Mulvaney: Trump Personally Wrote Pro-Life Comments in State of the Union Speech
By Washington Free Beacon. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney praised President Donald Trump’s personal commitment to the protection of religious liberty while speaking at the 15th annual National Catholic Prayer breakfast on Tuesday.
Mulvaney told the audience of Catholic leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., that in addition to emphasizing religious liberty during his public speeches, during private meetings at the White House Trump also speaks with world leaders about the importance of protecting the rights of Christians.
“He will look at them and say, ‘You’re not doing enough to take care of the Christians in your country,’ or ‘Thank you for helping the Christians in your country,'” Mulvaney said.
Mulvaney also said that Trump’s comments on abortion in 2019 State of the Union speech, which focused in large part on the then-recent scandal surrounding Virginia governor Ralph Northam’s (D.) apparent endorsement of infanticide, were added in by Trump himself shortly before the speech.
“The president was looking at it the very last time before he went out to give the speech, and he made some notes—he didn’t tell us what he was doing when he made the notes,” Mulvaney said. “If you remember the speech, you heard what the president was writing. The president was writing more about how important it was to protect life and how terrible it was to see what Virginia was doing.” (Read more from “Mulvaney: Trump Personally Wrote Pro-Life Comments in State of the Union Speech” HERE)
