Donald Trump is continuing to refuse to acknowledge that President Obama was born in the United States. In an interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday, Trump refused to answer a reporter’s question about whether he accepts that Obama was born in Hawaii, instead saying, “I’ll answer that question at the right time. I just don’t want to answer it yet.” In contrast, Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, acknowledges President Obama was born in Hawaii. Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has also contradicted Trump, claiming he now accepts Obama was born in the U.S. Trump has long been a leader of the so-called birther movement, which former Secretary of State Colin Powell has slammed in recently leaked emails as being a “racist” movement.
