A Republican candidate to challenge former vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine for a Senate seat in Virginia has suggested Barack Obamas birth certificate is a forgery, in a tweet that paired the debunked conspiracy theory with the controversial Alabama Senate race.
Corey Stewart was Virginia state chairman for Donald Trump in 2016, then ran Ed Gillespie close for the Republican nomination in this years Virginia gubernatorial election.
On Friday night, he tweeted: @TheDemocrats got cocky forging @BarackObama birth certificate. Thought they could slip phony #AllredYearbookFraud by on @MooreSenate. Sad!!
Stewarts reference to the AllredYearbookFraud was a response to reports on Friday that one of the women who has accused GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a teenager added text to what she says is Moores signature in her high-school yearbook.

At this point I'd embrace a real Kenyan with a real Kenyan birth certificate in lieu of Trump.
