Dems run with Biden’s attacks on MAGA Republicans, call pro-life lawmakers ‘threat to democracy’

House Democrats leaders have expanded the party’s crusade to label MAGA Republicans a “threat to democracy” to include pro-life conservatives.

House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Sen. Lindsey Graham belongs in the threat-to-democracy camp because of his bill that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

“If your top agenda is a nationwide ban on abortion, we’re not making [that] up,” Mr. Jeffries said. “Lindsey Graham just introduced the bill that would leave in place extreme bans that states have enacted all across the country and undermine the freedom of women to make their own reproductive health care decisions in states like California, New York or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and beyond.
