Congresswoman Slammed With A Hard Fact Check

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.

Fact check: 100% false.

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.
