While Trump freezes in court, Biden rips him in Florida

President Biden blasted Trump for taking away reproductive freedom, while the former president/defendant complained about being cold in court.

President Biden said in part at a campaign event for reproductive freedom in Florida:

Donald Trump is concerned that voters will hold him accountable for the atrocities and chaos he has caused. Folks, the bad news for Trump is that we’re going to hold him accountable. We are. He must be held accountable. He should be responsible for states that pass extreme laws that jeopardize IVF treatments for women desperately trying to start a family.

Voters will hold Trump responsible for turning women away from emergency rooms, as my introducer did. Forced to travel hundreds of miles to receive basic health care. Forced to go to court to plead for relief to protect herself and her ability to have children in the future. Folks, the voters are going to hold Trump accountable when women are told by extreme politicians and judges to wait and get sicker and sicker to the point where your life is determined and in danger.

Now in America today, in 2024, women have fewer rights than their mothers. And their grandmothers had that thanks to Donald Trump. Look, I don’t think we’re going to let them get away with it. Will you? And folks, in a way I don’t know why he is, we’re surprised by Trump.

How many times does he have to prove that we can’t be trusted? Trump bragged about how proud he was to get rid of Roe v. Wade over it. He took credit for it. He said there should be punishment for women who exercise their reproductive freedom. His words, not mine. He described Dobbs’ decision as a miracle. Maybe it’s from the Bible he’s trying to sell.

Wow. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what’s inside. Folks, it wasn’t a miracle. It was a political deal to get rid of Roe v. Wathe.

The Biden campaign had gotten a taste of this line of attack before the president’s speech, and it clearly bothers Trump, who mentioned that Biden didn’t campaign while sitting in a cold courtroom all day.

Trump could campaign too, if he wanted to. Court ended for the day around 2:00 PM ET. The court does not hold a hearing on Wednesday. There’s nothing stopping Trump from getting on his plane every day after the trial ends and campaigning in a swing state.

Donald Trump only holds campaign events on Saturdays.

Trump doesn’t want to campaign because he has no energy or stamina. Biden goes around Trump and touches on reproductive rights that resonate with voters nationwide.
