Obama Citizenship
Upon assuming the Oval Office in 2009, 58% of Republican constituents believed that Obama was an illegitimate president because “he is not an American citizen”. The saddest aspect of the ignorance in the Republican camp was that a few Republican Legislators also shared and promoted the falsehood. Donald Trump peddled that idea, promoted it during Obama’s tenure in office; Mr. Trump grudgingly rejected the falsehood about Obama’s citizenship when pressed during an interview after clinching the Republican nomination.
