YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter the Supreme Court’s draft overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to Politico, conservatives immediately jumped on the opportunity to focus on how and who leaked the draft to distract from women losing a fundamental right. Antiabortion groups and mainstream media outlets also hopped on the trend and even floated baseless conspiracy theories and misinformation that a clerk from a liberal justice leaked the document. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

“Almost as soon as Politico published its explosive story on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's leaked draft opinion, which strongly suggests the court is about to overturn Roe v. Wade, conservatives responded by focusing not on the content of the news, but how it was obtained.
Online Monday night, there were nearly immediate calls to find and punish the leaker. In a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell insistently told reporters that the prospect of recriminalizing abortion was "not the story for today," but rather the supposedly dangerous precedent of the leak.
Also on Tuesday afternoon, Operation Rescue, the notorious anti-abortion activist group responsible for some of the movement's most outrageous tactics, joined the fray, issuing a press release declaring that the leak had most likely come from the office of Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
That claim traced back to pretty thin sourcing: a Twitter thread posted by a Republican political strategist who, about an hour after Politico published its story Monday night, suggested he'd solved the mystery: One of Sotomayor's staffers had joined hundreds of classmates in opposing the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and, at an earlier point, had been quoted in Politico regarding a case on which he'd assisted. “
