The former president repeated election lies, wouldn't say if he wants Ukraine to win the war, and was asked about a federal abortion ban and the debt limit.
Here are the key moments from CNN's Trump town hall. cnn.it/3NW2sY5

@jaketapper There’s probably a chance that he’s sexually assaulted enough women in his day that he might actually not remember this particular incident…
Fox News presented Gov. Greg Abbott with a poll that showed Americans overwhelmingly favored background checks and raising the age to buy firearms.
But Abbott shunned gun safety options and instead pointed to the need to increase mental health funding. bit.ly/3B44NbI
Apparently, Donald told reporters he’s cutting his Ireland trip short to return the the states and “confront” E Jean Carroll? Didn’t Tacopants already tell the judge Donald wouldn’t be making an appearance? standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
@MeidasTouch@reportsbychar Police love their violence. How can they expect citizens to respect them when they consistently use excessive force on unarmed citizens?
Holy shit. Texas DPS officers just roughed up peaceful protesters in the House Gallery as Republicans prepared to debate their anti-trans bill. (h/t @reportsbychar)
@CalltoActivism Corporate greed proliferates every sector of our economy. No one should make millions of dollars a year while their employees live paycheck to paycheck.
BREAKING: West Wing’s Bradley Whitford says it’s “fucking ridiculous” film and TV writers aren’t paid more as executives rack in millions.
“Last year, eight major Hollywood studio CEOS made over $773,000,000 in annual salary. Meanwhile, many of the workers who write their shows can’t afford rent,” said a graphic he posted.
Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor Studios made $308 million dollars.
The two CEOs of Netflix each made $40 million and $38 million respectively.
“That’s why the Writers Guild of America is ready to strike,” the graphic says.
Thank you Bradley Whitford for speaking out!
Studios must remember there is no industry without writers and they deserve to be able to make a living.
When a union is organized into a cohesive voice, they can make life better for everyone.
Even if you are not a union member, it helps to support those who are!
SOLIDARITY! 💙
@CNNPolitics It’s mind boggling that there are not already ethical standards for scotus. As the high court in the country it just makes sense that they should hold themselves to the highest standards, and since they apparently can’t do that, we now need a regulation requiring it.
A conservative former federal judge sent a warning shot to the Supreme Court, calling on it to enact a code of conduct that would “subject itself to the highest professional and ethical standards that would render the Court beyond reproach.” cnn.it/3p0EWPa
@thehill Taking away veterans benefits is a bold move for the gop who claims to support the military. But I guess their policies have historically shown that they don’t care about soldiers once they return.
The VA said the cuts would mean 81,000 jobs lost in the department’s health services, 30 million fewer outpatient visits for veterans and an increase of disability backlogs by 134,000 claims, among a range of other concerns.

I’m waiting for a Fox viewer to explain to me how the hell they can continue to get their news from that network, especially knowing what we know now.
Seriously, please explain it.
Country star John Rich thinks the Bud Light controversy will stick with the company for a long time... "People have just had enough of it. It's like a bullhorn in your face." fxn.ws/41tw2I4
@CNNPolitics I thought the gop was the party of business and small government? Seems like it only applies when it’s convenient for them just like all other gop platforms.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says the Republican-controlled state legislature will take steps to "formally nullify" Disney's attempts to thwart a state takeover of its special governing powers. cnn.it/3MOVenV
MORE TROUBLE FOR CLARENCE THOMAS.
JUST IN: Clarence Thomas has claimed income from a defunct real estate firm for almost two decades.
The company — a Nebraska real estate firm launched in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — has not existed since 2006.
The company was replaced by Ginger Holdings, LLC, though Thomas has continued to report between $50,000 and $100,000 annually from the defunct company on his financial disclosure forms.
Along with other errors and omissions over the years, this prompts concerns about his accuracy in reporting his finances to the public. This should be the LAST straw.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
A FULL investigation into his finances must happen and Clarence Thomas should be held accountable. Otherwise our laws or respect for the court means nothing.
IMPEACH CLARENCE THOMAS!
🚨BREAKING: Two people were shot dead and four others were injured during a mass shooting Saturday night at a park in Louisville, Kentucky, according to police. It was the latest instance of gun violence just days after five people were fatally shot at a downtown bank in the city.

We will not use Texas taxpayer dollars to teach our children to hate our country.
This session, we will remove woke agendas from the classroom and get kids back to the basics of learning.
NEW: A Nashville Walgreens employee pulled out a pistol and shot a pregnant woman he says he thought was shoplifting. Doctors performed an emergency c-section; both the woman and her baby are in critical condition. The employee is claiming self-defense.
