WASHINGTON – The Republican Party should have done more to shut down the birther movement that Donald Trump led, one GOP senator said Sunday. “I wish that we, as a party, would have stood up, for example, when the birtherism thing was going along,” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “A lot of people did stand up but not enough.” Long before he was a presidential candidate, Trump led an effort to discredit President Obama by doubting he was a US citizen. Obama was born in Hawaii.

I don’t know where barky was born but the birth certificate was fake. 3rd graders could have made a better fake....

WHO the HELL are the Brain-Dead 18%????? God....what a waste of SKIN he is!

He is also breathing perfectly good air, that could be put to better use.

Look at the first video again. It appears the author has retracted it.

We hope the people understand now but only the next election will tell us for sure and we are also turning blue due to all the retired leftists moving here to get out of CA or left leaning cold weather states. Add in all Hispanics and we have a real problem holding the red line. Texas has the same problem.

What's with that anyway? The libs move out because they don't like the crazy taxes/exorbitant cost of living but can't figure out everywhere they go the same thing happens eventually. It's like they have a little turd stuck in their buttcrack and can't figure out why no matter where they go there's always a stench.

If John McCain’s brain tumor could speak, he would reveal his name was Jeff Flake.

Sen. Jeff Flake: "Don't worry John McCain. After cancer has rotted your brain and you're drooling in a cup, I'll carry your torch as the Senate's douchebag obstructionist from Arizona."

Great,let some fraudulent bastard get away with not proving who he really is

Screw you, Flake. You are a traitorous SOB

I know. Look at the comments. Others have independently verified his original conclusions.

Hillary Clinton started the Birther Movement in her run in the primary against Obama. Her minions put this out to the media so her hands were not contaminated with it. The real hell of it, she may have been right.

Conversely, if the Republicans had held their fortitude, they could have forced the issue and kept him out of office according to the Constitution. Barack Obama was born in Kenya. His grandmother said so. I believe her.

Flake is such a douch.

Better yet, have Alabama or Texas choose your senators, you seem unable to make wise decisions.

Alabama only please, we have John "Republican Elite" Cornyn as our Senator.

Doubling down on stupid.

When you start the article with an outright lie, do not expect me to read further.

McShameys butt buddy is yowling again

[PCPOET7]

you also for got he is hiding his transcripts because he lied on his college application about being foreign born to get into Harvard.

Since we had Republican gains in Congress and a Republican President, I have to ask, what difference does it make at this point?
