White House hypocrisy on the leaked Supreme Court Roe draft
Red States: You may have noticed something interesting in the reaction to the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion referring to Roe v. Wade. First, Democrats are pretending like the draft is a final opinion of the Court and going all-in to gin up the anger on the left for the midterms. Second, Democrats are attacking the Court — going against all norms that one doesn’t criticize or try to affect an ongoing case, not to mention that you shouldn’t try to threaten or intimidate SCOTUS justices. But that’s exactly what some of them — like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — are... read more

Dem's disgusting response on abortion
Red States: The Democrats have shown they don’t care much about the truth. Not only are they lying about the Supreme Court draft opinion (which isn’t even a final opinion), they are trying to imply that the non-decision goes even beyond abortion and Roe v. Wade to threaten all kinds of other “rights.” Kamala Harris claimed this was a threat to the “right to privacy.” Rep.
