'There were many fine people on both sides', said the bigoted moron about a side that included the chanters of 'the Jews will not replace us.'

Margaret Sanger, the founder of the organization that became Planned Parenthood, ruffled some feathers in her day, namely for her vocal support of birth control and women’s reproductive rights. We have previously examined multiple claims about her.

An outspoken activist, Sanger has also been a popular target for misattribution and fake quotes.

One such phrase is currently being shared on social media. A post alongside an image of Sanger claims that in 1922 she said the following: "Slav, Latin and Hebrew immigrants are human weeds...a deadweight of human waste. Blacks, soldiers and Jews are a menace to race."

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

Our ruling

An image circulating on social media claims Sanger said, "Slav, Latin and Hebrew immigrants are human weeds...a deadweight of human waste. Blacks, soldiers and Jews are a menace to race," in 1922.

The closest quotation we could find was from a 1923, not 1922, New York Times article, and it doesn’t even come close to the phrase in the meme.

Margaret Sanger did leave behind a complicated legacy and, at times, said some outlandish things – but she never said this.

This is Pants on Fire!

You have an award worthy ability to find data already so far out of context and then mangle them to fit your altered mindset it's astounding.
Surely you are aware the narcissistic crook you supported for the last 5 or more years faking as the president of the united states made every. single. decision, all of them based on the sole impact on his political career future and his unnatural desire to stay in that seat.

His actions the last year proves that nothing he did, or made decisions on didn't pass through his mind first about what it would mean to him, and him alone. He proved without the slightest doubt that he's deranged, and did every thing in his power to keep himself in office. He was first in every thought, deed and decision. When we have someone so self absorbed and criminal in a place of power, there is no hope until they are gone.

May tRump suffer long term covid horribly. But I wouldn't be surprised if his covid thing was an act.

I don't even feel bad on wishing that on him. And that makes me sad.
For myself.
