On the campaign trail Saturday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham said women are welcome anywhere in the country — provided that they're anti-abortion.The Republican senator took the stage at a campaign event in Conway, South Carolina, his home state, and praised Amy Coney Barrett, the newly appointed Supreme Court justice.
"I want every young woman to know there's a place for you in America if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion, and you follow a traditional family structure — that you can go anywhere, young lady," he continued.Throughout the confirmation process, Barrett has chosen to withhold details about her stance on abortion and reproductive rights. But in the past, Barrett's actions have signaled she is against Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision granting abortion.
Story continuesWomen and LGBT activists are slamming his remarks, characterizing the parameters he listed as sexist and anti-LGBT. Graham's remarks come weeks after the senator made limiting characterizations about Black people. "I care about everybody," Graham said, speaking at a forum for South Carolina Senate candidates."If you're a young African American, an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state. You just need to be conservative, not liberal."
Graham is an IMBECILE. That POS graham NEEDS to GO FOREVER
