Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff said former President Trump’s vow to protect women “is yet more lies and more gaslighting,” in a Sunday interview on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.”

In a discussion about abortion rights, Emhoff said it was “wrong” that his 83-year-old mother “is somehow going to enjoy more rights” than his daughter, and he blamed the situation on Trump.

“This is all because of Donald Trump. He ran on a platform of women should be punished for seeking an abortion. He said that. There’s video. He ran on a platform of appointing Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade, They did just that. And he is for a national abortion ban,” Emhoff told Psaki.

“Make no mistake, where he says I will be the protector of women, that is yet more lies and more gaslighting,” he continued.
