Over the weekend, talk radio host Mark Levin continued to lash out at people questioning Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s constitutional eligibility for the presidency, proclaiming that the “birther attack”–brought back by the left-wing Washington Post–was “flopping” against the Texas senator.

On Saturday, Levin shared a post from the Des Moines Register with a headline declaring “Some GOPers so dislike Trump they’d rather see Clinton win.” “Uh oh,” Levin quipped, “this may explain [the] desperate birther tactic.”

On Sunday night, he shared a post from The Right Scoop reporting on Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s comment on Face the Nation that the Supreme Court will have to decide whether Cruz is a “natural born citizen.” “Birthers stuck on stupid,” Levin said.

On Monday morning, Levin shared one more link with the terse line: “Birther attack flopping.”

The link in that update is a story from BuzzFeed’s Rosie Gray, which asserts: “What’s worked on other Republicans doesn’t seem to be working on Cruz in Iowa, where supporters say Trump’s birther-style questions about the senator’s eligibility aren’t affecting their enthusiasm at all.”

Gray’s story is dated January 7th–before Breitbart News confronted the Cruz campaign about a document showing both his parents listed on a Canadian electors’ list as purported voters, prompting the campaign to release his mother’s Delaware birth certificate. Soon after, the left-wing site Talking Points Memo revealed it also found the document revealed by Breitbart News and had approached Cruz in 2013–then chambered the story until he potentially became a 2016 contender.
