Oh No You Don't! You Can't Admit We're Right - Take It All Back!

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus fiercely criticized the way Donald Trump delivered his brief admission Friday at President Barack Obama was born in the United States, saying it was insufficient and demanding an apology for Trump's years-long push of "birther" claims.

"This is a disgusting day," said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, a Democrat from North Carolina and chair of the CBC. "Donald Trump is a disgusting fraud."
Butterfield, along with a dozen other members, made their comments at a hastily arranged news conference on a noisy Washington street corner, just outside a convention center where many were attending events for "CBC Week."
One by one, members tore into Trump, calling him an array of names including "hater," "bigot" and "racial arsonist."
(They stressed that they were speaking on behalf of the group's political action committee -- which endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton earlier this year -- and not the caucus itself.)
They were outraged by Trump's actions Friday morning, when he concluded a campaign event at his new hotel just across town in Washington with a few blunt sentences admitting that Obama was born in America. His comments came two days after he refused to say as much to a Washington Post reporter.
"President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again," he said Friday, then ended his event and ignored shouted-out questions from reporters as he left the room.
Trump is widely considered the leader of the birther movement and has taken credit for Obama releasing his long-form birth certificate five years ago.

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it,” Trump said in Washington, D.C. Friday, referring to theories President Obama was not born in the United States. “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.”

Media outlets immediately branded his claim about Hillary Clinton's involvement as an outright falsehood.

“Trump admits Obama born in U.S. but falsely blames Clinton for starting rumors,” declared The Washington Post.

“Trump drops claim but falsely accuses Clinton of starting it,” said The New York Times.

However, that assertion was itself cast into doubt when former McClatchy D.C. Bureau Chief James Asher tweeted that long-time Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal had encouraged him to investigate the rumor that Obama was not born in America.

His version of events raises questions about the Clinton campaign’s denials that it had anything to do with the controversy, but media outlets didn’t suggest any gray area.

Clinton 2008 campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle seemed to muddy the waters even further when, in denying that there was a connection, admitted that there was an Iowa volunteer who forwarded an email promoting the conspiracy.

“There was a volunteer coordinator, I believe in late 2007, I think in December, one of our volunteer coordinators in one of the counties in Iowa. I don't recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an e-mail that promoted the conspiracy,” she said on CNN, adding that Clinton herself made the decision to fire the person “immediately.”

Trump’s campaign immediately jumped on the Doyle interview, saying it vindicated Trump.

“With Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager admitting on national television and on Twitter that they promoted the rumors surrounding now-President Obama’s heritage, Mr. Trump has been fully vindicated,” spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement.

“Not only was a Clinton campaign worker blamed and fired over the activity, we have now been informed that Secretary Clinton was aware of what was going on, with Clinton’s campaign manager even apologizing to Obama’s campaign manager,” he said.

Proof is coming out of the woodwork that it was Hillary. And while liberals demand the proof be written in blood, at this point most people are just shaking their heads at her total lack of integrity.

Hillary won't stop losing until she stops being Hillary...
