First it was Face book. Now it was Tom Cotton. Make up your mind. I don't tweet either. I am not going to spend my time looking for your benefit. Did you ever think that whichever you looked at either Tweet or Facebook was cut and pasted from a source or the same source that I used. Is that beyond your thought process. I thought tweets were only a couple lines so I don't know how that could be tweeted.

I hope you liked your little self satisfaction event.

It was originally tweeted by Tom Cotton (over several tweets) and has been repeated all over facebook.

Regardless, when you post something you didn't write yourself, you provide a link.

Republicans Tried to Sneak Abortion Restrictions into the Coronavirus Bill

From your list of links:

According to conservative media, some top Republicans believed a stipulation in the House bill requiring the government to reimburse private laboratories doing coronavirus testing could effectively overturn the Hyde Amendment by establishing a government funding stream not subject to the restrictions. In response, anti-choice lawmakers insisted on including language in the legislation that would reaffirm the principles of the amendment.

No real American should trust a Democrat.

Those are about the prior bill, not the current stimulus bill. Here’s a discussion about the current bill, pointing out that it was the Republicans who inserted a provision related to abortion:

In other words, no double-dipping. It make sense.

Tahuyaman, if you're not going to take the time to make even a modest attempt to find out what you're talking about, save yourself the embarrassment and take a pass on the thread.

The Democrats tried to insert funding for abortion. Period.

The Democrats tried to insert funding for abortion. Period.

Lol...no, they did not. Period.

There are plenty of legitimate issues to criticize Dems over without resorting to fiction.

You've fallen for fake news.

If it is posted by Tom Cotton is must be fake?

It is not double dipping. Medicaid funding and the new funding authorized on this bill are for two entirely different purposes. The fact that the Republicans didn’t try to exclude for profit healthcare providers that get Medicaid funding from this bill proves that that was not their concern. They simply wanted a back-door way to prevent Planned Parenthood from getting access to this funding. They, not the Democrats, chose to write abortion providers into the bill.
