Trump boasts at debate that he did ‘good job’ on birther issue
Liz Goodwin Senior National Affairs Reporter September 26, 2016
Hillary Clinton sharply criticized Donald Trump for pushing a “racist birther lie” about President Obama during a heated exchange at Monday night’s presidential debate at Hofstra University.
Moderator Lester Holt asked Trump to explain his yearslong campaign supporting the conspiracy theory questioning Obama’s citizenship and birthplace.
“I was the one that got him to produce the birth certificate, and I think I did a good job,” Trump said.
“We’re talking about racial healing in this segment,” Holt interjected. “What do you say to Americans—?”
Trump cut him off. “I say nothing,” he said, again congratulating himself for getting Obama to release his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii in 2011. Trump continued to push the issue for years after.
