Heidi Przybyla: Trump Tried to Delegitimize Obama by ‘Questioning His Citizenship’

‘We’ve seen that Trump, if there was one person that he had gone after even before his unlikely rise in this election, it was trying to basically delegitimize the president’

PRZYBYLA: "No. No. We won't be there for that part, though. You know, we will see a small portion of this at the end, which President Obama will do justice to the institution itself. And I think that's the way that he maybe gets through this moment because this has been so personal between these two men. We've seen that Trump, if there was one person that he had gone after even before his unlikely rise in this election, it was trying to basically delegitimize the President, based -- questioning his citizenship. And secondly, just the efforts, you know, his first priority is going to be to try and basically roll back the President's signature legacy item, which is ObamaCare. It's questionable how much they're actually able to do that because I studied this when I was in Congress. And this reconciliation measure, which requires a lower number of votes to get things done, using that, you can only peel back certain portions of ObamaCare. And so you can't really -- it's really a false equivalence."
