BOSTON (WHDH/CNN) - Barack Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says Donald Trump disrespected her family by questioning the president’s birthplace.
Trump quoted Obama’s grandmother when she claimed to have witnessed Barack Obama’s birth in Kenya, and Onyango says that is not true.
“A naked lie in the name of the Lord,” Onyango said. “That I respect him and I respect his wealth, but I only demand him to respect us.”
Onyango says when she was a girl in Kenya in 1961, she remembers her family receiving a letter from Obama’s father, announcing the president’s birth in Hawaii.

Aunt Z’s anger was misdirected towards President Trump.
The original ‘birther’ that challenged the legitimacy of the Illinois candidate was Phil Berg. And although she adamantly denies any involvement, Hillary’s investigation into Obama’s school records and origins initiated Berg’s interest. Hill chose not to challenge the obvious fraud and fired her campaign manager over this topic. We are left to wonder if Clinton had won, would she have done more damage to America than Obama....

Notorious Dem Birther Isn’t Sorry Trump Falsely Pinned The Movement On Clinton
By Allegra Kirkland

Donald Trump has in the last week attempted to erase his history with birtherism by claiming he put the issue to bed when, by his account, he single-handedly forced President Barack Obama in 2011 to release his long-form birth certificate, and by falsely insisting that the conspiracy theory sprang from Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign.
At least one former Clinton supporter, whose name is synonymous with the birther movement, told TPM in a Wednesday phone interview he doesn’t mind that his promotion of the myth that the country’s first black President wasn’t born on U.S. soil contributed to Trump incorrectly pinning its origins on Clinton’s campaign.
“It doesn’t bother me,” said Philip J. Berg, Pennsylvania’s former deputy attorney general, adding that he had “no direct contact with the Hillary campaign.”
Berg captured headlines in 2008 for teaming up with a Texas-based volunteer for Clinton’s presidential campaign, Linda Starr, to file one of the first lawsuits over Obama’s birth certificate. After that case was dismissed by a judge who declared that Berg lacked standing to file the “frivolous” suit, he went on to file two others. Birtherism remained Berg’s pet cause through Obama’s two terms in the White House: he started a website called Obamacrimes.com and published a book titled “Obama Scare” to promote his conspiracies about the President’s birthplace.
“As I said back in 2008, Obama is a total fraud, and it’s really disrespectful for all the citizens of this country,” an unrepentant Berg told TPM. “We’re really a laughingstock of the whole world because the world knows he’s a phony.” [snip]
Clinton has flatly rejected conspiracies about Obama’s birthplace, and did not accept the advice of then-campaign strategist Mark Penn to highlight her opponent’s upbringing abroad and “limited” relationship with American values. Penn was fired in 2008, and the Clinton campaign also dismissed two 2008 Iowa volunteers, Judy Rose and Linda Olson, who shared emails claiming that Obama was secretly a Muslim. [snip]

Also notice that Berg claims: “no direct contact with the Hillary campaign,” which we can interpret to mean, that he communicated with ‘Team Hillary’ through a surrogate.
