Hochul claims Trump ‘stacked’ Supreme Court with justices ‘hostile to women’s rights’ – Washington Examiner
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York criticized former President Donald Trump for appointing U.S. Supreme Court justices whom she believes are opposed to women’s rights. During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Hochul spoke in support of President Joe Biden prior to a presidential debate scheduled for June 27. She discussed the consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade, highlighting that it has enabled some states to implement measures protecting unborn children. Hochul asserts that Trump’s contributions to the Supreme Court have had detrimental effects on women’s rights.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) claimed Sunday morning that former President Donald Trump “stacked” the U.S. Supreme Court with justices “hostile to women’s rights.”
Hochul joined CNN’s State of the Union to support President Joe Biden before the upcoming presidential debate on June 27. She spoke extensively about the effects of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which allowed some states to enact protections for the unborn.
Hochul argued that “all” Trump can say regarding the issue of abortion is that he “took away the woman’s right to choose.”
“That is his talking point,” said Hocul. “He can’t go anywhere else. ‘I stacked the Supreme Court with people I knew were hostile to women’s rights’ that my mother’s generation fought for that are not there for my daughter’s generation.”
Hochul went on to tell host Kaitlan Collins how Biden should address the issue of abortion. “[Biden] doesn’t have to say a lot about it because everybody knows who stole that right from American women. That’s part of his agenda, talking about how we protect women’s rights.”
Earlier in the interview, Hochul said that one-third of women live in a state with bans on abortion, implying that the issue could fill the gap in polls that show 60% of women are not satisfied with either presidential candidate.

“One out of three American women live with an abortion ban. That is directly correlated to Donald Trump’s promise; one of the few promises he kept was the overturned Roe v. Wade,” Hochul said. “As a result, we have women that are suffering, that are driving hundreds of miles for an abortion that are [in] an emergency or been denied healthcare when their own lives are on the line. That’s what we have now. So President Biden should remind everybody who did this to American women.”
Hochul, whose popularity in her home state of New York recently plummeted to its lowest point ever at 38%, said she expects Biden to bring “electricity” to the debate stage Thursday.
