Graham took issue with Trump’s support for a federal 15-week ban. Trump responded by criticizing Graham, saying his position does a disservice to Republicans and the country.
Respectfully disagree

“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham wrote. “Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child – not geography.”
Great disservice

“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” Trump wrote.
Compromising

Trump argued Graham keeps compromising on the issue and moving the goalposts from no exceptions to later and later terms.

Radical Left Democrats

“At first he wanted no Abortions under any circumstances, then he was up to 6 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, now he’s up to 15 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, but what he doesn’t understand, or perhaps he does, is the Radical Left Democrats, who are destroying our Country, will never approve anything that he or the Republicans want,” Graham’s statement read. “They love this Issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so. Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties.”
Lost elections

Trump said some Republicans have lost elections due to their stance on abortion and Graham risks handing Democrats full control.

“Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency,” Trump wrote.
