BUDAPEST, Hungary — The GOP has come up with a solution for the “great replacement” it fears is threatening to replace traditional white Republican voters with immigrants: an abortion ban.

Matt Schlapp, the head of the influential Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and a confidant to former President Donald Trump, says that overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, would be a good “first step” in fixing what he says is the problem of immigration in the U.S.

And in doing so, he floated a core concern of white supremacists’ original “great replacement theory” that even fringe GOP politicians haven’t been willing to voice publicly: That immigrants are outbreeding the native-born population and threatening to replace them in society.

“I am very hopeful in America that we will give the right to life to our unborn children,” Schlapp told U.S. media, who were denied entry to the latest CPAC conference occurring this week in Budapest, Hungary. Schlapp was asked whether or not he agreed with the comments made by his host, authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who told the conference that Europe was “committing suicide” through immigration.

“Roe v. Wade is being adjudicated at the Supreme Court right now, for people that believe that we somehow need to replace populations or bring in new workers, I think it is an appropriate first step to give the…enshrinement in law the right to life for our own unborn children,” he said.

2. Pretty much

3. I so f**king hate this guy.

This bullshit just makes me want to scream bloody murder!

4. Do the repressives remember what that is, again?

For the last several days, Republicans have feigned ignorance of "the Great Replacement" or "Replacement Theory" in the wake of the latest racist mass shooting in Buffalo by a guy who marinated in that shit.

But now it's all coming back to Matt Schlapp, though he tries to arm's-length his recollection by calling it the "quote-unquote replacement." So if he's button-holed on it later, he can claim he was just saying it that way to soothe the tender fee-fees of the libtards.

These weasels give weasels a bad name.

5. "Start with allowing our own people to live."

So Matt Schlapp is calling for white babies to be allowed to live? Don't Black live matter too, Matt?

Talk about a clarion call so obvious to the naked ear.

7. Ironic considering they usually want to ban

abortion to stop the “genocide of black babies”. Or so they claim.

Schlapp is an overt racist.

6. The stupidity never quits.

Bubblehead Schlapp apparently thinks that only whites will be constrained from abortions. In fact, there will be more people of color who will reluctantly give birth because of anti-abortion laws than whites. A whole lot more. White women are far more likely to have access to reproductive care and abortions, extra-legal or otherwise, because generally, they are more privileged and wealthier than people of color, and can afford to get legal or illegal abortions and avoid prosecutions.

8. Allow our own people to live? Your party voted against fixing the baby formula shortage, Matt.

9. Seems to me 1 group of people will still be able to travel to get them.

And other groups of people won't be able to travel to get them. They're so dumb if they think this will lead to more white babies.
