Majority Of Republicans Still Believe In Birther Conspiracy, Committed To Discredit First Black President Until The End

According to a NBC News poll conducted in August, the partisan divide is persistent with 74 percent of Republicans saying that they believe President Obama was not born in the United States.

The article polled registered Republicans and found that there is no difference between low-knowledge and the high-knowledge Republicans, but doesn’t go the distance to find out why that is. It only goes as far as to hint at the partisan-charged environment.

“The fact that so many Republicans believe that the president was not born in the United States despite evidence to the contrary suggests that in the partisan-charged environment, it may be very difficult to dispel rumors and outlandish claims regardless of wins on Election Day.”

In other words not used in their article, Republicans are playing the long-game on this and as a partisan tactic, are united as a force to discredit the president, largely believing he was not born in the United States.

In one article published on the Inquisitr, all of the active surrogates who are out to spin Donald Trump’s narrative are doing it for the Republican Party, busy deflecting the conversation to blame the media and Hillary Clinton for the birther conspiracy.

Since the beginning of President Obama’s first-term, the entire point of the current Republican movement has been to sabotage the American mindset; not necessarily to make people really believe that he wasn’t born in the United States but to give Republicans the cue to commit to the insurgent collective.

Such is the case with the poll where the NBC News pollsters were “duped” when the registered Republicans they were asking, gave them the answers they did because it’s how they’re able to pollute the national media or rather, sabotage the “liberal” media industry they hate.

The birther movement itself is entirely based on Donald Trump’s energy to keep it going for the five years that he did despite his campaign’s claim that Hillary Clinton’s campaign started it in 2008. A memo her campaign strategist Mark Penn was sending around was hinting at Barack Obama’s “otherness,” and it had already been circulating in conservative circles for at least four years.

Again, the birther movement could not have happened without there being some energy behind it. And the Clinton origins the Donald Trump campaign are single-handedly promoting is a sign of their commitment to continue to spin the narrative even though they’ve said that they no longer want to dwell on the issue.

The details of their accusations are published by the Inquisitr, but without a doubt, the belief of the origins of the birther movement coming from Hillary Clinton’s campaign circa 2008 is largely backed by Republicans, who fall in line with Donald Trump’s new conspiracy. The reason for their motivation is to try to deny Hillary Clinton any credibility in their last chance to win The White House.

One only has to look at congress to see Republicans attempts to do what no other congress in the past has done, obstructing their way through both of President Obama’s terms in order to further discredit his presidency, and as the Inquisitr suggested, their determination to do the same should Clinton win the election.

So it makes sense that Donald Trump is finally admitting to where the President was actually born during the final months of Obama’s presidency, because at this point, the “birther” movement has accomplished what it set out to do.

And when Donald Trump says that Hillary Clinton started the “birther” controversy — without any details as to how, other than to say “you know what I mean,” Donald Trump’s supporters fall right in line to support the claim.

Why? Because Republicans have committed to this since Mitch McConnell gave the word at the beginning of Obama’s presidency, by saying that they would make sure he didn’t serve a second term in an interview with The National Journal.

After Donald Trump admitted to the president’s American birth, he followed it with saying, “now, can we get back to making America strong,” as if everyone was wasting his time. But surely for conservative-Republicans, Donald Trump’s contribution to the massive and deliberate anti-Obama campaign Republicans created, was not a waste of his time or theirs. They’ve been able to motivate the masses in order to try and get back The White House however they can, even if it means using dirty tricks through Donald Trump.
