At a campaign stop on Saturday, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, in the political fight of his life, said this of women in America:

“I want every young woman to know that that there’s a place for you in America if you’re pro-life, if you embrace your religion and you follow traditional family structure,” he added, “that you can go anywhere, young lady.”

Watch the clip below:

Sen. Lindsey Graham says Amy Coney Barrett shows young women can go anywhere in America "if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion and you follow traditional family structure."

The term "traditional family structure" has been used to exclude and denigrate LGBTQ families. pic.twitter.com/bbpvnBdFU7

Graham made the comment in Conway, South Carolina after praising newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Imagine being Lindsey Graham and saying to a crowd "Women have a place in America——>IF…"

*IF*

And this is to get women's votes.
