GOP Rep. Tells Angry Birther: ‘I Believe What You’re Saying’ (VIDEO)

Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was fielding questions at the event in Afton, Okla. when a woman asked him about "Obama's identification."

"Let me just stop you right there. You're talking about the birth certificate?" Mullin said. "We lost that argument Nov. 6. We had four years to get that proven. We didn't. We re-elected him. So that's a dead issue."

His answer prompted the woman to present documents produced last year by Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio that purportedly showed Obama's birth certificate is a "fraud." Birthers believe in a theory that has been debunked numerous times that Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States and therefore ineligible to be president. When Mullin refused to take the papers, the woman stood before the crowd and detailed their contents.

...

"I believe what you’re saying and I don’t support this president whatsoever," he told her. "But ma’am, we lost Nov. 6. We had the opportunity to get another president in there."

The woman shouted over Mullin, decrying that Obama won't "be held accountable to a crime that goes to the very root of what he's doing to this Constitution."

All collect their entitlements, but don't want anybody else to get theirs. And still crying about the birth certificate.

support this President even if he does what they have long wanted. They would rather tear the country apart and bring us all down than to support this President.
