Not exactly true. (There are enough true things to talk about without repeating errors.) The bio that said he was born in Kenya was for a book that he never finished writing. It was one of 90 authors' bios in his publisher's brochure, and the publisher has said it was their mistake.
Yes but you have to ask yourself where did they get that from? If you wrote a book or an unfinished book or whatever, and they said you were born on Mars, why would they put that? It’s not a mistake. They put it there because they got it from HIM.
I’m the same age as him, I was born in New York. My mother was born in Scotland and my father was born New York as well. I’ve written a lot of stuff, some that has been published but also had small bios written about me for publications. Not ONCE has anyone ever stated that I was “born in Scotland”. Why? Because I never said I was! But the few things Barry has written right off the bat they say he was born in Kenya? It’s because he stated he was. If he wasn’t born in Kenya, then he was committing fraud in College. If he was born in Kenya then we have the largest case of fraud in the history of American politics.
That’s not exactly true either. The publisher didn’t say it was their mistake. They claimed it was a “fact-checking error” meaning that somebody else made the mistake by providing the wrong fact, such as the author ... except that we don’t really know that it was the wrong information.
