Donald Trump on Monday released a video laying out his thoughts on abortion, claiming he wants it to be left up to the states instead of enacting a national abortion ban.

“Take whatever he said and just throw it in the trash because he will do or say whatever he thinks is politically expedient,” Levy said, reminding listeners: “Remember this is Donald Trump that back in… 2016 during the primaries, said that women who got abortion should face some form of ‘punishment.’”
