Can't be done; that's not how the court operates.
Julie did post video proof. What did you see that would contradict it?
He drilled Trump longer than that clip shows on abortion.
If something is against the law, any candidate would agree that anyone who breaks a specific law should be punished. That's not unusual. So he takes abortion, and Trump's position on abortion, and asks the what if question. What if abortion were banned? Should those who break a law be punished?
It's a lose lose for a candidate. If he said No, then the next question would surely be well, why ban it then if we're not going to deter law breaking with punishment. Why have laws if there are no consequences for breaking them? If he says yes, then it becomes about being anti-woman. And that's all Matthews was after in the first place.
And if you notice, when Trump turns the tables on him it's okay for Matthews to say "well, I accept the teaching authority of my church" but he doesn't think abortion should be banned. Matthews allows himself to hold two conflicting views on the topic, but he's pinning Trump against the wall. If Matthews is telling the truth about accepting his churches' teaching on abortion yet doesn't feel it should be banned, then his view would be no different than Trump's if Trump had been allowed to say what he was trying to.
This is no different than when leftists badgered Dan Cathy, founder of Chic Fil A, about marriage. He refused to answer that question several times. When they finally badgered him enough, he gave in and shared HIS view. Next thing you know, they spun it as Cathy being anti-gay and a judgemental religious fanatic who wanted to push his views on everyone else, completely ignoring the fact that they had to DRAG his view out of him . It was just a matter of being POed at a fundamentalist Christian who made good, and an attempt to take him down. But the Cathy family held fast to their trust in God, and they're still here.
Frankly, I think that Cathy incident and the Duck Dynasty guy's incident opened a lot of people's eyes to the bully technique and so they recognized it next time around.
I have several prochoice friends who voted for Trump.
