(Official Washington Examiner editorial, July 28) 

Cynics assume all politicians are liars, but today’s Democratic Party leadership is particularly prone to dishonesty about policies great and small. In the final part of our series on Democratic lies, inspired by the fantastic fraud perpetrated by the party on the subject of President Joe Biden’s mental acuity, we see that almost the entire Democratic narrative is built on demonstrable falsehoods.

The series has covered climate, immigration, the economy, and crime. On the latter, for example, new FBI protocols deter accurate reporting, so the Biden administration can claim crime is decreasing when everyone knows it is doing nothing of the sort.

Let’s look at a few more ways Democrats twist the truth.

On abortion, they repeatedly accuse former President Donald Trump of supporting a “national ban.” But even the stories to which they link for proof, on which the headlines don’t match the contents, report Trump saying, “It shouldn’t be a federal issue; it’s a state issue.” The real abortion extremists are the 210 out of 212 House Democrats who voted against requiring medical personnel to try to save the lives of babies born alive, breathing the air of day, after botched abortions.

Nevada Senator Harry Reid will meet with Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland TODAY, March 17, 2016 at 4 p.m. in room S.224 of the Capitol.

On Afghanistan, U.S. generals say Biden has been lying ever since the U.S. military withdrawal was botched. He says they recommended complete withdrawal when they didn’t and insists his administration followed their advice on how to proceed, which, again, it didn’t. Biden also claimed in last month’s debate that no American troops died on his watch despite the 13 deaths in Afghanistan, but that may have been senility rather than a deliberate lie.

On voting rights, Democrats repeat almost weekly the canard that Republicans have engaged in “voter suppression,” even though almost every time a Republican election integrity law is passed, voter participation goes not down but up. The caterwauling about Georgia’s voting reforms in 2021, which resulted in higher turnout and shorter wait times, is a good example….
