  • On 12 January 2016, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was one of many individuals in attendance at President Obama's final State of the Union address. Davis, who became nationally known over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to gay couples following the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, was the subject of a Free Wood Post article titled President Obama Makes Sure Kim Davis Surrounded By Same-Sex Couples At SOTU: Davis' presence at the event was amiss to many readers, some of whom doubted she was even there. (She was.) Davis last made headlines when she met with the Pope during his 2015 visit to the United States. Later, it emerged that Davis was one of several dozen people at a mass meet-and-greet, and that she hadn't been granted a face-to-face Papal visit. She acquired her ticket to the event under similarly confusing circumstances: Clearly, people were confused about Davis' presence at the address, and Free Wood Post's article exacerbated that confusion. However, the web site on which the claim originated carried the following disclaimer: Previous fake news articles from Free Wood post included claims that Lindsey Graham badmouthed the GOP after dropping out of the 2016 race, that Ted Nugent was placed on suicide watch after learning he was half black, and that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) designated Fox News as a hate group.
