Democrats, it beats defending late-term abortion. chicagotribune.com/news/columnist…
America has been told, relentlessly, that the nation became officially and irrevocably unhinged in November 2016.
That’s when a vulgar reality TV star flipped off the calcified Washington establishment, became president and triggered much hysterical weeping and teeth-gnashing among pundits and other palace guardians who play journalists on TV.

The Boundless Depravity Of Democrats conservativehq.com/article/29602-…
In their embrace of unrestricted abortion Democrats in Virginia and New York have entered a realm of depravity not seen since Adolf Hitler began a program of eugenics and euthanasia to “cleanse” German society of people the Nazi elite deemed undesirable.
In a morally corrupt speech the likes of which have seldom been uttered in an American legislature, Delegate @KathyKLTran introduced and defended HB 2491, a bill to eliminate any restriction on the performance of an abortion up to the moment of birth.

VA gov on abortion this morning:

“If a mother is in labor...the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians & mother"
So to sum things up... @GovernorVA is thinks it's okay to kill a baby once it's fully delivered. Disgusting.
There's really no way around this: it's murder.

On radio this morning, Virginia governor Ralph Northam defended the state Democrats’ new bill that would allow abortion until birth, suggesting that a born-alive infant could be allowed to die if a mother wanted an abortion. Get the details at @NRO: nationalreview.com/corner/virgini…
Northam also lied about the substance of the bill, claiming that late-term abortions would require the consent of more than one physician. In fact, the bill erases that requirement and allows just one doctor to make the decision.
Here’s the video of Northam’s interview, in which he seems to be defending allowing born-alive infants to die on the table after birth. Of note: Ralph Northam is a pediatric neurologist.
