A friendly reminder from MSNBC: Hillary campaign created and promoted 'Birtherism'

Media is panicking because they're well aware that their queen has a political glass jaw

Dan’s already done a fine job of explaining why the media is suddenly so obsessed with Donald Trump’s “birther” status. I won’t rehash that here. All I’ll do is point out the fact that, like most of their efforts to prop up their failing queen, the birther angle is going to blow up in their collective face.

That’s because “Birtherism” can be traced directly to Hillary Clinton’s own 2008 campaign.

If that was something that they were holding back until they needed it, it blew up in their faces. Another Fail.

Local TV in Boston was totally skewed:

Trump has been relentlessly hammering on the issue of Birtherism for years and years.
Trump has suddenly reversed course on Birtherism
Trump is lying when he says Hillary started it.
Trump made a media appearance today and said very little, but did acknowledge that Obama was born in the US.
Trump refused to apologize to the president.

If his father is who he claims, a Kenyan national and at the time, a British subject, then Obama is not a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.
He could have been born in Canada and be as eligible as Ted Cruz, NOT eligible.

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.

Scott Pelley from NBC news just may be opposite statement, mr. Kelly and major Jared just stated that Trump had started the birthing controversy.

ABC’s line tonight...for sure - local ABC outlet in Philly at six was nothing but "backlash" against Trump because of the birther issue - and "no evidence" Hillary had anything to do with starting it - totally in the tank for the 'rats......

Time for Trump to file multi-billion dollar lawsuits against the media for lying about Hillary starting the Birther movement.

"....Trump refused to apologize to the president...."

People who feel comfortable within themselves, don't feel the need to apologize for their feelings or beliefs, even if others disagree.

It's not too much of a stretch to believe that many of Trump's Les Deplorables like this man as a leader because he is not an apologist by nature. I know I am one of those people. He states his beliefs without feeling the need to appease the PC Left because it would make THEM feel better.

I still seethe when I think of Obama going around the world on bended knee and bowed back, apologizing for OUR country.

I was going to ask why Hillary thought it would be clever to have her media stooges push the now totally irrelevant birther issue, when it’s easily proven that A) Obama published book-promotion material saying he was born in Kenya from 1991 into the 2000’s; and, 2) Hillary and her proxies (Philip Berg, Sydney Blumenthal, et al) inserted the birther issue into her 2008 primary race against Obama. Does her campaign not realize that facts exist that expose her as the ultimate cynical liar?

The answer is that the news media is ignoring all the facts and just broadcasting lies, knowing they are lies. I’ve never seen the media sink this low or behave this recklessly. The Big Lie isn’t going to last in the age f the internet. Reality is going to break through and the story is going to be “Hillary and Media Lie Lie Lie”. One hopes this will alienate even diehard network news watchers and the handful that still buy leftist newspapers.

I had to laugh when Obama shot this Hillary/Media-created story as unimportant, when there is much important work to be done. Real smart of Hillary to remind Obama of the birther meme he certainly knows she created, just when he started campaigning for her. He has to really hate this woman.
