And he lied under oath about it. Seems to be SOP for this cabinet.

Trump was born in Kenya.

It’s okay when Republicans do it. The private email AND the lying.

Isn’t it a fact that DJT was not born on the American continent, but on one of the islands off its coast?

English Wikipedia says he was born in [Jamaica,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica,_Queens) as I suspected. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉

If it’s any consolation, I would like you as President just as much as I like Trump.

I would vastly prefer him to Trump. If Trump posted here, he would have undoubtedly been banned long ago.

Well that’s just embarrassing. Stuff like this helps delegitimize the mountain of valid criticisms this administration provides daily. Why sink to their level?

Awwww, they’re so _cute_ when they pretend they find sexism distasteful!

Yeah, pretty dumb and offensive thing to say and doesn’t help.

Who cares whether they “really” find it distasteful. It damn well _is_ distasteful, and it damn well _should_ be condemned. And the congressman should make a sincere apology, not just to Ms. Conway but to his constituents and presumably his spouse and family.

Guys. You are totally fucking things up for the next time a Republican gets caught on a hot mic wanting to grab someone by the pussy. You know, when the tighty-righties will point to Rep. Cedric Richmond’s sophomoric joke and then claim it is totally worse and then claim that no libtard ever demanded that \*\*\*he \*\*\*apologize!

Don’t you want things to be fun here, ferchrissakes?

Do you think they forgot that Trump is on camera bragging about grabbing women by the pussy? And that he never apologized for it?

Yup, he’s a bonehead. I predict his remark will be given ten times more airplay on Fox News than all of Trump’s sexism combined.
