The Hillary Clinton campaign on Sunday continued to hit Donald Trump for his recently renounced birtherism, with Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine suggesting that a conspiracy theory about President Obama is too "painful" to be erased in a single statement.
From 2011 until Friday, Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, promoted the idea that Obama was not born in the United States and was not eligible to be president. Although he has often said during the 2016 campaign that he prefers not to talk about Obama's place of birth anymore, Trump did not say until Friday that he thinks the president is U.S.-born.
"President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period," Trump said at a news conference in Washington. He did not apologize for his rumor-mongering, which had continued even after Obama released his birth certificate in 2011.

Who cares. Obama will be gone in a few months. How about some real issues like illegal immigration.
If it was so painful, he would have put it to rest immediately with extensive documentation.
Lies lies lies and more lies. Apparently her v p guy is almost as much a liar as HilLIARy herself. Birds of a feather ...
I guess if all you can beat is a dead horse,
beat the dead horse.
Kaine has to know this optic is turning against Hillary.
Tim Kaine (who?) isn’t qualified to carry Trumps lunch pail.
Hilary starts something and then she makes fun of people who believed her, then when the facts show she is the original birther, the Clinton Camp points fingers at everyone else
BIRTHERISM is alive and well in the UNITED STATES.
Is everyone in public life a blithering idiot? Bringing it up now was dumb - whoever it was - but pretending to care is beyond dumb.
When is Tim Kaine gonna bring up Roosevelt in a wheelchair????
Or has he already????
You know that the Clinton campaign and her media minions are out of ammo when they have to revive “birtherism” and David Duke. I just saw a poll that shows that Clinton’s support among blacks has dropped for 90 percent to 74 percent, and Trump has 19 percent. You know that has sent shock waves thru their campaign, and that’s why the “racist” charge has become so prominent in her campaign.
Sanders had a rally to support Clinton and drew at most 150 people (looked more like 50 from the pictures) in Akron OH yesterday. Meanwhile Trump drew several thousand in Colorado Springs, and the video of the rally has been viewed about 100,000 times on youtube.
You can add to that Clinton’s falling support among millennials, and she is in full-scale panic mode.
They HAVE to beat a dead horse...It won’t kick back....
Closet Case Kaine is who they want to be POTUS - someone they have dirt on and can control.
Hellary is the one who keeps bringing it up but Trump gets blamed.
Perfectly said.
Seriously? This is all the Dems can come up with? Birther issue? What about illegal immigration? What about education, the economy, foreign policy? And all they can talk about is Obama’s birth certificate?
Just another bunch of spaghetti the lest scum are tossing at the wall to see if it will stick.
It won’t.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
