Michelle Obama: Trump’s Birther Lies Were Meant To ‘Stir Up Wingnuts And Kooks’
The Huffington Post ^ | November 8, 2018 | Ed Mazza

Former first lady Michelle Obama tears into President Donald Trump in her new book, saying his false “birther” accusations against President Barack Obama threatened the safety of the family.

According to a Washington Post review of the book, Obama writes in Becoming:

“The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks. What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him.”

She was referring to a false and racist conspiracy theory perpetuated by Trump and others that President Obama was born overseas....

What was Obamas biography for his book release supposed to stir up when it also said he was born in Kenya?

No Trump’s birther questions were legitimate questions that deserved to be answered.

Obama’s refusal to release records and trolling of birthers is what was designed to stir up wingnuts and kooks.

She’s a duplicitous liar right out of the gate. Questions regarding Barky’s background started in the Hillary camp, and Michelle is doing EXACTLY what she accuses others of doing in perfect Alinsky harmony.

Since Obama is no longer president, perhaps he can cough up those student records then?

yeah, didn’t think so.

Or his own statements that he was foreign born and used those statements (a la fauxahauntas) to get special privileges and scholarships.

We still haven’t seen a real birth certificate.

A PDF file is not a birth certificate. You can’t get a passport with a PDF file.

‘birther’ was a term invented by the corrupt-staters to quash the debate.

The sad fact is that O’muslim was never eligible, under the Constitution, to hold the ‘job’ he did for 8 years.

The fakestream media and fvckhead Obola voters put a gun to America’s temple and pulled the trigger.

I’ve long suspected that the birther issue is not dead, that Trump will before the end of it, return to it.

“You can’t get a passport with a PDF file.”

For someone with ‘no’ birth certificate, he sure is allowed to globe-hop...on other people’s DIME, of course!

I sure would like SOMEONE to look into their travel expenses while they were in office. What was it, some 80 million dollars to drag Mom and the kids around the globe?

Classic liberal strategy:

Observe statement: “Obama may not be eligible”.

Assign bad intentions to it: “Meant to stir up Wingnuts and Kooks.”

Declare person making statement bad, end of discussion. (Notice you don’t even argue the statement itself.)

The First Wookie has opened a can of worms. The Donald could reopen the investigation into Obama’s birth records, investigate the forged birth certificate and order the release his locked personal records. I think the renewal of birtherism would be a good front to open.

Oh, and blame it all Hillary who first raised suspicions of Obama’s qualifications to occupy the Oval Office.

ps.

I am a birther.

Open his passport file. The people and history need to know the real facts. The truth would dispel the conspiracy theories.
