Hannity compares Russia investigation to birtherism

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 06/20/17 09:59 AM EDT 250



Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday compared the investigation into possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia to the "birtherism" conspiracy theory that claims former President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.

Speaking to Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow on his show, Hannity accused Trump's critics of pursuing the Russia investigation with the same fanaticism as "birther" conspiracy theorists.

"This has now become, like, 'Russia-Trump-conspiracy-birther-conspiracy,'" Hannity said as he began the interview.

"Right," Sekulow agreed.

Twitter jumped on Hannity for the comparison.

Hannity is an outspoken defender of Trump, who frequently questioned Obama's heritage during the Obama presidency. Hannity once interviewed Trump about Trump's support for the conspiracy theory, including Trump's efforts to send investigators to Hawaii during Obama's second term to determine if Obama's birth certificate was real.

In 2011, Hannity asked Trump about his efforts to investigate Obama's birth certificate during an interview about Trump's political aspirations. In subsequent television appearances, Hannity defended Trump and other supporters of the birther conspiracy theory.
Hannity said on a Fox News panel in 2011 that "all Donald Trump said was 'show the birth certificate and move on.'"

In a 2011 interview with TV host Jerry Springer, Hannity again defended the conspiracy, shouting down Springer when he tried to mention Obama's race as a reason for the conspiracy theories.

"Don't bring up race. Do not bring up race. Do not bring up race," Hannity told Springer in 2011. "It is a constitutional requirement."

I never really looked into Obama's deal about where he was born. I actually wondered if Hawaii just fudged his birth certificate. 1961 was probably a very different time in Hawaii. It had just become a state. I could see somebody paying a hospital at the time to just fudge a birth certificate.

I was in Hawaii about 10 years ago. Parts almost seemed like a foreign country. It was probably very crude in parts back in 1960s. Just like parts of Florida, Appalachia, etc. Might not be a stretch to think that somebody could get some administrator or bureaucrat to type one up.

So, Brock's birth certificate could be an original from 1961, but only because somebody just typed one.

I just one starred this thread. It went to three stars about 60 seconds after I one-starred it.

Dollars to donuts says the OP gave himself five stars. lol


Edit: So the thread was three stars 2 minutes after being posted. That's an average of one star and five stars. Now, it's just one star. Looks like somebody changed his vote. Double lol!

Democrats are going to have to ask themselves: Do we want to spend zillions of tax dollars to go a wild goose chase?

Is that a trick question?
