WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Sen. Bernie Sanders knocked Donald Trump's "birther" campaign against President Barack Obama, noting that Sanders' own father was born in Poland, and yet "nobody has ever asked me for my birth certificate."
Sanders visited Hoover High School in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday, stumping for his presidential campaign. In response to a student who asked what Sanders thought about immigrants, the Vermont senator attacked Trump.
"As I mentioned to you earlier, my father was born in Poland. Like Obama, I am the son of an immigrant father. Nobody has ever asked me for my birth certificate. Maybe it's because of the color of my skin being different than Obama's," Sanders, I-Vt., said. CNN reported students cheered the response.
Trump was once one of the loudest voices questioning whether Obama was a natural born U.S. citizen.
