She called on the Republican to apologise to the president. As a presidential candidate, he has declined to say the President was born in the United States – until Friday.

In response to the magnate’s remarks on Friday, Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy told Trump Saturday that if Clinton is assassinated, “the blood will be on your hands”.
The President will not sharply engage Trump for years of stirring conspiracy theories about his birthplace.
Speaking in North Carolina, he claimed that Mrs Clinton wanted to abolish the second amendment, adding: “By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. I finished it”, Mr Trump said. Trump held a press conference where he took credit for the development, but said he still needed to assess the document. In August 2012, for example, Trump was pushing the issue on Twitter. “For five years he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president”, she said.
“It’s not about golf course promotions or birth certificates”. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. “Nobody knows”, he told Karl.
“I was pretty confident about where I was born”, Mr. Obama said in the Oval Office.
Meanwhile, the backdrop of blue curtains that Trump had spoken in front of collapsed, toppling a row of American flags like dominoes. The Republican candidate portrayed Clinton as out of touch with everyday reality in which some US inner cities are “far more risky than Afghanistan” but she doesn’t realize because she “lives behind gates and walls and guards”.
“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period”, he added.
Trump is known for spending less on television advertisements, compared with his opponent Hillary Clinton.
Politifact has debunked that claim, saying in 2015 that the theory started with Clinton supporters in 2008, not the candidate herself.
After Trump concluded his speech, his campaign sent out a news release with his remarks, highlighting his comments about Cuba and Venezuela – but misspelling the latter “Venezuala”.
“We got played, again, by the Trump campaign, which is what they do”, CNN’s chief national correspondent John King said.
Clinton has long denounced it as a “racist lie”. Immediately. What do you think. Yes? “I just don’t want to answer it yet”.
Hillary Clinton, Obama’s former secretary of state and the Democrat looking to succeed the president, lauded Obama and directly took on the birther controversy that has been swirling.
