WorldNetDaily is so averse to applying to Ted Cruz the same presidential “eligibility” standards it imposed on Barack Obama, even WND’s chief birther won’t touch the issue.
Corsi — who promoted the issue so much at WND that he wormed his way onto Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s incompetent “cold case posse” investigating Obama’s eligibility, thus ensuring its investigation would be biased and the outcome predetermined — has been utterly silent on the issue so far. He has said nothing about Cruz’s eligibility on his Twitter account (which he has blocked ConWebWatch from following, though there are plenty of ways around that) since Cruz announced his president run on March 23.
Corsi wrote about Cruz in a March 31 WND article — but it had nothing to do with eligibility. The apparently more pressing issue was the links Cruz’s wife has to the Council on Foreign Relations, a “globalist” group hated by right-wingers like Corsi.
Much of Corsi’s article was dedicated to letting a Cruz spokesman spin away the link, stating that Heidi Cruz was merely a “term member” who worked on a single CFR report and that her contribution to it was “narrowly focused on economic issues.” Corsi also quotes the spokesman saying that Cruz has called CFR “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty.”
Corsi also self-servingly refers to the “2007 bestselling book “The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada,” while not mentioning that he wrote that book or explaining in what universe that book was “bestselling.”
It seems WND has declared a total blackout on reporting on the question of Cruz’s eligibility — and WND’s chief birther is playing along.
