So, on Friday the Grand Wizard of Birtherism against President Obama admitted that birtherism was bunk, not by apologizing for his prominent role in the racist campaign — no, that would have been too right — but by suggesting that he deserved credit for dousing the flames he’d fanned.
This man is so low that he’s subterranean.
Donald Trump said Friday: “Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy.”
That was a lie. There is no evidence Hillary Clinton and her campaign either started or took part in the efforts to question the location of Barack Obama’s birth.
He continued: “I finished it.”
That was also a lie. Well after it had been established that the president was born in this country, Trump continued to traffic in speculation to the contrary, all the way up to and including this year.
Then Trump said, without elaboration or allowing questions: “President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period.”

Lol...pathetic. This is what they have been reduced to. I keep hearing Conan speak and this is the part about the “Lamentations of de womyn”...
No one cares.
Charles M. Blow keep dredging it up and people have had enough.
If this is their attack on Trump - they will lose - and lose badly.
The MSM will continue this BS until it is obvious the strain not working
“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated.
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we ignored it.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama even told us on his website he was born a British subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
They believe their hatred of Trump and the US will propel them to victory.
..strategy
Mr Trump has now said O was born in USA, but he has not provided us any evidence of that assertion
and all the evidence we have out here (and its a good number of things) points to O’s having been born in Kenya
what new evidence, if anything, has Mr Trump turned up?
we recall Mr. Trump was offering a large reward for any genuine proof of O’s pob, so?
just curious, thanks
This is all they have? This is just pathetic.
Just pathetic, even for the Slimes.
Coordinated attack. Washington Post just published a similar hit piece.
They’re going to beat that dead horse all the way through Election Day.
Hillary is done.
Nobody cares that isn’t a die hard vote for any lefty they can. Average people have no clue and do think that there’s something weird about Obama’s story.
That’s all you got? LOL.
Yea.. umm African Americans want to know who will improve the inner cities— bring more jobs, fix education, keep them safe from gang violence.. but apparently the bigoted NYT believes that African Americans will not vote for what is in their best interest and instead will vote on who said Obama was born in Kenya.. it is pretty demeaning really..
“They’re going to beat that dead horse all the way through Election Day.”
Let them. Nobody cares.
And for the few that do, it just reminds them that it’s only in question because Barack Obama is the least American politician in history.
Obama himself said— let’s focus on real issues— not where I was born..
It would be one thing if Trump was out talking about Obama’s birth. What’s despicable is that they all just happened to decide it was an issue all at once, meaning it is clearly their marching orders from Hitler. “I’m having a bad week. Run the birther thing.”
So we have Barry himself, Hillary, and Sid, yet the entire thing is wrapped around Trump's neck like a millstone.
Trump put an end to it, so put an end to it.
People will tune them out just like the NFL.
