Chris Matthews reported back on December 18th, 2007 that 2008 presidential candidate Barack Obama was born in Indonesia and has an Islamic background.

Yes, but Chrissy said it in an admiring, positive, leg-tingling way, while Trump didn’t say anything at all. Don’t you see how obviously raaaaaccissst that is on Trump’s part?
Bump for reference
What color is there sky in his world? Isn't this a Captain Obvious moment?

Birther Report.. earth shattering news of an “unearthed” video of Chris Matthew that was on MSNBC 7 - 8 years ago.
Their up-to-date journalism is amazing.
“Trump needs to see this.”.....
Trump already knows, in fact he jumped on the “birther” idea back then as well. He’s smart enough to stay at arms length from that one, the media is just waiting.
Send to The Donald...ASAP!!
“what about..that tingle that went up chrises leg??”
I think it was sciatica.
MATTHEWS: So, is Hillary backer Bob Kerrey pretending to sell Obama, but clearly putting the shiv in?
Here is Hillary Clinton defending him and Bob Kerrey: “I think the remarks were very positive. I know Bob. He was being very complimentary of Senator Obama. He was making a point that Senator Obama makes himself all the time, that, because of his upbringing and his heritage, he is, in his view”—“in his view”—catch that line—“very well-suited to communicate with the rest of the world. And he has just himself that he wants to have a particular outreach to the Islamic world. So, I think Senator Kerrey was being, you know, very generous in what he said.”
But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background?
I agree. There is no smoking gun here, at all. Matthews appears to be saying that Hillary's surrogate Bob Kerrey was slyly implying that Obama was born in Indonesia. Matthews is not saying that Obama was born in Indonesia.
As a side note, I have serious doubts about Obama's place of birth, and his background in general. I have been looking for that smoking gun. But this isn't it.
It tends to place the original birther issue on Hillary.
when does he say it was born in Indonesia? Just talks about its Indonesian “roots.”
Tell that to Anderson Cooper
It’s never too late for the Progressives to appologize
Correct. Thank you
See post 33.
Smoking gun? You’ve missed the point entirely.
Trump has been attacked because he did not denounce a person in New Hampshire who questioned Obama’s background, yet here is Mathews saying the exact same thing as the questioner.
If true, Chrissie’s a little late to the party...typical.
