DONALD TRUMP: Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it. You know what I mean. President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we want to get back to making American strong and great again. Thank you.

So, in a speech that, in all likelihood, never would have been carried by any of the networks -- they all carried it.

Now, he does put this birther issue to rest. Hillary Clinton has to ignore it.

Now, Trump isn't pushing the Birther controversy or conspiracy. Now, there is something odd about this that I always said at the time I was never quote “a birther.” But, like, for example, somebody asks me -- I'm running for office -- Hannity, let's see your birth certificate, which most candidates at some point I guess have to hand over. We know that he went to a Muslim school in Jakarta.
