Here we go again! We can cite this as the new birtherism:

" Trump was told about claims on “social media” that Harris might be ineligible to serve as president and vice president. He was then asked if he can definitively say that she meets the requirements.

Trump said, “I heard today that she doesn’t meet the requirements.” He referred to a lawyer who raised the issue in a Newsweek article, Chapman University professor John Eastman, as “very highly qualified.”

Trump then said he has “no idea” whether it’s true Harris doesn’t meet the requirements. He then asked the reporter if she was saying Harris doesn’t qualify because Harris “wasn’t born in this country.”


What Trump doesn’t mention is that the professor’s views are refuted by most constitutional scholars. Also the professor lost a Republican primary in a race for attorney general. The guy who beat the professor lost to (you guessed it!) Kamala Harris!

Why is CAF allowing posts on news articles attacking democrat and republican candidates.
They are asking for financial support in the form of patronage, yet continue to allow this

Love the neighbour as thyself.

The news and social justice forums have become battlegrounds with lines distinctly drawn in the sand. I don’t see how that invalidates asking for money, though.

I like to give money to those fully promoting Catholic values
 
She was born in California.

Newsweek published a silly op ed about how it might be possible she wouldn’t qualify because her parents were immigrants and legal residents at the time of her birth.

:roll_eyes:

My parents were too.

I had my first US passport issued at age 2.5.
 
We certainly can’t expect the king of birtherism to pass this up. :roll_eyes:
 
I am not going to argue this topic with you. I believe that Obama was born in the US.

It must have been racism, because it couldn’t possibly have been because of his politics!

ETA: thought I should clarify that this comment is written with deep sarcasm

It’s really appalling that he still feels free to do this sort of thing and I can only hope it shows how desperate he is to reverse his fortunes at this point.
 
I certainly think that some racists may have glommed onto it, and there may be a racist element to it, but I certainly do not think that conservatives would have reacted this way if Obama had been a conservative. The first person to bring the issue up was a woman involved in Hillary’s primary campaign (who apparently was fired for doing so) and Hillary is not completely innocent herself. Were these Democrats racist?

I think Obama’s anti-colonial and globalist sympathies had more to do with it than his race per se. Things he said made some people uncomfortable, like “fellow citizen of the world," and "People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time,” “We are the ones we have been waiting for,” seemed unusual.

I have to add that the last two comments hearkened back to the counter-cultural utopianism of the 1960s.

And all the hype by him and over him on the part of the left was not helpful. The “improbability,” the “don’t look like,” the “audacity of hope.” This was engineered by his campaign. There were those to whom this utopian vision did not appeal, which is why I say that it was his politics more than his race which drove opposition to him, the source of which was always described as racism.

Which is probably why I am irked by these facile representations.

He was elected and re-elected,how is that reflective of racism?
That word is wearing thin due to overuse and misuse.If everything is racist then nothing is racist.🤨
 
Would that mean that since Hillary Clinton wasn’t elected, Americans hate women? Or the fact that Trump was elected, Americans don’t like Catholics but they do like Presbyterians? Obviously Americans like people who dye their hair as both nominees last time were guilty of using Clairol (or some other brand)?

One can draw some rather silly conclusions based on a single event if they want to.
 
Only a Democrat would view a candidate through a racist lens. Obama’s policies were the issue not his skin color.We have Justice Thomas and numerous conservative blacks ,so younassertion is grossly off mark
