4:52Now PlayingPundit and Very Serious Person Mark Halperin recently went on Morning Joe to minimize Donald Trump’s birther fiasco. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"MJ regular Mark Halperin made a somewhat enigmatic observation.
Host Joe Scarborough opined that Trump’s latest Birther performance appears to have softened his support in recent polls, and for some reason, Halperin wondered just how much “real people” had been paying attention, even as he asserted that Trump still has some explaining to do about the controversy:
You know, I’m not sure how much real people even paid attention to that back and forth. I’ll correct you. You said it was a press conference. As we know, it wasn’t. It was a statement, supposed to be a press conference. And the only reason I bring that up is, except for talking to Fox News, he’s not talked to any other media that I know of about this. I still think he’s got more explaining to do because of the sensitivity of the issue, because of the dark blot on his mark for the position he held for so long against the facts.
I’m not sure who it is Halperin thinks are “real people” and who are not, but he ought to be well-acquainted with the folks who care about the Birther smear, from both sides of the issue.”*
