Congressman Calls For New Birther Investigation, Questions ‘The President’s Validity’

Another Republican is accusing President Obama of secretly being a Kenyan man who forged his birth certificate in order to get elected President of the United States. This time the theorist is Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), chairman of the House Homeland Security Oversight Subcommittee.

Duncan appeared on the radio program TruNews with Rick Wiles on Friday where the host asked the South Carolina congressman whether the House would go after Obama’s “phony identification papers.” Duncan initially demurred, but then agreed with Wiles that Obama could be lying about his birth certificate, calling for Congress to “revisit” the issue of “the president’s validity.”

WILES: While you guys are rounding up and deporting the illegal immigrants, any chance the House may actually pursue Barack Obama’s phony identification papers? That’s the original scandal, congressman.

DUNCAN: People should have voted against him in November. I’m afraid that that wouldn’t get to the Supreme Court where it ought to get.

WILES: But if we know they’re lying about all these other things, why not go back and say, “well maybe the first scandal was a lie, too?”

DUNCAN: There you go. I’m all with you. Let’s go back and revisit some of these things because Americans have questions about not only the IRS scandal but also about the president’s validity.

So Republicans have time for bullshit birther conspiracies, phony baloney scandal hearings, pointless votes on repealing ObamaCare and reversing Roe v Wade, but what about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS as Boehner pledged 3 years ago?

Check out this DCCC page (http://www.dccc.org/page/content/whenarethejobs) that has counted 894 days of Boehner's tenure as Speaker and still ZERO job creation bills introduced!

If he were Kenyan. She actually threw the "possible Muslim" in there at one point. So if he was anything but a natural born citizen, they would have found it.

There are millions of natural born Americans so why would anyone help him do that? I mean the logic of these people escapes me. What would be the point? What has he done ever to help Kenya or Muslims specifically?

I know I'm giving them too much credit thinking they are anything but paranoid and racist.
