Jeanine switched gears, asking Palin what she personally thought of the controversy surrounding Obama’s American citizenship. Again, her answer was shrewd. “I believe he was born in [Hawaii],” she stated, citing the announcement of his birth in the paper. Leading with this response was smart. She appeared credible, rational and moderate. Palin also managed to pander to her base, adding that the president’s decision not to release his birth certificate was “perplexing.” If everyone knows he was born in Hawaii, what could he possibly have to hide? Sarah Palin, adding a thoughtful conservative voice to the Birther movement. Looks like the controversy, and Trump’s 15 minutes basking in the glow of the media, are far from over.
