Lindsey Graham: Trump should apologize for pushing birtherism
POLITICO ^ | 09/20/2016 | Nolan D. McCaskill

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.”

Actually, the original birther was 0bama himself. If he wanted to clear this up he could explain why he claimed he was born in Kenya when he was a state senator and on the fly leaf of his first book. Obviously he does not want to clear this up. Obviously the MSM does not want to ask HIM these questions. Any further question to Trump on this issue needs to be answered that way.

Linda is featured in an anti-Trump political ad for Hillary, along with Jeff Flake, Mitt Romney and Charles Krauthammer.)

This ad is running practically non-stop in the southern New Hampshire market.

Graham falls all over himself running to the media to give them a quote and a headline.

Otherwise the payments stop and photos come out

Are you telling me someone in Hillary Clinton’s campaign thinks any regular voter cares one iota about the opinion of Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, Mitt Romney or Charles Krauthammer?

Linda is an idiot.

Clinton pushed it. It’s irrefutable.

Trump simply investigated it after Clinton’s charges.

My first thoughts: either he is just trying to get in the spotlight, or he gets his marching orders from Hillary and the rats. You confirmed the latter.

Senator Graham owes every rooted American an apology for calling those of us who wanted to preserve America for her own people, "bigots" when he came out for granting Amnesty to those not even legally in America! (See Letter To Senator Graham.)

He is the epitome of those who refuse to put America First.

There is absolutely nothing unseemly in wanting to vet the credentials of a President, who has attacked the American tradition, all of his adult life. If Senator Graham does not understand that, he is not intelligent enough to sit in the United States Senate.

Lindsay Graham is nothing more than a Want To Be and has had his day. The Bum should be kicked out of the US Senate by South Carolinians!
