So I guess they kind of have a point. But do you want to brag about it, particularly in light of the fact that it did not shut him up completely on the issue? That part they left out. And they also left out the part that birtherism was hanging on by a thread only because of Orly Taitz and Trump basically fanned it back to life with the bc nonsense.
