    The point is that questions about legitimacy precede fights over policy. I think I made that clear, repeatedly. https://twitter.com/owillis/status/810703470361800704 …

        If you think I'm saying that ?s about Obama's birth are comparable to questions about Trump's conflicts etc., I did not. Look again.

        @mikel1814 The birther conspiracy was an attack on the legitimacy of the presidency itself — not a debate over policy or plans.

        It was false, as I say repeatedly; this is not, as I say repeatedly.

        The point was the effect of that attack on the presidency itself. And the reality of the existence of that attack.

        Get the point you're attempting. Still lines up a baseless GOP tactic alongside genuine probable cause to ? Trump legitimacy.

        And in so doing, you diminish / downplay real concerns re foreign interference in our election & sanitize birtherism.

        Bitherism was never a typical political tactic. Insidious. illogical. Only given oxygen because Black = Other/alien in America @chrisgeidner

        Stuck on the article still. Keep finding illogic. It is POLICY. Real constitutional questions from scholars! Birthirism? No.

        I am talking about fights over prez policy — & that fights over legitimacy precede them. That's all I mean w "policy" above.

        With Obama, the "fight over legitimacy" was pure demagoguery. With Trump it's a real, and serious concern you're trivializing. @chrisgeidner

        Is there evidence that foreign agents colluded to undermine the legitimacy of the 2016 Presidential election?

        @owillis except this IS policy. No divestment. Emoluments clause will be violated. IC evidence of potential treason.

        Also: You say Trump took credit UNTIL Obama produced Birth cert. Factually incorrect. He continued to take credit well AFTER.

        You are equating two very different issues to conveniently arrive at your predetermined point.

        Wait - was there ever any evidence that Obama was not born in the United States?

        Again - why did you repeatedly call it a "new birther conspiracy?" What's the conspiracy? How's it birther-related whatsoever?
