Shameful! Today, Sunday, Trump still dodging Obama birther/Muslim questions: (BOG)
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday refused to answer several questions about whether President Obama was born in the United States, adding, however, that "some people" have already said there is a Muslim in the White House.
“So for the record, was President Obama born in the United States?” George Stephanopoulos asked during an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
“Well, you know, I don't get into it, George,” Trump responded. “I think about jobs. I'm talking about the military. I don't get into it. I mean they ask that question and I just want to talk about the things, because frankly, it's of no longer of interest to me. We're beyond that. And it's just something I don't talk about.
“I want to talk about the military. I want to talk about the vets and how badly they're treated. I want to talk about jobs. I don't get it that, George.”
Stephanopoulos then said the way to get beyond the issue “is to answer yes or no.”
“Well, that's -- that's possible, but I don't get into it and I just don't talk about it.” Trump relied.
“President Obama was born in the United States,” Stephanopoulos later said. “You've raised it many times. And he's not a Muslim?”
“George, you have raised the question,” Trump answered. “I haven't raised the question. I don't talk about it and I don't like talking about somebody else's faith. He talks about his faith and he can do that. But I don't talk about other people's faith. It's not appropriate for me to talk about somebody else's faith.”
Trump did go a bit further on NBC's "Meet the Press," however, when asked whether he would support a Muslim in the White House.
“Would I be comfortable? I don't know if we have to address it right now,” Trump said. “I mean, some people have said it already happened, frankly.”...
