Lindsey Graham: Trump should apologize for pushing birtherism

Donald Trump should apologize for pushing the “unseemly” birther conspiracy regarding where President Barack Obama was born, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham indicated Tuesday.

Trump last week explicitly acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S., though he went on to blame Hillary Clinton for igniting the so-called “birther” controversy despite no evidence and refused to apologize for questioning the validity of the country's first black president.

“I would apologize,” Graham, a frequent and colorful Trump critic, told Bloomberg Politics on Tuesday. “I think the whole movement was unseemly. I had a lot of distaste for it. No factual basis. I think he would be taking the high ground, but that’s up to him.”

Every time Trump has a good week, Graham falls all over himself running to the media to give them a quote and a headline.

Graham should apologize for wasting good air. And then cease to do so.

Grhamnasty should apologize for claiming he is a Conservative.

Lieing Crap Weasle. He’s spend more time kissing Nero’s ass the past 7 years than anything else.

While Conservatives are filibustering in the Senate he and his RINO pals are over breaking bread with Nero.

FULG!

Funny.

TRUMP gets in “trouble” for “birtherisms” WHEN he acknowledges the Obola might have been born in a US territory.

Hillary gets promoted and praised for “birtherism” when SHE (her minions) complain about Trump acknowledging Obola might have been born in a US territory, when Hillary was the one that promoted and started the birthplace rumors and accusations!

Lindsey Graham: Trump should apologize for pushing birtherism

Well there it is folks. Absolute proof that pushing the birther issue was exactly the right thing to do. You heard it straight from the effeminate faggot's mouth.

Perhaps Graham could explain all the controversies around Obama’s birth certificate, social security number, selective service card, book publisher, Obama’s DNC certification and perhaps more.

From the POLITICO article:

Graham, a former GOP presidential candidate, has encouraged other Republicans to un-endorse Trump and hinted that the next president will likely be a “she,” though he has said he won’t vote for either candidate.

Graham is just doing his usual Hillary-supporting shtick with the media. Not sure what Graham's problem is, maybe it's that his own 2016 presidential primary campaign was supported by absolutely no one.
