âBIRTHERâ PEJORATIVE EXPLOITED
by Sharon Rondeau
(Sep. 26, 2016) â At 10:00 p.m. EDT during Monday nightâs presidential debate between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton, moderator Lester Holt asked Trump why he allegedly claimed that Obama is not a ânatural born Citizenâ by calling for Obama to release his birth certificate in 2011.
In his question, Holt acknowledged Trumpâs public statement last week that he accepted that Obama was âborn in the United States,â claiming that Trumpâs conclusion is what âmost Americansâ know to be true.
Trump responded by framing as an accomplishment therelease of an image purported to be Obamaâs long-form birth certificate from the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH), which was done by the White House on April 27, 2011.
When it was Clintonâs turn to speak on the subject, she said that Trump had shown âdisrespectâ for the âfirst African-American presidentâ by doubting his birth narrative, also invoking the frequently-used pejorative of âbirthers.â
Trump responded to Clinton by stating, as McClatchy News reported, that Clintonâs 2008 campaign had circulated a photo of Obama in Muslim garb as well as launched the rumor that he was born in Kenya.
The opening question of a 2008 primary debate between Clinton and Obama confirms Trumpâs assertion, according to then-moderator Brian Williams.
Neither Holt, Trump nor Clinton acknowledged that an investigation commissioned by Maricopa County Sheriff Joseph Arpaio found in 2012 that the long-form birth certificate image is a âcomputer-generated forgery.â
Last week, Arpaio told a Tea Party group that his office is âstill investigatingâ the birth certificate image.
this is a different kind of story, because it's still ongoing.
there are still a lot of people, myself included, that still believe obama is hiding something in his past, that his documentation is sketchy/contrived/forged.
