Hillary Pushes Kamala’s Previously DEBUNKED LIES About Kavanaugh

Hillary Clinton took to Twitter today to push one of Kamala’s ALREADY DEBUNKED lies about Brett Kavanaugh:

I want to be sure we’re all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearings last week. He referred to birth-control pills as “abortion-inducing drugs.” That set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too.

Should it, though?

Kavanaugh didn’t use that term because he misunderstands the basic science of birth control—the fact that birth control prevents fertilization of eggs in the first place. He used that term because it’s a dog whistle to the extreme right.

See… she’s getting this nearly word for word from a LIE Kamala pushed earlier:

Kavanaugh chooses his words very carefully, and this is a dog whistle for going after birth control. He was nominated for the purpose of taking away a woman’s constitutionally protected right to make her own health care decisions. Make no mistake – this is about punishing women. pic.twitter.com/zkBjXzIvQI

But Kamala has already been SLAMMED for selectively editing this video.

In fact, the Washington Post gave her “four Pinnochios” for it:

Some might argue that it’s a judgment call, open to legal interpretation, as to whether Kavanaugh “uncritically” used a term that riles advocates of abortion rights.

But a plain reading of Kavanaugh’s answer during the hearings shows that it is broadly consistent with his written opinion. One can question why he used the phrase “abortion-inducing drugs” rather than “abortion-inducing products” or “abortifacients.” But it’s pretty clear from the context that he was quoting the views of the plaintiffs rather than offering a personal view.

Harris’s original tweet, with the “they say” language removed, was slightly mitigated by the second tweet a day later, providing the full context. But there was no acknowledgment by Harris that the original tweet was misleading. She earns Four Pinocchios — and her fellow Democrats should drop this talking point.

Democrats should drop this talking point.

But Hillary didn’t just refuse to “drop it” – she added to it:

When Kavanaugh called birth control “abortion-inducing drugs,” he made it clear that safe and legal abortion isn’t the only fundamental reproductive right at grave risk if he is confirmed. Access to birth control is, too.

Imagine an America in which women are barred from getting IUDs or birth control pills, and doctors are criminalized for prescribing them. It’s an America in which women would be punished for insisting on being full and equal partners in society.

Sen. @kamalaharris asked Brett Kavanaugh last week: “Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?” He said he was not. Because there are none.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 12, 2018

Let’s be clear: Women have just as much right as men to make the most personal health decisions without government interference. We are equal citizens and we will insist on nothing less in this country.

Please call your senators and relay the message: (202) 224-3121

Let’s be clear (she really likes saying that, doesn’t she?) Hillary Clinton is completely and totally full of sh*t, and has absolutely NO QUALMS pushing a total LIE.

Shocking, I know.
