Continuing his drumbeat of interviewing incendiary public figures and questioning their claims and actions, CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewed Texas State Rep. Leo Berman, who authored a bill requiring presidential and vice-presidential candidates to submit their original birth certificates to the Texas Secretary of State.
Berman begins by asserting that he doesn’t know where President Obama was born. Then Cooper shows him the president’s birth certificate and other facts that debunk his baseless claims:
These clowns need to just get over the fact that our President is black. Do they even know that the FBI vets presidential candidates and if there was anything worth knowing, we would have been told before the election. The only reason they won’t believe President Obama is because they don’t want to believe a black man could be legally elected President. These people don’t or won’t admit it but it’s the only reason that I can come up with. No matter what documents are shown to these guys, they won’t believe because the don’t want to. They want to believe what they believe and nothing will chang their minds. Why is this the first time this kind of nonsense regarding our president is going on? Why after 200 years of white presidents and no questions about their birth or citizenship do they suddenly, with the first black president, come up with this conspiracy about his birth and legality? It’s because they are racist. They may not believe that about themselves, but I can think of nothing else that would cause this rumor monguering.
Debra, you are so wrong to assume this has anything to do with this leftist being …black. It is policy driven not racially driven.
