Trump Supporter: Liberal Media Always Uses Abortion to ‘Trap’ Republicans

Donald Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes said on CNN earlier tonight that Donald Trump fell into yet another liberal media “trap” on the subject of abortion.

Hughes told Wolf Blitzer Trump had only clarified his position on a “punishment” for women who get abortions, but Blitzer said, “No, it was a real reversal.”

Hughes said, “The one thing we have learned is that the liberal mainstream media that have been anti-Republican and anti-conservatives for so long use the issue of the pro-life/pro-choice abortion issue to trap Republicans, because there’s usually no way to win.”

Blitzer pointed out that Trump should have been ready to answer that question. Hughes dismissed it as “hypothetical gotcha questions” from Chris Matthews.

She said that Trump has said he’s pro-life and so “what more do you need to know”?
