MSNBC, CNN, ABC's 'The View' slam Lindsey Graham over 15 week abortion ban, call it political 'suicide'
Fox News
Left-leaning media figures called Lindsey Graham's abortion bill announcement a 'desperate' and 'ugly' move to drum up support from the Republican base.
Nikolas Lanum is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
CNN political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin said Wednesday that Graham’s decision to go "rogue" against the "Republican orthodoxy" on abortion was frustrating, suggesting that the Senator’s announcement helped provide cover for the Biden administration’s "terrible" inflation numbers.
"The question is why Lindsey Graham is walking across the street to punch himself in the face," CNN's John Avlon chimed in. ""He's hanging a lantern on the fact that there's complete hypocrisy on the issue of states rights. This is the opposite of states rights. This is the entire argument that the Republicans have been making for a long time, this shouldn't be decided by the courts, it should be decided by state to state. A position we saw Lindsey Graham himself made in August and now he's reversing it."
