Senator says GOP should have shut down birther movement
New York Post ^ | 8/6/2017 | Marisa Schultz

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.

‘Here’s a better question: why didn’t brocko produce a credible birth cert from day 1?’

That’s the question in a nutshell. Obama defied this simple and reasonable request until Trump made it too politically costly. Then we got a fabricated BC that only the kneepad press could love.

Wasn’t it Hillary who hatched the birther movement?

I still don’t care WHERE he was born. His father was a British subject, which made him a British subject, thus not a natural born citizen. His mother may also have renounced his citizenship when she moved him to Indonesia. Didn’t he apply to the university as a foreign student? Maybe he’s not even a citizen now...

No, Obama spawned the birther issue by claiming for years to have been born in Kenya. Hillary’s supporters merely followed his lead.

Is Senator Flake on medications? Or is mentally confused? Or maybe something more nefarious? Obama could easily have stopped the whole birther movement if only he had provided his birth certificate.

The BC is one of the few requirements for the job. Even some menial jobs require a BC.

The more I hear Flake comment, the more he reveals that he is not fit for the job of senator.

Agree that Obama’s birthplace will eventually be revealed. He is a Malignant Narcissist, and the only way he’ll get the full satisfaction from having played the country is to reveal the truth.

Worse than that he put out two documents. First a CLB and that was so laughable he had to release a second document, the BC.

Even if both had been legit who puts out a secondary document first if they have the primary document all along?

He did not play the Country. There were a number of us that could see through the bastard for what he was, but we were in the minority.

He played the country in the sense of becoming POTUS. That’s all I meant.

Flake will win the nomination again. The Mormon Mafia rules the Arizona GOP. And they are traitors to the core.

Good point. Plus, when he put out the CLB, his Obots told us several million times that’s all there was. They said straight up we’d never see a LFBC, because the CLB was the end-all be-all.

No one knows that for sure either. All school documents are still under seal. How did he apply, what were his grades and where did he get the cash to go to three American universities?
