Jim Hoft’s entire chain of logic:

1) Clinton started birther.
2) Therefore just ignore everything Trump ever did.

Everything after Clinton doesn’t matter, including Trump not only taking up mantle of being birther in chief, but keeping that flame alive for years after the BC was released. Trump then invented new conspiracies or spread other conspiracies to supplement the original conspiracy theory.

This is just all so much butthurt and pretzel logic.

Right wingers started birtherism. A few angry Clinton supporters took it up. Clinton never did. Trump then asserted he was a birther for 5 years. Clinton remained firmly in the never-birther camp, and was part of Obama’s admin as Secretary of State. She never questioned his citizenship. Trump has done nothing but question Obama’s citizenship - which is a racist/bigoted argument at its core.

This is where the right wing is.

Guess we’re going to need a bigger basket of deplorables. I think we should just shorthand that to basket of bigots, because that’s far more accurate.
