(165,119 posts)It's because 45 is doing all this cherry-picking and pretzel-twisting of who is a citizen or not. WE know what the rules are supposed to be but he is intentionally muddying the waters with nonsense and his MAGat media are helping to magnify it.
45's mother was OFF THE BOAT from Scotland and was NOT even a citizen when his older brother was born. Some of the loons have made a fuss about "anchor babies" DESPITE at least one parent being a citizen (as was 45's case with his father being the citizen, as an "anchor baby" of his grandparents, neither of whom were citizens or born here).
The whole bizarre issue even goes back to the "birther" nonsense with Obama and that lead to all the crap about John McCain who was NOT "born in the United States" but on a base, where again, people had to explain what the deal is with that ( "military brats" in his case, born in Panama). It also points to Ted Cruz who literally was NOT born on U.S. soil and was also a dual citizen - and thanks to the GOP bullshit and people calling it out - forced him to eat crow and actually renounce his Canadian citizenship (his father was from Cuba and his mother was a U.S. citizen living in Canada where he was born).
"Turnabout" is fair play.
