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.

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.

On Israel, presidential heir apparent Kamala Harris on July 25 echoed the full-time Democratic narrative that Israel is responsible for an unacceptable “scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians … with over 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity,” even though the ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths is lower than in any war the vice president might name and the people stealing food aid are the terrorists.

On Republican corporate tax policy, almost every Democratic official in Washington blames then-House Speaker Paul Ryan’s corporate income tax cuts for starving the government of revenue and harming the poor. The fact is that in 2017, the last year before the cuts, receipts from those taxes amounted to $230 billion but now have risen to $410 billion. The Democratic narrative is pure bunk. On the other hand, Democrats’ targeted sweetheart tax breaks for left-leaning industries or politically strong banks, included in Biden’s various budget boondoggles, are costing the federal government $650 billion in a 10-year span, according to data from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.

In years past, Democrats, including Harris, pushed flagrantly dishonest narratives on supposedly racially oriented violent policing, which now they have gone mum on because it makes them look weak on crime.

This litany of Democratic lies could continue indefinitely. The late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid once shrugged off his utter falsehood that presidential candidate Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for 10 years. There wasn’t a grain of truth in it. But Reid insouciantly noted, “They can call it whatever they want — Romney didn’t win, did he?”

It was a cardinal statement of amorality. The lie worked so what’s not to like? Democrats increasingly care only if they win, and they don’t care how many lies they tell to do it.
