Apparently, he has - I've never heard him "yelling out the stupidity" of calling our President a Empowerer Feb 2016 #78
Was he asked it directly one on one in an interview as she was? polly7 Feb 2016 #82
Other politicians would stand up and say 'Obama is not a Muslim!' Kentonio Feb 2016 #254
You're right, he would have done that, as well as denounce the claim itself because polly7 Feb 2016 #261
