Christie claims Trump’s birtherism is ‘a done issue’

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I’ve said it’s a done issue for a long time, and Donald Trump has said it’s a done issue now”, Christie, a top Trump supporter and the chairman of his transition team, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union”.

For a lot of people, it’s brought up that anger again, and that anger is not going to dissipate before the election.

Joel Benenson, Clinton’s chief strategist, told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an interview Thursday that the campaign was still “playing for 270 electoral votes”. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a darling of the party’s left wing, was even more blunt.

DONALD Trump has been accused of inciting violence against Hillary Clinton for a second time under the guise of speaking up for gun owners’ rights. “Only when his handlers tied him down and made him, did he finally admit that it wasn’t true”.

A cascade of new polls this week suggest close contests in key states such as Virginia – the home of Clinton’s running mate – and MI, where Democrats have won every cycle since 1992.

“The birther issue is a done issue”.

Trump started the event by praising his new hotel, stating: “I think when this hotel opens – one of the best hotels anywhere in the world … Let’s move on to the real issues”.

When asked if Clinton started the so-called “birther” movement, an idea rejected by fact-checkers, Pence only said, “I’ll let the facts speak for themselves”.

Indiana Gov. Pence, Trump’s vice presidential running mate, refused anew Tuesday to say whether white supremacist Duke was “deplorable”.

To that, Raddatz said: “It’s not over”.

Despite the fact that Obama himself said he viewed this renewed burst of commentary about his birth as “fairly typical” and not surprising, members of the Congressional Black Caucus were clearly angry.

Addressing the foundation for the last time as president, Obama said: “If I hear anybody saying their vote does not matter, that it doesn’t matter who we elect – read up on your history”. And as he has in other states, the New Yorker has ceded the vast majority of his get-out-the-vote efforts to the Republican National Committee.

“We’ve got to fight for this thing”, Obama thundered at a rally in Philadelphia last Tuesday. In a tight presidential race, Clinton is hoping that African-Americans turn out like they did for Obama’s victories when they comprised 13 percent of the electorate.

Clinton leads Trump among college-educated women. We better get very, very tough.

Within hours of Trump’s comments on Friday, the group of black lawmakers had already mobilized to hold a news conference during which, one after another, they condemned Trump.

“What’s happened as much as anything else is that the election is taking on the contours of the 2012 election to a very large extent”, said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin.

“Our nation should not accept one lost American life because our country failed to enforce its laws”, Trump said here Saturday.

“He’s a hater. He’s a bigot and he’s racist”, said Val Deming, a former Orlando police chief running for Congress from Florida. I need you to make phone calls.

“Even Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008. until she was sacked by Hillary Clinton, admitted on Friday. that she said, yes, these are her words: There was a volunteer in Iowa who was pushing this”, Conway said. Now a Clinton supporter, Mr. Sanders echoed the former secretary of state’s sentiments from this earlier today, saying the Trump campaign is rooted in bigotry and appeals to extremist. The Clinton campaign also widely circulated editorials from papers in North Carolina and Pennsylvania critical of the latest episode with Trump. But instead of acknowledging this reality and apologizing for his role in exacerbating it, Mr. Trump, who once said laziness is a trait among Blacks, now refuses to discuss it anymore and his surrogates, all of whom misrepresent the truth nearly daily on cable television, deny racism influenced the controversy. She backs a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, while Trump does not.

He blamed a Clinton aide for saying that Clinton herself pushed questions about Obama’s birthplace during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. “What they were trying to do, led by Donald Trump, was de-legitimize the presidency of the first black president we’ve ever had”.

“They should have insisted that he apologize”, said Annie Thompson, 76. Hatred follows that man wherever he goes.

Several black Republicans have also expressed disgust at Trump’s connections with the birther movement.

“Lie, lie, lie”, said Starks.
