President Biden on Tuesday mocked former President Trump for hawking Bibles last month and eviscerated the presumptive GOP nominee over his abortion record. Biden, visiting Trump’s home state of Florida, delivered remarks in which he squarely blamed Trump for the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the subsequent state-level abortion restrictions put in place by GOP-led legislatures.
“He described the Dobbs decision as a miracle,” Biden said of Trump, referring to the June 2022 Supreme Court ruling that ended Roe v. Wade.
“Maybe it’s coming from that Bible he’s trying to sell. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell’s in it,” Biden added, drawing laughter from the crowd. “Folks, it was no miracle. It was a political deal … he made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party to look past his moral and character flaws in exchange for his commitment to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe.”
Trump in March promoted “God Bless the USA” Bibles in the days leading up to Easter. He encouraged supporters to buy the $60 Bibles, named for the Lee Greenwood song that plays at Trump’s rallies.
