He’s Not Going To Get Younger” In Bizarre Strategy Meltdown https://nationalfile.com/chuck-todd-urges-the-white-house-to-make-him-grandpa-biden-hes-not-going-to-change-hes-not-going-to-get-younger-in-bizarre-strategy-meltdown/ Wed, 08 Nov 2023 23:15:25 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=64425 Last Updated on November 8, 2023

NBC News’ Chuck Todd, the former host of Meet the Press, implored Democrats to “make him Grandpa Biden,” in reference to wildly unpopular Democrat Joe Biden, who occupies the White House. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden and a Hunter business crony got subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday in connection to Biden family financial dealings that are jeopardizing national security. Polling from The New York Times and Siena College found President Donald Trump leading Biden in five important swing states in the 2024 election.

Chuck Todd said on MSNBC that “Biden’s problem is age, okay, and he can’t do anything about it.” Todd complained, “And I do think when you look at the way he’s being judged and they’re like, oh, he’s weak on the economy or he’s weak on this, it’s not fair but I think that he’s, everything is seen through the prism of age, and energy for him.”

“Again, politics isn’t always fair. Just because, you know, that isn’t, that just is. How do you change that? I’d be putting him out there more. Let people get comfortable with him. He is who he is. Make him Grandpa Biden and embrace it. Rather than sitting here and pretending, treating him like a Faberge egg, and somehow making it where, you know, it’s like, let it rip. Good, bad and otherwise,” Chuck Todd said in an uninspiring ramble.

“Look, Trump does it. And it’s why any one thing doesn’t always stick to him, in some ways. He gets people used to his behavior. This is one of those cases, I think the White House needs to get more comfortable getting people used to who…Biden is. He’s not going to change. He’s not going to get younger,” Chuck Todd ranted.

Tucker Reveals Fox Parted With Producer Who Made Wannabe Dictator Chyron https://nationalfile.com/tucker-reveals-fox-parted-with-producer-who-made-wannabe-dictator-chyron/ Fri, 16 Jun 2023 18:18:11 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=60426 Last Updated on June 16, 2023

The newest Tucker on Twitter episode that dropped on Tuesday revealed that Fox News parted ways with the producer that created the “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested” Chyron. Tucker called Fox News out for the fact that the woke mob still came after the network despite the efforts of the network to conform to the woke mob.

Tucker informed his viewers that the woke women who run Fox News went ballistic when “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested” flashed following Biden’s arrest of Trump. Tucker revealed the producer who created the chyron parted ways with Fox less than 24 hours after the chyron was flashed. According to Tucker the producer who left Fox worked at the news organization for decades.

Fox’s march to wokeness has accelerated since Tucker’s departure. Fox News recently added an LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH section on their website, filled with videos from woke Democrats explaining how fantastic Pride Month is. ” FOX News Media celebrates the contributions to America by the LGBTQ+ community,” the top of the page reads.

Fox Corp, the company that owns Fox News, recently announced on their website that they have created a Pride inclusion task force with a mission of “Pride’s mission is to cultivate community among FOX LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies, support causes important to the LGBTQ+ community, and foster a work environment where all FOX LGBTQ+ colleagues feel authentic and professionally supported.”

Tucker pointed out that despite the woke ladies running Fox’s best efforts to bow to the liberal mob, the mob still wants no part of Fox News. Tucker used Alexander Vindman’s latest tweet as an example. The tweet read, “It is absolutely unacceptable for American Forces Network @AFNtelevision to carry programming that directly (spuriously) attacks the Commander-in-Chief of American Armed Forces @POTUS. What are you going to do about this @SecDef @DepSecDef @JakeSullivan46?”

Fox News Board Member Paul Ryan’s Ron DeSantis support, combined with Tucker’s departure, has killed the networks’ ratings. Expect Fox’s ratings to continue to slide following Tucker’s latest Tucker on a Twitter episode.

VIDEO: Wendy Rogers Stalker Confronted Over Shady Tactics https://nationalfile.com/video-wendy-rogers-stalker-confronted-over-shady-tactics/ Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:00:45 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=59571 Last Updated on April 28, 2023

In a video posted to Twitter, Arizona activist Kyle Clifton confronts Camryn Sanchez, an AZ Capitol Times reporter embroiled in a stalking scandal following a restraining order filed by Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers. Camryn was caught on a doorbell camera at one of Senator Rogers’ properties and has repeatedly harassed the senator’s neighbors for information about the senator’s whereabouts.

Senator Rogers previously took to Twitter to post photos of the doorbell incident, declaring, “Creepy @azcapitoltimes reporter @CamrynSanchezAZ has been stalking me and my neighbors at my private residences with no explanation. A judge just issued a restraining order against her for her bizarre behavior.”

In the video, Kyle Clifton attempts to contact the reporter to hear her perspective on the incident. He first approaches the office of the Arizona Capitol Times, only to find that they had locked all doors to the building and would not come to the entrance to provide comment. Later, he is able to get in touch with the reporter over the phone and asked her a few pointed questions.

Kyle lead with, “Was it your goal to force Wendy Rogers to get a restraining order on you for publicity?” She briefly replied, “Can’t Comment sorry…and I’m sorry really because I wish I could — very frustrating as a journalist!”

In following up, Mr. Clifton pressed, “Did your publication approve of you going to Wendy’s home?” In response, Mrs. Sanchez refused to comment and referred Clifton to the scheduled hearing later in May, saying that “I really can’t tell you anything except for…actually, I can tell you one thing…the hearing is going to be on May 10th at 1:30 PM in Flagstaff.”

But the interview took an interesting turn when Mr. Clifton asked Sanchez if she could vouch for her own character. He inquired, “Do you have a history of violent behavior?” To which Sanchez replied, “I really can’t comment.”

“You can’t comment on if you have a history of violent behavior?” She replied, “I can’t…” He followed up, “It’s not about your publication, it’s about your personal history…do you have any criminal past or behavior?” Resigned, she insisted, “I really can’t…I would love to say a lot of nice things defending myself but I just can’t.”

Mr. Clifton concluded, “Can you pass along your address so that we can go interview your neighbors and make sure you are not a dangerous individual?” She finished, “I can’t do that. No comment.”

Watch the video below:

Camryn Sanchez and the AZ Capitol Times have no problem stalking and harassing Senator Wendy Rogers and her innocent neighbors, but when pressed to defend their character or provide evidence that they don’t have violent intent or nefarious motive, could not provide any comment.

National File was able to get in touch with Mr. Clifton to get his thoughts on the interaction. Mr. Clifton expressed serious concerns about the behavior of Sanchez and the AZ Capitol Times, declaring, “When you see someone traveling two hours just to go knock on doors and harass your neighbors, just to ask creepy questions, it is borderline violent behavior.”

In reference to her failure to provide character references, Mr. Clifton observed, “I thought her silence was strange. I was asking direct questions about her self image and she was unable to answer those basic questions. Her failure to answer says a lot — if someone was attacking my character, I would want to defend myself right away!”

When asked about what this kind of journalism means for the industry, Mr. Clifton noted that this marks, “A moral decay in journalism as a whole. You are starting to see less journalism and more doxing. Journalism should have integrity and there is no integrity there [at the AZ Capitol Times].”

Fake News: Gizmodo, Media Matters Publish Patently False Stories About National File https://nationalfile.com/fake-news-gizmodo-media-matters-publish-patently-false-stories-about-national-file/ Sun, 19 Mar 2023 13:59:17 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=58874 Last Updated on March 19, 2023

Gizmodo and Media Matters published patently false stories about National File on Friday, claiming that this website is owned and operated by Info Wars founder Alex Jones as part of a grand conspiracy to bypass his bans on Facebook and other Big Tech platforms. The fake news hit piece was apparently spurred by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which took several swipes at National File in a recent write-up calling for patriot media outlets to be censored and shut down.

“Alex Jones Secret Site Gets Around Social Media Bans,” Gizmodo reported Kyle Barr claimed on Friday in a fake news story naming National File as the “secret site” owned and operated by Info Wars and Alex Jones. According to Barr’s fairytale land hit piece, National File is being run by legendary Info Wars founder Alex Jones, to get around the social media bans that Big Tech oligarchs and their government allies have slapped him with.

The claims from Gizmodo are patently false. Despite this, the story was re-run by Yahoo News, even as National File publicly called out Gizmodo’s phony story.

The fake news hit piece from Gizmodo came on the heels of another one from Media Matters, which came just over a week after the Southern Poverty Law Center took aim at National File themselves. But Gizmodo took the lies of Soros-funded Media Matters and the SPLC even further.

The fake news hit pieces against National File are the latest chapter in a long-term campaign by the SPLC and their associates to silence patriot media.

The Gizmodo, Media Matters, and SPLC attacks on National File come as Media Matters also targets nationally-syndicated broadcaster and Died Suddenly producer Stew Peters in another left-wing attack campaign. In a recent broadcast of the Stew Peters Show, Peters skewered Media Matters and its founder, David Brock, dissecting the “empire of lies” that Media Matters sits atop.

Associated Press Fires Journalist Who Erroneously Reported Russia Launched Missiles Into Poland https://nationalfile.com/associated-press-fires-journalist-who-erroneously-reported-russia-launched-missiles-into-poland/ Tue, 22 Nov 2022 18:55:00 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=56422 Last Updated on November 22, 2022

An Associated Press reporter lost his job after erroneously reporting a story about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Following an explosion in Poland on November 15th, the Associated Press jumped to the false conclusion that Russia had launched missiles into the NATO member country.

The report’s basis was reliant upon an anonymous source, allegedly from a senior U.S. intelligence official. Following the AP piece, mainstream media outlets across the world spread the fake news report, adding to anti-Russia sentiments and leading many to call for the United States to take military action against Russia.

On Monday, the Daily Beast reported the Associated Press issued an internal probe into James LaPorta, the investigative reporter who first made the erroneous claims working with the AP.

LaPorta’s contract with the AP was terminated, both the Daily Beast and Washington Post reported.

The AP eventually removed LaPorta’s story, adding an editor’s note admitting the story was erroneously reported and that the missiles were “most likely fired by Ukraine.”

“In earlier versions of a story published November 15, 2022, The Associated Press reported erroneously, based on information from a senior American intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity, that Russian missiles had crossed into Poland and killed two people. Subsequent reporting showed that the missiles were Russian-made and most likely fired by Ukraine in defense against a Russian attack,” the correction reads.

Following an investigation by Poland and NATO, it is believed the missile was a Ukrainian air defense missile.

LaPorta’s original report may not have even met the AP’s own standard for reporting. The Associated Press claims material from anonymous sources can be used if:

“1. The material is information and not opinion or speculation, and is vital to the report.
2. The information is not available except under the conditions of anonymity imposed by the source.

3. The source is reliable, and in a position to have direct knowledge of the information.”

“The AP routinely seeks and requires more than one source when sourcing is anonymous. Stories should be held while attempts are made to reach additional sources for confirmation or elaboration. In rare cases, one source will be sufficient – when material comes from an authoritative figure who provides information so detailed that there is no question of its accuracy,” the AP’s “News Values and Principles” claims.

One AP employee said LaPorta lied to AP editors by claiming a senior manager already vetted his source to give them “the impression that the story’s sourcing had been approved.”

Leftist Former Italian Prime Minister Calls Media Narrative Claiming Italy Is Turning Fascist ‘Absolutely Fake News’ https://nationalfile.com/leftist-former-italian-prime-minister-calls-media-narrative-claiming-italy-is-turning-fascist-absolutely-fake-news/ Tue, 27 Sep 2022 17:44:06 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=54790 Last Updated on September 27, 2022

A leftwing former prime minister of Italy spoke out against the establishment media and their attacks on the newly elected Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni.

Matteo Renzi, who was Italy’s prime minister from 2014-2016, suggested the media’s assertions that Georgia Meloni is a “danger to democracy” or that Italy is facing Fascism is “absolutely fake news.”

“Personally, frankly speaking, I was against Georgia Meloni, so I’m not her best friend…we were and will be rivals always. At the same time, I think that is not a danger for Italian democracy… The idea there is a risk of fascism in Italy is absolutely fake news – she won election particularly because of populism,” Renzi explained on CNN.

WATCH:

As National File previously reported:

Giorgia Meloni, a leading figure of the country’s nationalist and populist movement, is set to become Italy’s first female prime minister ever.

Exit polls from Sunday show Meloni is expected to crush her opponent, a Democrat-aligned politician.

Following news of her probable victory, a speech Meloni gave to the World Congress of Families has spread like wildfire across Conservative social media circles.

Meloni eloquently describes the government’s involvement in the culture war and how she intends to defend traditional, national, religious, and gender identities.

Meloni slammed the establishment for supposedly making the nuclear family an enemy and suggested the regime fears the family “because it defines us.”

“Everything that defines us is now an enemy, so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother, no. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number, because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators,” Meloni said with a fiery tone.

Ohio: NRCC Abandons America First JR Majewski Over Manufactured Rumors About Military Service https://nationalfile.com/ohio-nrcc-abandons-america-first-jr-majewski-over-manufactured-rumors-about-military-service/ Thu, 22 Sep 2022 22:08:04 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=54707 Last Updated on September 22, 2022

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) turned its backs on Ohio Congressional candidate J.R. Majewski weeks ahead of the election.

The leftist-owned mainstream media launched baseless attacks on Majewski, alleging the staunch America First advocate and Trump supporter faked his military service.

An estimated $1 million in advertisement reservations was pulled by the NRCC even though the Left’s attacks against Majewski are simply inaccurate.

AP News requested a “verification of service” from the Air Force in late July.

The Air Force explained the “list of awards and decorations may be incomplete or not up to date” and they did not have full records to accurately conclude Majewski truly did not serve in Afghanistan, despite Axios and leftwing media pushing such a  narrative.

“As far as overseas deployments go, we show one deployment to Qatar from May 2002 to Nov 2002. What he did or where he may have went from that location we don’t have visibility on,” the email reads.

“Full service records for anyone who separated prior to Oct 2004 are at the National Personnel Records Center, which is part of the National Archives,” the email adds.

Read the email by clicking here.

This baseless attack orchestrated by the Democrats seems to have been strategically held for the past two months in hopes of hurting Majewski’s campaign as it is in the final stretch before the November 8th election.

In a Facebook video, Majewski reasserted he did, in fact, serve in Afghanistan, and contested that his opponent, Democrat Marcy Kaptur, who has served in Congress for over 40 years, is slandering him in the same way the Democrat Party slandered former President Donald Trump.

“Over the past 12-16 hours I received multiple death threats, so has my wife, and so have many members of my team. All because Marcy Kaptur and the liberal media are scared that I’m going to win on November 8th. They are scared that Marcy’s 40 years of Democratic demise in the 9th district of Ohio are gonna come to an end,” Majewski said.

“And I served my country, our country proudly. Multiple bases in the Middle East. Multiple bases in Afghanistan. My team and I provided logistical support for fighters on the frontline. And I never believed that I would have to defend my military service. But here I am. This is what politics have come to,” Majewski continued, defending his military record.

“The Democrats are so thirsty to retain their power that they’re willing to attack me. A guy who spends a lot of time supporting veterans. In today’s America, it’s a crime to love your country. It’s a crime to support President Trump. I’m not gonna sit on my hands anymore. I’m not going to be quiet about this. This is a shame. Marcy Kaptur, you should be ashamed of yourself,” the Ohio GOP candidate added, tearfully,

“And that’s all I have to say. I’m going to continue to fight. This country needs fighters. And I’m one of them. And this district elected me to fight for them. And I’m gonna do that.”

“Listen to the signal, and not the noise,” Majewski concluded, encouraging Ohioans to recognize this media hit is a shameful attempt to hurt his election chances.

Pro-War Press Celebrates NATO, Coalition Forces Taking 1.6% of Russian-Occupied Ukraine https://nationalfile.com/pro-war-press-celebrates-nato-coalition-forces-taking-1-6-of-russian-occupied-ukraine/ Tue, 13 Sep 2022 14:36:48 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=54537 Last Updated on September 13, 2022

The pro-war corporate press is justifying the billions of American taxpayer dollars sent to Ukraine by publishing outright propaganda and claiming that the Ukrainians are in the midst of a major military offensive to push the Russians out of the country. In reality, Ukraine’s NATO-backed forces have taken a mere 1.6% slice of Russian-occupied territory, and live maps show corporate media claims couldn’t be further from the truth, as the Russian military and pro-Russian forces are firmly entrenched in the long-contested eastern regions of Ukraine.

Ukraine’s offensive appeared to kick off over the weekend, as fighting heated up, much to the glee of Western media.

According to low estimates, Russia controls over 120,000 square kilometers of internationally recognized Ukrainian territory. This week, the Ukrainians took back a mere 2,000 square kilometers of that area, regaining the equivalent of just about 1.6% of the total area they’ve lost to Russia since the February ground invasion.

According to Western media outlets though, Ukraine has made massive and historic gains and has the Russians on the run. CNN claimed in a Monday report that the Russian military is in the midst of a “collapse” in northeastern Ukraine, where the bulk of recent hostilities has taken place.

That report was echoed by a chorus of other mockingbird media outlets, who have all championed American intervention in Ukraine, be it financial or physical.

In a quote widely lauded by the corporate press, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was an actor before he entered politics, taunted Russia and President Vladimir Putin amidst the supposed Ukrainian offensive.

The Russian military is “demonstrating the best it can do – showing its back,” Zelenskyy said on Monday. “They made a good choice to run.”

The open propaganda has raised alarms, and many online have speculated that American and Western media outlets are portraying Russian forces as weak and Ukraine on the cusp of victory in hopes of goading the public into signing off on further intervention. That has prompted widespread concerns that, if the international liberal order has its way, the situation could spiral out of control and ensnare the entire civilized world in conflict.

Despite the tough talk from Zelenskyy, the eastern regions of his nation remain under siege by Russian forces, as well as by the ranks of pro-Russian separatists made up of Ukrainian citizens.

As Western corporate media has neglected to report, legions of Ukrainian citizens are opposing their own government and military and siding with the Russians.

Since 2014, following the Soros-sponsored color revolution that overthrew Ukraine’s elected government, the nation’s Donbas region has sought to separate itself from Ukraine, and join Russia. At one point, a near-unanimous vote was cast by the region’s residents, with well over 95% of them voting to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation.

Donbas has split into two “Republics” with their own governments and military forces, Donetsk and Luhansk.

According to current figures, America alone has sent more than $40 billion worth of unaccountable taxpayer monies to Ukraine to support its fight against Russia. Increasingly, politicians and media figures have begun calling for further intervention, up to and including air support and boots on the ground.

Several media reports have emerged touting American leftists who have gone to Ukraine to fight for what they’ve been told by the media and the Biden Administration is a just cause. Additionally, there is growing speculation, fueled by eye-witness reports, that actual NATO and American soldiers are on the ground, fighting the Russians in Ukraine.

According to a shocking report issued by The Stew Peters Show back in June, the Biden-backed Ukrainian Nazi Azov Battalion massacred American volunteers, burning them alive as Ukrainian forces retreated from the Russian advance on Mariupol.

No foreign volunteers were to be left alive and at risk of being captured, Ukrainian authorities ordered.

Edward Szall, who joined Stew Peters for the horrifying news segment, dubbed the openly-Nazi Ukrainian Azov Battalion “Biden’s ISIS.”

U.S. Capitol Police arrested a group of 17 House democrats protesting outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

The Democrats took part in a planned “civil disobedience” protest, pushing back against the recent SCOTUS ruling which overturned Roe v. Wade.

Video footage posted to Twitter shows a grimacing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez pretending to be handcuffed while she is escorted off by police.

The other politicians arrested include prominent figures in the far-Left movement such as: Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.), Rep.

The Capitol Police posted to Twitter that they “made a total of 34 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307).”

Rep. Ilhan Omar defended her act of civil disobedience on Twitter, despite her arrest. “Today I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action with my fellow Members of Congress outside the Supreme Court. I will continue to do everything in my power to raise the alarm about the assault on our reproductive rights!” she tweeted.

The politicians refused to listen to the Capitol Police’s warnings that they will be arrested. The Capitol Police’s Twitter account detailed the chain of events.

“Demonstrators are starting to block First Street, NE. It is against the law to block traffic, so officers are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests.” the Capitol Police tweeted at 1:18 PM EST.

They gave their “standard three warnings” before making the arrests.

Ohio AG Questions Validity Of Viral 10-Year-Old Abortion Story https://nationalfile.com/ohio-ag-questions-validity-of-viral-10-year-old-abortion-story/ Tue, 12 Jul 2022 23:49:40 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=53533 Last Updated on July 13, 2022

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost told Fox News his office has heard “not a whisper” about the widely publicized story on a 10-year-old girl who was allegedly raped and traveled across state lines to receive an abortion.

Following the SCOTUS decision on Dobbs v. Jackson which overturned Roe v. Wade, Ohio’s trigger laws banning abortions went into effect. These laws allegedly forced a 10-year-old rape victim to travel to Indiana for an abortion. However, Yost questioned the story’s validity.

“I know our prosecutors and cops in this state, there’s not one of them that wouldn’t be turning over every rock in their jurisdiction if they had the slightest hint that this occurred there,” Yost told Fox News’ Jesse Watters.

Suggesting the story may not be true, Yost explained there is no record of any 10-year-old requesting a rape kit from the Ohio state crime lab.

“Any case like this, you’re going to have a rape kit, you’re going to have biological evidence, and you would be looking for DNA analysis, which we do most of the DNA analysis in Ohio. There is no case request for analysis that looks anything like this.”

WATCH:

The first news outlet to publish the story is The Indianapolis Star. The Star published the article on July 1 with abortion activist and Doctor Caitlin Bernard being the only source cited in it.

Bernard alleges she was contacted four days earlier by an Ohio “child abuse doctor” who claimed a 10-year-old child was six weeks pregnant and seeking an abortion.

According to Ohio law, the doctor who claimed to have had the 10-year-old as a patient would be legally required to notify law enforcement that the child was raped.

There is no such report in record. Ohio law explicitly says physicians must report any case where a child is “suffering any physical or mental wound [or] injury.”

Yost explained how the Ohio doctor either does not exist and the story is fabricated, or the doctor committed a crime by not reporting the story to law enforcement.

“We don’t know who the originating doctor in Ohio was, if they even exist. But the bottom line is, it is a crime — if you’re a mandated reporter — to fail to report.”

The story exploded across social media and even President Biden referenced it during a speech bashing trigger laws in red states like Ohio.

“She was forced to have to travel out of the state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life,” the president said.

“Imagine being that little girl. I’m serious, just imagine being that little girl. Ten years old,” Biden added.

The Washington Post, Snopes, and the New York Post unsuccessfully attempted to verify the story.

Conservative journalist Megan Fox was the first to push the narrative that the Ohio story may be fake news.

Fox noted how the Indiana doctor, Caitlin Bernard, who rushed to the media to cover this story has been active in media appearances for years.

In 2017, Bernard was featured in a New York Times piece on abortion. Before the Ohio story, Bernard was featured in three separate media outlet’s story where she dramatically reacted to the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling.

Before the Dobbs decision, Bernard also gave comments for a June 19th Politico article about abortion.

https://twitter.com/MeganFoxWriter/status/1544426366837342208?s=20&t=KOOpzwRgOFndVuMFSmQ8lg

As the Conservative journalist who detailed Bernard’s media appearances noted, no local Ohio news outlets reported the story.

Stay tuned to National File for any updates.

Update 7/13: 
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost changed his tune after news was released that a Columbus, Ohio man was charged for impregnating a 10-year-old girl on Wednesday. The Ohio AG released a statement which said: “We rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets.”
