Newly-installed Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has a message for Donald Trump and other so-called "birthers": Shut up!
Priebus, who's starting to score some fundraising and organizational victories inside GOP HQ, having taken over for controversial former Chairman Michael Steele, says the debate over President Obama's birthplace and whether he can be president is a huge distraction away from the party's effort to fight Democratic spending and tax plans.
In an interview, we asked if he, like Trump, is a birther. "I'm not," says Priebus. "I believe that the president was born in Hawaii." [Read 10 things you didn't know about Reince Priebus.]

"I think that the entire issue gets me off track to what I really need to focus on which is how to beat him [Obama]," says Priebus. "And the reason I need to beat him is not because I'm the chairman of the RNC, or because I view this as some partisan endeavor that I'm on. I'm truly concerned about the future direction of our country. I'm very concerned about America. I'm concerned about the idea of America," says Priebus. "Look," he adds of Obama. "He's driving our country off a fiscal cliff, that's what he's doing."

Reince? Priebus?
If you do a search, you can find a site that will pronounce that for you.
Uh...No thanks...There are enough obnoxious, freakish names to deal with already.
hey preebus...why don’t YOU shut up. This is a free country remember? Donald Trump speaks and people listen. Why are you so afraid for him to speak? You don’t tell anyone to SHUT UP unless you are ready to be told the same yourself. We KNOW Donald Trump we DON’T KNOW YOU!
Must be one of them new-fangled autos that run on reindeer piss.
It's a hybrid car from an alternative universe. Reince is the color.
maybe he wants to hear it from his own mouth that he wasn’t born here. we have it on tape.
Yo, Reince!
When the “party-across-the-aisle” made an issue of Bush43’s supposed AWOL records, where were the equivalent calls for understanding and agreement that the issue was not really important?
Hmmmm?
I think Priebus just did! He certainly reminded me! And that’s what I told the RNC fund-raiser who phoned me recently soliciting a contribution. I told her no more money for RINOs! I’ll contribute directly to the campaigns of REAL CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN PATRIOTS!
Some foreigner tells an American to shut up.
OMG, give me a break.
Reince Priebus... next generation of “green” cars that run on hot air.
Because the Republicans are in it neck deep.
EXACTLY!
Look at every post on this thread; people who get it.
Virtually every out-spoken defender of Barack Obama's background is a Washington DC insider.
At this time why is Mr Priebus so concerned about what Donald Trump talks about?
Pretty soon they'll be better known as the "Third Party".
LMAO
In less than a year the new GOP boss is going to come hat-in-hand begging to TEA party getherings.
So STFU Ritz. (please tell me your nickname is really ‘Bud’ or something)
Recall Priebus.
The Tea Party is going to be very popular if the Republicans keep this up.
BTW, I think the name “Birthers” needs to change to a more positive word..., “Constitutionalists”. It positive and not derogatory.
ping...for later reading...
Priebus: “I believe that the president was born in Hawaii.”
Hey, Reince, I may BELIEVE the moon is made out of green cheese but without proof it doesn’t mean anything.
Send me the proof upon which you are basing your belief that JugEars was born in Hawaii and then I may believe it, too.
How on Earth did he get that gig?
