Democrats hammer Trump for entertaining false birther theory about Harris | TheHill
Pssstttt. You know who else spreads this false birther stuff? People here. And probably some of your family members or friends.
"Donald Trump was the national leader of the grotesque, racist birther movement with respect to President Obama and has sought to fuel racism and tear our nation apart on every single day of his presidency," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign. "So it’s unsurprising, but no less abhorrent, that as Trump makes a fool of himself straining to distract the American people from the horrific toll of his failed coronavirus response that his campaign and their allies would resort to wretched, demonstrably false lies in their pathetic desperation."
Democratic lawmakers quickly piled on, accusing Trump of trafficking in racism.
"White supremacy is a belief system based on the idea that ppl of color, esp Black ppl, are fundamentally illegitimate as equal citizens or human beings," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted. "Calling into question the citizenship of elected officials of color, esp when the answer is obvious, is one way it manifests."
Uh. Ouch.
