WorldNetDaily has been pushing the Trump Regime Media line on President Trump’s SAVE America Act. For instance:
- ‘Supersedes everything else’: Trump won’t sign any other bills until SAVE America Act is passed
- Progress! Sen. Mike Lee says ‘we’ve turned kind of a corner’ on SAVE America Act
- ‘Weak and ineffective’: Trump targets Republican senators who won’t take this single action to solve airport chaos and pass SAVE America Act
- Viral video skewers SAVE America Act critics for hypocrisy
Bob Unruh joined in with a March 25 article:
Democrats are on video claiming over and over and over that American citizens will be unable to vote should the plan, called the SAVE America Act, become law.
Their chant is all about “birth certificates”:
Their claims are that Americans will be unable to vote because they will be unable to document their identities under the law.
Claims have gone so far as to suggest women who marry, and change their last names to the spouse’s, will not be allowed to vote because their name won’t match their birth certificate.
Actually, the proposal provides a long list of options for being able to vote, including a U.S. passport, a birth certificate, an “Enhanced Driver’s License,” a U.S. military ID, a military service record, any federal, state or tribal-issued photo ID card that documents citizenship, and even a consular report for children born abroad to American parents.
Townhall reported, “The Democrat hive mind got their new marching orders to fight the SAVE Act. Their bold new strategy? Go on national television and play completely stupid. Watch this unbelievable montage of elites pretending that finding a birth certificate is an impossible task.”
It seems that Unruh has forgotten that his employer spent several years demanding that Barack Obama released his birth certificate — then, when he actually did release it, denied it was real and was actually a computer creation (despite notable evidence to the contrary). In other words, WND was part of the right-wing hive mind with its own anti-Obama marching orders. Unruh didn’t explain how WND’s demand for Obama’s birth certificate differs from its current insistence that birth certificates for voters aren’t a big deal.
What we see here is a double standard on WND’s part. It’s WND’s responsibility to demonstrate otherwise.
