PolitiFact rated a claim made by Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) during a hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as "false." Harris claimed Kavanaugh characterized birth control as abortion-inducing drugs during his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
On Friday, Harris tweeted an 11-second clip of Kavanaugh in which he says, "Filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objected to." The California senator jumped on the remarks, claiming "this is a dog whistle for going after birth control."
