Chelsea Clinton Spreads False Story Claiming Michigan Passed Bill Allowing EMTs to Deny Gay Patients Treatment

Chelsea Clinton falsely tweeted Friday that the Michigan House of Representatives had voted to allow emergency medical providers choice in treating patients, specifically giving EMTs the option to deny treatment to gay patients.

"Absolutely appalling," the former First Daughter tweeted, "Michigan House Passed Bill Allowing EMTs To Refuse Treatment To Gay People."

The story Clinton cited was from a website for the LGBT New Now Next Awards, and was posted in 2014. When followers pointed out the story was old, Clinton deleted her tweet.

Not only was the story old, but the actual premise was deeply flawed. What the Michigan House actually passed was a garden variety Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which would have exempted religious individuals from laws that infringed on their religious beliefs.

Like most state RFRAs, the Michigan bill contained a clause that allows the state to infringe on religious beliefs when there's a "compelling government interest." The preservation of human life is widely considered to qualify, according to legal experts.  ...

The bill Chelsea Clinton's tweet referred to, and condemned, also has a federal equivalent. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was ironically signed by her own father, President Bill Clinton.

 She doesn't strike me as being very bright. And that's not simply because I have political differences with her. This seems to be a pattern of her tweeting or saying something stupid and being  called out by others

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

If Chelsea was a light bulb, she'd be a half watt.

Chelsea is just a chip off of the olde Hillary block re: her ignorance and her penchant for LYING.  Acorn = Tree

I don't think she is. White House staffers did all her research papers, etc., when she was at Stanford, and the sojourn at Oxford was just a vacation on which she didn't do much but shag and drink (much as the Clintons would love to have you believe she was a Rhodes scholar - she wasn't).

I think you spelled "rode" wrong.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
