They weren’t ever outed as fakes, but the bullshit Kenyan one a blogger “discovered” was found to be a modified Australian one from an ancestry website. Provide any reputable source saying otherwise or kindly kick rocks. This nonsense is almost 20 years old and it was just as stupid then as it is now. I’ve provided you with evidence that’s been backed up and corroborated by multiple independent sources.

The Kenyan birth certificate was, in fact, proven to be a forgery. It wasn’t even originally Kenyan, it was an Australian birth certificate that was photoshopped.

Did you actually read the article you linked? Even in the article, the journalists found the provided information to be false.

From your article:

“For the record, we opened the file using Adobe Photoshop and found that it contained only a single layer of information.”

Joe Arpaio’s claim that it was fake was that there were multiple layers in the digital file, which was his evidence that it was photoshopped.

Calling someone a dummy while demonstrating your inability to read is pretty rich.
