Hours after 2016 Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina spared with NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd over the Planned Parenthood videos, Sunday’s NBC Nightly News similarly went to bat for the abortion provider against Fiorina as White House correspondent Kristen Welker scolded Fiorina for promoting videos with “doctored and unrelated footage.”

Welker’s claim came as part of her report on the 2016 campaign for the newscast following the six minutes of coverage on the final day of Pope Francis’s first visit to the United States with weekday anchor Lester Holt stepping into anchor Sunday’s program.
