Washington Post’s fact-checking department is running interference for President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services nominee Xavier Becerra, claiming he didn’t actually sue a group of nuns during his tenure as attorney general of California.
“Biden’s pick for HHS sued the Trump administration, not a group of nuns,” the “fact check” headline definitively states.
The corporate media outlet’s response follows an exchange between Becerra and Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota on Wednesday, in which the attorney claimed he “never sued the nuns, any nuns.”
