“I must tell you that just before I got off the plane a bomb went off in NY and nobody knows what’s going on”, Trump said.

The Republican presidential candidate has long incorrectly suggested his Democratic opponent wants to overturn the Second Amendment and take away Americans’ right to own guns. He has said Democrats are responsible for the challenges in the urban communities. Pence said that there are reporters who trace the “birther movement all the way back to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2008” and that “the facts speak for themselves”, although he wouldn’t list any such facts.
Tim Kaine of Virginia, launched an all-out assault during appearances on several Sunday political talk shows, declaring that the Republican nominee is encouraging his supporters to engage in violence.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are locked in a tight battle in Florida, according to the latest polling from the Sunshine State. You know what I mean. “Period.” Solis Doyle had said on CNN on Friday that a campaign volunteer in 2007 forwarded an email that “promoted the conspiracy”, but the campaign fired that person and apologized to Obama. “If they’ve – if they’ve clung to the view for five years, as Donald Trump has, that President Obama is not a citizen of this country, I don’t think they’re going to change their views”, he added.
The comment marks yet another U-turn for the Republican candidate, who previously said he supported the idea of normal relations, but wished the USA had negotiated a better deal.
At the end of a week when the health of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump became a focal point in the race, over two-thirds of Americans said it is important for presidential candidates to release detailed personal health records. Christie referenced a comment made by former Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle but inaccurately summarized what she said.
Mr. Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, called Mr. Kaine’s assertion “absolute nonsense”, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a top Trump surrogate, called on Mr. Kaine to apologize.
“I do believe that this was inciting violence”.
Kaine, speaking on a string of morning shows, said Trump pushed a “bigoted lie” created to undermine the legitimacy of the country’s first African-American president, and needs to be pressed about whether he really believed it.
In a January interview with Tapper’s colleague Wolf Blitzer, Trump said he’d reveal his “theory” on Obama’s birthplace in a book.
“This is so painful to so many Americans because they remember our history”, Kaine said.

But in August 2012, in just one example of Trump bringing the subject up, he tweeted: “An “extremely credible source” has called my office and told me that BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud”.
