“I want to see your birth certificate,” Whoopi Golberg says about Texas senator who was born in Canada
“The View” panel took on the first official presidential candidate, Ted Cruz, on Monday when a guest co-host rallied for a birther movement to haunt the Canadian-born politician’s campaign.
“He was not born in America, he was born in Canada, so how can he run for president?” comedian Michelle Williams said. “I’m a Ted Cruz birther — I want to see the birth certificate.”
Rosie Perez blasted the Texas senator for his denial of climate change, and backed California Governor Jerry Brown’s criticism of Cruz as being unfit for the role of president during a “Meet the Press” appearance on Sunday.
“For you to say, as a Republican, him not being born in this country is the least of his problems is insane, insane; I love you darling, but with the birthers and all of that stuff, they made it a huge issue,” Perez said to co-host Nicolle Wallace.
Whoopi Goldberg suggested it’s not fun being on the receiving end of the birther movement, like President Obama has been, and chimed in: “I want to see your birth certificate.”
Cruz announced his run for president via Twitter on Sunday night, and formally announced his run at Liberty University Monday.
If Cruz had just jumped over the Southern Border Fence, these libs would not DARE to say one word about his eligibility.
....citizenship “at birth” of one born outside of the United States to only one citizen-parent, that such citizen parent have resided in the United States for not less than ten years, at least five of which were after the age of fourteen (8 U.S.C. §1401(a)(7)) (1958 ed.)
We all know 0bama’s mother didn’t met this requirement.
Hey Whoopi, you dumb bi$#%, why weren’t you asking the same question when Obozo was running? Now who’s racist? And while you’re at it, please explain to me why your man is the first in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually every record from his past. Oh...and his wife, too. You, you vacuous moron, have the IQ of dust.
My MIL watches the View and she swears by it. 93 yo Democrat. She will believe every word.
He’s a conservative, they would scream it from the rooftops.
I’m confused. Why would the leftist morons (like Whoopi) want to see Ted Cruz’s birth certificate....when they already know that he wasn’t born in the US. It’s not like he’s hiding that fact. Are they so stupid that they can’t gleen the logic here? (yes, of course they are...they’re leftists)
My Mom used to watch it, she enjoyed the interviews with celebrities, but then stopped because she just couldnt stand listening to those trained Democrat loon seals anymore
ssf;
Just finished signing up to volunteer and sent my first donation. Here we go the squealing from the left should be fun to watch.
What do you mean “how can Obama’s mother be a citizen when she was only 18 and Hawaii had just become a state”. Your post makes no sense. First off, a 5 year old is as much a citizen as an 18 year old as an 80 year old.
Second off, Obama’s mother was born in Kansas. Her living in Hawaii had zero to do with her citizenship.
I find it pretty funny that all those howling that Obama was born in Kenya aren’t going to say a word about Cruz being born in Canada.
For Nanzi, hypocrite is a "selfie"
No wonder she is opposed to it !
My post making no sense, really Obama’s mother being born in Kansas and his being born in Hawaii. Really what if Obama was born when his mother was really 14 after she had been raped by Frank Marshall Davis, Hawaii was not a state. If she was 18 and Hawaii had just become a state. His father was not an American Citizen if it is to be considered to be Obama Sr. Patriarchy (father’s citizenship)determines citizenship of a child. In terms Obama should not be president. Neither should Cruz, but it does not matter what I think. It is the US Constitution - natural born citizen - both parents being of age 21 and adult citizens for a minimum of 2 years. The constitution trumps naturalization. Look at Samuel Pufendorf’s Two Books of the Elements of Universal Jurisprudence, whereby the concept of natural birth were discussed as well the discussion that the founding fathers deemed in the development of the US Constitution. Also look at Law of the Nations as the development of the uS Constitution. When I served this country in the military, I took an oath to the US Consitution not a president. Something is wrong in this country when back to back questions regarding citizenship status of two candidates for president, one serving and one wanting to serve.
I have stated get ready for those to scream about Cruz’s mother being from Delaware and his father from Cuba, but having immigrated through Texas, due to the oil industry. Was Cruz’s father naturalized in Texas?
like I sad get ready for people to question Cruz’s allegiances o, even though he renounced his Canadian citizenship just one year ago.
I am a conservative.
What the dumb females on the View don’t realize is that unlike them, conservatives would be the first to question and then investigate whether or not a candidate was constitutionally qualified.
As opposed to liberal Democrats who would lie and obfuscate in order to elect their candidate.
They should question Obama’s citizensip. What is Barak hiding regarding his birth certificate?
gee, thanks for clearing that up.
here is Emil de Vattel in Law of the Nations natural Born citizen Book Chapter 19 section 212 - Of the citizens and natives - The citizens are the members of the civil society, bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes o its own preservation: and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children, and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming in the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
keep in mind the founding fathers were able to converse in the political language of that time period French. Franklin purchased 3 copies of Vattels Law of the Nations to be utilized by the Founding Fathers. Vattel wrote the work in French in 1758. When Alexander Hamilton, wrote in the Federalists Papers #78 about vattel’s work. The concept of Naturalization of Citizens went into effect in 1795. Also keep in mind our courts are based also on the Law of the Nations. samuel Putendorf’s work also influenced America’s Founding Fathers, it too was written in French. Th french Revolution came about by these works too, but France was to weak to survive by fractions and Napoleon rose up in the vaccuum
When my great grandfather came to the United States from Belgium in 1881 he was granted his first papers in the process of naturalization in 1884. However he never became a naturalized citizen as he died in the influenza epidemic in 1903 prior to taking the oath of allegiance to the USA as required since 1795. Family history states he intended to do so, but never finished the process.
One question I have is both Obama and Cruz are graduates of Harvard law school. What is Harvard Law school teaching the legal minds of today. The Constitution does not seem to being even part of the curriculia of the students whom are practicing lawyers and politicians - What is happening?
Fortunately I heard that thanks be to God “The Phew” is going off air soon.
LOL thanx for the chuckle.
“Prepare yourselves for an argument”
I wholeheartedly agree. If his candidacy gains traction, expect it.
