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.”

A lot of it was released in press conferences and by comments from Mike Zullo? that can be found on YouTube. But not everything was released to the public. I do believe that someone in congress or the WhiteHouse has the full report.

“Questions regarding Barky’s background started in the Hillary camp”

History is being re-written.

One of the reasons for the anti-Trump hysteria is that besides reflecting on how shoddy and unlikable a candidate Hillary was, his election reflected on how shoddy and unlikable her husband was as president. Yeah, he won twice - with the media running interference for him 24/7/365; if he was nearly as good as touted, Hillary would have trounced Trump.
