Top Trump Adviser Roger Stone Previously Credited Trump (Not Clinton) For Making Birtherism “Mainstream”

ROGER STONE: He knows there’s something hinky about 9/11. He knows the immigration system --

ALEX JONES (HOST): I know he’s suddenly been saying stuff about it, freaking the Bushes out. You were telling me that you’re educating him.

STONE: Well he’s a reader. The nice thing about Trump is that he’s open-minded and he was astounded by what he learned that -- as you know, Alex -- that we had numerous warnings that this was going to happen that went completely unheeded.

And it’s just like the birther question. Trump fearlessly brought that into the mainstream. You and I knew it, but you couldn’t get it on CBS or NBC or CNN or MSNBC. Trump is the guy who brought the whole question of Obama’s birth and where he was really born into the political mainstream where people could consider it. And it’s why he zoomed to the head of the polls three years ago.
