A false article published Monday by Newsweek has spawned a series of articles repeating a false claim about Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a potential Trump pick to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Newsweek originally claimed that a charismatic Catholic group called People of Praise, which Barrett is reportedly a member of, inspired the dystopian novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. Newsweek later corrected the article, admitting “the book’s author, Margaret Atwood, has never specifically mentioned the group as being the inspiration for her work.”
