🧵 Washington Post awards @RepJayapal two Pinocchios (should have been four!) for her false claim that ‘the majority of the country’ supports federal funding for abortion: washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/… 1/4 
From the @washingtonpost fact check:
"We’re often wary of polls commissioned by advocacy groups. In this case, Jayapal is relying on a poll done for a group that wants more public funding of abortions. The outcome of polls often depends greatly on the framing of questions." 2/4

Reality → The majority of Americans agree: Our taxpayer dollars should not go to pay for abortions

Jayapal doubled down on her misleading comments when she claimed she isn't suggesting putting a “repeal” of the Hyde Amendment in any spending bills.
But in reality, NOT including the amendment would actually amount to a repeal, reports @YahooNews: news.yahoo.com/abortion-emerg… 4/4
