Sanders: ‘It’s a Disgrace’ to Question Whether Obama Is an American or a Christian

‘I thought we were beyond that; it’s an outrage’

NAIR: “We want to bring you more of our conversation this morning with presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. During a commercial break, we asked about Republican front-runner Donald Trump, not correcting a supporter who called President Obama a Muslim who is, ‘not even an American’.”

SANDERS: “I think it's a disgrace to again question whether or not the president of the United States was born in this country or whether he's a Christian. I thought we were beyond that. It's an outrage. … Exactly. And to continue this mythology and this ugliness that suggests that the president of the United States was not born in America. We all remember Trump was one of the leaders of this effort a year ago. I thought maybe he had learned something from that."
