Much like Melania, the RBG PAC represents a Trojan horse full of bad ideas about human personhood. Don’t buy it. Get rid of it.
As the country barrels toward November 5, last-ditch campaign efforts are flooding the screen-scape.
The latest to join in the deluge? “RBG PAC.”
The pro-Trump group — which isn’t a satirical creation, somehow — derives its name from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late Supreme Court justice who regularly made headlines for her vehement support of Roe v. Wade and her similarly vehement detestation of Donald Trump.
RBG PAC posted its raison d’être on X:
RBG believed that the federal government shouldn’t dictate our abortion laws. Donald Trump also opposes a national ban on abortion and believes the decision should be left to the states. Great minds think alike.
The PAC also posted a 30-second video advert, starring the world’s most unenthused suburban white woman, pallidly affirming that she stands with Trump on abortion.
“I’ve never voted for Trump,” she says.
[With a knowing lilt in her voice, the bourgeois mom assures her viewers that she’s not like those other maniacs who have.]
“But when he was president, life was a lot better.”
[The camera cuts to her walking past manicured greenery, tote bag slung on shoulder, ostensibly returning from a trip to the farmers’ market.]
“I trust him on the economy, and on keeping us safe.”
[The woman snuggles her toddler while her doting husband looks on.]
“Freedom to choose is also important to me, and there’s been a lot of talk on where he stands. But he’s been clear, [insert robotic hand motions] he does not support a federal abortion ban.”
[Clip of Trump saying, “I’m not signing a ban.”]
“Trump does support reasonable exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. His position is my position. And that’s why, I’m with Trump.”
The advert ends with a short clip of RBG rolling in her grave.
[Okay, I made that last one up.]
This unholy alliance of RBG and GOP has pleased almost no one.
Unsurprisingly, the Left is appalled by the heretical association of one of its hallowed saints with the orange Satan himself.
A member of the Ginsburg family has spoken out against the PAC’s use of RBG’s name. Clara Spera — Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s granddaughter and pro-abortion lawyer — denounced the group in a statement to the New York Times on behalf of her family.
“The RBG PAC has no connection to the Ginsburg family and is an affront to my late grandmother’s legacy,” Spera said in the statement. “The use of her name and image to support Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, and specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on abortion, is nothing short of appalling.”
I’m with Spera on this one — that the GOP would approve of RBG’s position on abortion is nothing short of appalling. (And to be fair to RBG, although she was radically wrong about abortion, her biography remains nothing short of astounding. Her story does not deserve a MAGA spray tan.)
In just a few weeks, RBG PAC has spent nearly $20 million, attempting to convince the electorate that pro-choice women and Trump are totally besties.
Just about the only folks who approve of RBG PAC’s message have the last name of “Trump.”
Trump’s campaign has slammed the brakes hard on pro-life rhetoric and yanked the wheel leftward. Former first lady Melania Trump “came out” as pro-choice earlier this month through her memoir, Melania. The book’s anonymous ghostwriter (has anyone heard from Kellyanne Conway lately?) describes abortion as “a woman’s natural right to make decisions about her own body and health.”
Melania’s memoir has sold well, having debuted at the top of the New York Times’ best-seller list. To the former first lady’s credit, her husband’s hollow endorsement probably didn’t contribute much to the book’s sale: “She just wrote a book — I hope she said good things about . . . I don’t know . . . so busy. She just wrote a book called Melania. Go out and buy it, it’s great. And if she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up and say: ‘Don’t buy it. Get rid of it.'”
Much like Melania, the RBG PAC represents a Trojan horse full of bad ideas about human personhood.
Don’t buy it. Get rid of it.
