No, This Is Not a Photograph of Rep. Ilhan Omar

Featured on Snopes today: Tulsi Gabbard's photograph, Jeffrey Epstein's phone, and an open-carry ban.

Earlier this week, we received inquiries from readers asking about a story they saw on the Daily Mail with the sensational headline: "Transgender Lobby Forces Sanitary Towel-Maker Always to Ditch Venus Logo from Its Products."

At the heart of the article is the use of the word “forces,” implying that Procter & Gamble did not make the decision freely. The Mail story reported that “the maker of Always sanitary pads has given in to claims of discrimination.”

Reporter Dan MacGuill looked into the facts and found the use of “force” grossly exaggerated.
