California Representative Katie Porter got called out after her office incorrectly labeled her as the only working single mother currently serving in Congress in what appears to be a fundraising email.
Natalie Johnson, the communications director for Representative Nancy Mace who also happens to be a single mom working in Congress, quickly responded to the claim in a tweet on Monday.

The email states, “I am the only single working mother of young kids serving in Congress. I understand what it’s like to have a million meetings in one day (that I’m probably already late for) while also balancing childcare, school schedules, going to the grocery store, and so much more.”
Johnson tweeted out a screenshot of the email along with the caption, “Fact check: 100% false” and signed the tweet as “the employee of another single working mother of young kids serving in Congress.”
Porter’s office has not yet responded to the tweet.
