Whenever Donald Trump's wife pops up in the news, it's good to remember she was and remains a racist birther.
Back in 2011, Melania repeated the racist conspiracy theory pushed by her husband, and called on Barack Obama to release his birth certificate during a TV interview on 'The View'.
In the 2011 interview with host Joy Behar, Melania demanded to see the birth certificate.
Said Melania, "It's not only Donald who wants to see [Obama's birth certificate], it's [the] American people who voted for him and who didn't vote for him. They want to see that."
She's a racist.
It's why Melania's words against racism—when she's a birther—are so absurd to the Black reporters. But the white reporters dutifully quote it, without bothering to note the contradiction. https://t.co/OkstMEJezT
Friendly reminder before you watch @flotus speech tonight, she was an active member of the birther conspiracy movement. That was a racist attempt to delegitimize the President of the United States.
