VIDEO: Checking on Sen. Ron Johnson’s ‘Birthright’ Claims


Sen. Ron Johnson supports President Trump’s attempt to redefine the interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution—spreading misinformation in the process.

Johnson and Trump falsely claim that the United States is nearly alone in providing citizenship to all who are born here, regardless of their class, race, or status. In fact, dozens of countries do the same.

If Trump and Johnson want to start reimagining the original intent of Constitutional amendments, Founding Editor Pat Kreitlow has a suggestion on where to start.
