Gretchen Whitmer blasts Trump and his Supreme Court appointees for creating a 'mess' of women's reproductive freedom
WASHINGTON, DC: Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer took shots at Donald Trump and his Supreme Court appointees for limiting the reproductive freedom of American women on the Tuesday, July 9 episode of 'The View'.
Sitting at the Hot Topic's table with co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, Whitmer defended President Joe Biden, saying he is the best candidate to take on Trump in the upcoming election.

Whitmer said, "Donald Trump had at least two dozen positions when it comes to a woman's ability to make her own decisions about her life and her health."
She continued, "You cannot trust anything he says on this front. He will go out and take credit for the Dobbs decision, and upending of Roe v Wade, and women struggling to get the care they need to survive a pregnancy or desperately want a pregnancy that isn't going to come to term."
