US election: Trump accepts Barack Obama was born in US

[Jhhnn]

So that's the official pitch? Yeah, pro-Clinton folks may have kicked off the birther movement and her campaign added to the flames of scaring people that Obama was an Arab (huh? Kenya is in Africa) or a Muslim but TRUMP IS WORSE.

Given that she used that tool in the last election do you have any doubt that if Trump had an ethnic/religious/whatever background that she thought was exploitable that she (or some minions for plausible deniability) would be pressing that angle even now?

Given that she didn't use that tool, the rest of your post is obfuscational bullshit thrown up for the Birther in Chief, Donald Trump.

If you're trying to fool anybody but yourself & fellow Hillary haters you're failing miserably.

In one case someone who supported a candidate acted inappropriately. Considering there are literally tens of millions of people in this group, someone acting inappropriately is inevitable. It is illogical to blame her for that, especially since she did not encourage that action.

On the other hand you have the literal candidate himself engaging in a multi-year disinformation campaign on that subject. There is absolutely no comparison here, what Trump did was abominable and racist. What Clinton did was...nothing.

If something is said at a Committee meeting and then not used is one thing but to found a movement, keep it alive for over 5 years, lie about resources invested in investigations and then insinuate and lie about non existent reports is quite another.

The very definition of False Equivalency.

That logic is beyond his pay grade and education level
