'Women are literally dying': Ex-lawyer flags Trump quote that's 'coming back to haunt' him
A Donald Trump brag is now coming back to haunt Republicans, and they can't escape it no matter how hard they try, a former lawyer and current radio host said on Sunday.
Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney and host of SiriusXM radio’s daily program, “The Dean Obeidallah Show," appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to discuss Trump and his recent waffling on women's reproductive rights. Obeidallah in the past highlighted negative aspects of Trump's performance at the now-infamous debate with President Joe Biden.
The host noted Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) recent comments rejecting Trump's idea for an insurance company mandate on IVF, and Obeidallah responded by suggesting the Republicans know they are in trouble when it comes to women's healthcare.

"They understand they are going to lose badly in 2024. One of the main issues is Trump saying things like, 'I terminated Roe v. Wade and was honored to do so.' So this is coming back to haunt them," he said. "It's not a political issue. I don't think Republicans get it; nothing more personal than passing laws in states that force women against their will to carry a fetus to term."
He added, "Donald trump can't lessen it. Maternal mortality has gone up in the states where those bans are, women are literally dying because of these policies, so Donald Trump is empty, it's the worst form of politics."
