Eric Thayer/Reuters via ZUMA Press On Sunday, the Republican Party establishment officially endorsed Donald Trump's false narrative about the birther conspiracy.
For five years, Trump has pushed the discredited theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Even after the White House released Obama's birth certificate in 2011, Trump continued to fan the flames of this conspiracy. He refused to admit that he was wrong until last Friday, when his role in the birther movement became an issue in the presidential election. Then, rather than admit he was wrong, Trump falsely blamed Hillary Clinton for starting the rumor that Obama was not born in the United States and said he had done a service to the country by forcing Obama to release his birth certificate, resolving the question of Obama's citizenship (which, of course, was never actually in question).
On Sunday, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, approved this account of the birther movement and Trump's role in it. "It was an issue that he was interested in," Priebus said in an interview on CBS' Face the Nation. "It was an issue that I believe and I think the preponderance of the evidence shows Hillary Clinton started it. And after getting this issue resolved, he proclaimed on Friday that he believes that the president was born in America, just like I have as chairman of the Republican Party."

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution
I do hope they are right that Trump has completely taken over the GOP from the Cheap Labor Express.
Mother Jones evidently does not under stand the constitutionally undefined Republican Part became extinct decades ago, today’s RINOs nothing more than the “conservative” front-end of the corrupt Washington cartel.
Hillary began birtherism and got out the photos of Obama’s naked momma.
So guess her takeover of the Dem party is complete...
Did Trump say yet that he’d be insulted if ALL Americans of European descent didn’t vote for him?
cause that’d be racist. i guess.
The GOP-wing of the Demorat party.
Mother Jones commies have been calling the GOP racists as long as I can remember.
Its not his takeover.
He is part of the purge. It has hardly begun.
If he fuchs up he will be purged out.
This is just a laughable piece of agitprop.
What I want to know is who reads this rag?????
MJ pushes the fiction that when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, all the racist southern Democrats instantly switched to the Republican Party.
Obviously they know nothing of the South and all its little local Democrat oligarchies. Typical Northern urban arrogance.
Trump didn’t admit he was wrong. He only said that Obama was born in the State of Hawaii. He never said that Obama was a “Natural Born Citizen” which he isn’t.
Leftist Axiom:
A fact, an idea, a theory, an opinion is “discredited” if the Left says it is; no proof of rebuttal is necessary.

Really Media...are you sure you want to go there? Don’t you think your looking like the stupid fools that you represent: Hillary Rotten Clinton!!!
Mother Jones - left of left. I just can’t stomach it.
“Even after the White House released Obama’s birth certificate in 2011”
Every time I hear that statement it makes my skin curl. Because undeniable truth exists that that birth certificate is a fraud.
