Trump Has Undermined Everything RBG Stood For

While Trump paid his respects to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today, his record has disrespected everything that she stood and fought for as a justice.

RBG championed women’s rights while Trump has rolled back workplace protections, including equal pay, and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Q: “Do you want to see the court overturn Roe v. Wade?” TRUMP: “Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, that’s really what’s going to be — that will happen and that will happen automatically in my opinion because I am putting pro-life justices on the court.”

RBG stood up for voting rights while Trump has consistently pushed for and even admitted to voter suppression.
