CBS News ^ | September 7, 2016 | Rebecca Shabad

Donald Trump surrogate Ben Carson said Tuesday that it would be smart for Trump to apologize for his “birther” comments, made about President Obama during the 2012 presidential campaign.

In an interview on CNN, the retired neurosurgeon and Trump surrogate was asked whether the “birther nonsense” was a mistake and if Trump should apologize so that black voters might be more willing to listen to him.

Trump will apologize for this as soon as Obama proves where he was born, and answer the many unanswered questions regarding this.

“Trump won the battle to get Obama to show something to validate his eligibility”

A forgery.

He was right to ask since no one is above the law. It was the absolute bare minimum for Obama to comply with and he failed although it looked to many he came through after dragging many good people through the mud in a sadistic race-baiting maneuver.

Tactically, he has many more blacks who are going to vote for him than the last two Republican candidates. If he apologizes now he would look to lose face and credibility.

Carson sometimes says really stupid things in public. I think he is very intelligent but it’s true.

“...controversy made more controversial by Obama’s refusal to produce his records.”

Yeah, he should not apologize for PUSUING THE TRUTH about the fraud in the WH...who locked up all his records so nobody could see them. He is a LYING FRAUD (just for starters) and many have tried to expose the facts. Why should any of them apologize??? For what???

Some of us still have our doubts.

Michelle said Kenya was his homeland. Shouldn’t she know?

No, Trump should not.

The so-called “birther nonsense” was a classic Alinsky tactic used to undermine the Constitution.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

A forgery.

Yup, as Obama's entire term as President has been.

Nevertheless, Trump made Obama do what no one else could make Obama do - show SOMETHING, even if it was a phony which I think it was. Nevertheless, I consider it a victory for Trump and was a big reason for turning my head and seeing Trump as someone who would not back down to PC or anything else.

Carson's full of it and Trump should not back down.

Like, "Which planet do you come from, Barry, if that's your real name?"

Yep. And Barack called Michelle "Mike" in public. Shouldn't he know?

No was should Trump apologize. He posed legitimate questions.

The birth certificate of every presidential candidate should be open to the public.

I heard part of zero speech in his recent trip to Indonesia was it. It was disgusing.

He was talking about how he grew up there and how the streets where like home to him....

What would be a good idea would be for Trump to point out (with specifics) that Hillary was the first to suggest that Obama might not have been born in this country during the 2008 campaign....
