Sen. Inhofe rejects "birthers": "He’s elected and he’s there. And I’m not part of those people"

Now, Senate Republicans are working to distance themselves from the rumors.

“I thought that was all put to rest during the campaign,” said GOP Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona.

“I keep hearing it coming up, but nothing’s going to happen and it’s not going to accomplish anything,” said Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.). “He’s elected and he’s there. And I’m not part of those people bringing it up.”

1. You know what's awesome about that? He didn't say they were *wrong*

He just said "it won't accomplish anything" and "I'm not bringing it up."

Inhofe never disappoints.
:rofl:

I'm gonna assume you actually side with the birfers but are just a lying ho': "President Obama was born in the United States".

He'll NEVER say it, because he doesn't believe it.
