MSNBC reporter Chris Jansing claimed President Barack Obama’s keen interest in this week’s African leadership summit stems from the fact that “he’s from Kenya” — an assertion that took over ten minutes for her to reverse.
Jansing spoke to MSNBC’s Joy Reid about the ongoing meeting of American and African leaders in Washington D.C. “The White House is clearly, I would assume, hoping this will be part of the president’s legacy, given his background,” Reid said.
“Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya,” Jansing replied breezily. “And the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them.”
The reporter realized her misstatement about ten minutes later. “Yeah, and — and just obviously to clarify, I misspoke at the top — before,” she said. “It is obviously the president’s father who is from Kenya. And you clarified that.”
“But he has a real connection,” Jansing continued. “And there has been a great expectation that great things could happen with this president and the African continent.”
Reid shrugged off the gaffe, but at MSNBC headquarters the rumors must already be swirling. Is Chris Jansing secretly a birther?

maybe she just rad the book that states on its jacket cover that he actually was born in kjenya, that was never somehow corrected by the publisher or ripped by obama for geting such a basic piece of bio info wrong.
they didnt get it wrong. the grandma who saw him born there was correct.
No accident. She spoke the truth and her handlers made her backpeddle.
“…uh..you mean your CHRISTIAN FAITH…!!!”
(blanches)
“…YES..!!! My CHRISTIAN faith..!!”
All that's been scrubbed.
LOL... yep. I mean, seriously — what actual Christian would “accidentally” refer to themselves as Muslim? What IDIOT would believe it was an accident? Clearly George Steponallofus didn’t; hence, his quick intervention to “save the day.”
My gawd... There are moments you just can’t freakin’ BELIEVE what has been happening around you for the past 6-1/2 years!
Imagine if this were a Fox anchor...oh boy would the long knives be out for Roger Ailes to read the anchor the riot act and fire him immediately.
Secretly a birther? No. Everyone knows the guy is a fraud.
He's Indonesian!
Well, he does have a pretty strong hatred of America and white people. IMHO.
Even Kenyan’s are embarrassed by this clown.
No just stupid and a Kool Aid drinker. Obama himself has claimed to be from Kenya and from Indonesia years ago when it suited his purpose (selling books, getting elected president of the Harvard Law Review). It’s a waste of time to try to catch these idiots when they say one thing or another, because pointing out their lies means nothing to them. Mocking them is perfectly ok, though.
Yep! Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot!
Very funny. Good thing it was MSNBC. Fox would lose FCC certification for such a remark.
The facts: that he’s from Kenya and a muslim, are not true.
That ought to stir things up.../s
those are your facts, not THE facts
Everyone in Washington knows Obama’s background is false -it’s common knowledge
The govt just trying to ease us into accepting the reality of the giant scheme by the govt & the msm to install a communist, anti American, Marxist, muslim homosexual degenerate into the highest office in the land.
Screw The Oath of Office, whatever means necessary.
