An abortion ban killed her. Trump used Fox town hall to mock her grieving family. [View all]
The death of Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, has been linked directly to Georgia’s draconian abortion ban, a ban that exists because Donald Trump proudly oversaw the end of Roe. v. Wade during his presidency.
At a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues – taped Tuesday in Atlanta and broadcast Wednesday – Trump, the network host and the town hall attendees treated Thurman’s death and her family’s grief like a laugh line.
Noting that Thurman’s family held a press call hosted by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign before the Fox News event, host Harris Faulkner, with snark in her voice, said to Trump: “Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now.”
“Oh, that’s nice,” Trump said, dismissively, as the crowd chuckled.
Then he said: “We’ll get better ratings, I promise.” And Faulkner and the crowd erupted in laughter.
