GOProud, the gay caucus of the Tea Party, says it agrees with GOP presidential aspirant Donald Trump’s birther assertion that President Obama may not have not born in this country and must show his birth certificate. GOProud’s Chairman Chris Barron says, “I think Mr. Trump’s position on this has been a pretty common-sense one, and honestly, I can’t understand why President Obama wouldn’t have released his birth certificate before now to put an end to this once and for all,” reports Poltico’s Ben Smith.
Baron, who is no stranger to controversy, outlandish statements, provocation, and surprisingly anti-gay positions, also added, “Organizationally it’s not a GOProud issue. Not related to any of the organization’s legislative priorities,” but, he tells Smith, “is that it’s not an issue that particularly resonates with me, but it clearly resonates with a large segment of the Republican primary.”
Smith was quick to point out that Obama has indeed released his birth certificate, and writes, “The conspiracy theory is crazy. And, having been held at bay by the Republican Establishment for three years, it’s now bleeding in.”
You’ll remember Trump recently released his “birth certificate,” only to learn that it wasn’t legitimate.
