White House Responds To Trump’s ‘Muslim Obama’ Controversy, Says THIS About Trump Supporters
The Obama administration lashed out against both GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and his supporters regarding comments from a Trump fan that the president is Muslim and not an American citizen.
“What’s also unfortunate is that Mr. Trump isn’t the first Republican politician to countenance these kinds of views in order to win votes,” said White House Secretary Josh Earnest.
Earnest said the majority of Trump’s supporters maintain “offensive” views.
The comment regarding Obama’s background came as a Trump supporter posed a question about Muslims to Trump during a rally on Sept. 17. Trump glossed over the offensive comment and answered the question, saying his team is “going to be looking at a lot of different things.” A second supporter publicly stated he believed the comments stated earlier. Trump listened and quickly moved on to another question.
A Public Policy Poll finds that 66 percent of Trump supporters believe Obama is Muslim, with only 12 percent believing he is Christian. The poll also indicates that 61 percent of Trump fans believe Obama was born outside the United States.
Earnest said in his statements on Sept. 18 that the problem extends deep into the Republican Party. He tried to back up his position by stating that that Republicans haven’t condemned Trump for his response. In actuality, both Republicans and Democrats have criticized the billionaire for not taking his supporters to task over the comments.
The press secretary also accused Republicans of other actions he deemed racially motivated. He said the GOP defended the Confederate rebel flag, blocked immigration reform and wanted to change the Voting Rights Act.
In reality, several Republican governors opted to removed Confederate battle flags from state grounds in the wake of a church massacre in South Carolina. The Senate has considered several immigration bills, approving bipartisan S.B. 744 in 2013. It died after failing to pass the House, which was primarily Republican. Several states have pushed for mandatory identification laws in voting procedures, but only a handful have implemented them.

I’ve seen videos where Obama himself has admitted and bragged about his muslim background. What are they talking about?
A Marxist Kenyan Muslim to be exact.
