Matthew Yglesias: The 45th #MarchForLife was a pro-Trump political rally?

If we’re playing this game, shouldn’t it be noted that there was no “Women’s March” until after Hillary Clinton had lost to Donald Trump? So doesn’t that prove the inaugural Women’s March (and this weekend’s as well) was really a big anti-Trump protest?

Matthew Yglesias didn’t agree with Dan McLaughlin’s assessment of the March for Life vs. the Women’s March.

The contrast between the prayerful March for Life & the pervasive vulgarity of the Women's March is striking if you have seen a lot of images from both.

So the 45th annual March for Life actually was a political rally in support of Donald Trump? That’s one hot take.

Matt, you’re better than this. This is brazenly disingenuous.

Really, he’s not better than this.

Yes, an annual march that's been happening every year since 1974 has really been a rally in support of Donald Trump this whole time. You've finally cracked the code. https://t.co/jDDduZxQVA

March for Life has been happening every year since 1974#WomensMarch started the day Trump became POTUS.

Cosmic pundit brain: the March that has existed for 4 decades is about Donald Trump; the one that started last year as a response to Donald Trump is not. https://t.co/luM1Ms4aH0

March for Life:
-Been happening for decades
-Open to all who share the central message (pro-life)

Women's March
-As new as Trump is
-Closed to pro-Israel, pro-Trump, pro-life, & virtually anyone who disagrees with ANY current progressive ideas, even if pro-women

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize people all of a sudden became pro life when Donald Trump became president. You’re an idiot. https://t.co/LC6XRaIL0X

This is what nuclear weapons grade stupid looks like. The #MarchforLife has taken place year in year out to bring attention to the importance that every life matters regardless of anyone’s political POV. #ProLife https://t.co/8aqwI6B4Oo

Maybe we all just misunderstood.

People are lambasting him for saying this, but they all miss that he's correct.

The vulgar and insulting Women's March, which does not speak for all women much less society at large, is a massive in-kind contribution to the Trump 2020 campaign. #WhyTrumpWon https://t.co/BPhGoxlDUD
