The “unbiased fact-checkers” who rush to defend President Biden need everybody to know “The US nonetheless exists.” PolitiFact, Lead Tales, Related Press, and USA At present all pounced on a TikTok video claiming Biden signed away American sovereignty lately throughout his go to to Mexico at a summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.

On January 3, PolitiFact’s Samantha Putterman summarized: 

Does the USA now not exist? Are you studying this from a defunct nation?

No, however that’s what one viral video spreading throughout the web claims. 

“Do you know that the USA of America as you realize it now not exists?” an individual asks in a broadly shared on Fb video. The declare, which has amassed 3,600 shares on Fb, debuted on TikTok earlier than migrating to different platforms. 

“And I don’t imply this theoretically. On Jan. 10, 2023, whereas nobody was paying consideration, Joe Biden signed away our sovereignty as a nation.”

Fb flagged this put up with a warning from all three fact-checkers — in case you thought America didn’t exist.

The doc, a “Declaration of North America,” is a type of “shared objectives” statements leaders subject after a gathering. It started with a joint pledge on “Range, Fairness, and Inclusion,” noting the leaders “reiterated their joint dedication to guard civil rights, promote racial justice, broaden protections for LGBTQI+ people and ship extra equitable outcomes to all.” In addition they singled out “Indigenous Peoples.” No “reality checkers” puzzled if “DEI” is definitely the other of inclusive or equitable.

AP’s Graph Massara defined:

The declaration isn’t binding — or wherever close to that excessive.

“This announcement is mainly completely satisfied discuss cooperation between the three governments and creates no new authorized obligations,” stated Walter Olson, a senior fellow on the Cato Institute who research constitutional legislation….

“It’s true that when precise treaties are written and ratified there may be results on U.S. sovereignty. That may be an space of concern,” Olson stated. “However no new treaty is being created right here.”

Treaties should be ratified by the U.S. Senate. On its “Hoax Alert,” Lead Tales added:

Nor does it imply, as the lady within the video claims on the 1:30 mark, that legislation enforcement personnel in the USA are “changing into mercenaries, working for a non-sovereign who’s paying them to regulate us and cease us from securing our rights, freedoms and borders.” The DNA is an aspirational dedication — the sort that generally comes out of conferences amongst world leaders.

Now we have little doubt the “reality checkers” are right, solely that they’ve an beautiful shared sensitivity to misinformation dangerous to the Democrat aspect.
