Despite Ted Cruz’s claims, Planned Parenthood terrorist wasn’t transgender

Despite Ted Cruz’s claims, Planned Parenthood terrorist wasn’t transgender

A county clerk in El Paso County, Colorado just proved that Ted Cruz’s claim that Planned Parenthood terrorist Robert Lewis Dear is transgender is demonstrably false.

According to The Gazette:

Ryan Parsell, El Paso County’s chief deputy clerk and recorder, said his office incorrectly recorded Dear’s gender in October 2014, leading to the issuance of both a driver’s license and voter’s registration card erroneously identifying him as a woman.

“The Clerk and Recorder’s Office processes over 500,000 transactions a year,” Parsell said. “Mistakes are going to be made, and it is a reminder to us of the important job that we do to see that a mistake made by us has had national implications.”

The driver’s license was corrected shortly after Dear received the erroneous one in the mail.
