Sen. Ted Cruz made no bones about holding dual citizenship as a result of being born in Canada of American parents. I believe that at one point he renounced his Canadian citizenship. I don't recall any serious attack on him on birther grounds.

...and of course the current First Lady violated her entry visa....but she is from one of the "acceptable" countries.

Except she IS from here.

As are AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley but that didn't stop Trump from telling them to go back to their home "countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world."

No, she's Canadian.

Even more reason to vote for her. :-D

Yes, if you are from one of the *hole countries, you don't belong here.

Oakland has (er, had) a Black Hole, maybe that counts in Trump's mind?

He’s desperate. The sheer volume of charges they’ve tried to throw at her in just two days tells me he is terrified of her and the doom she spells for his campaign.

If Individual-1 wasn't naturally prone to panic and desperation, I'd see this as a good sign that the GOP's extreme voter suppression tactics won't be enough. Alas, it's hard to get a read on the Party when their Great Leader continually comes unglued.

I heard or read about the questions concerning Sen. Harris' natural-born status or lack of it before anything that came from the President. Anyway, Sen. John McCain was subjected to the same scrutiny or attack from the other political party, and so was Sen. Ted Cruz.

So it's not as though the Republicans or this president have anything to apologize for if it comes up again.
What are the questions concerning her natural-born status?

Trump probably confused Oakland with Calcutta because of this. Far more excusable than most of what he says.

She has more than one drop of black blood and has set foot outside of the United States. That is enough for many Trump supporters.

I vaguely recall Trump promising to end birthright citizenship by executive order. What ever happened to that?

McCain's natural born status was challenged in the courts by Fred Hollander a registered republican from New Hampshire.

Ted Cruz' eligibility to be president was questioned by Cruz's eligibility was questioned by some of his primary opponents, including Donald Trump , Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, and Rand Paul.

What did Trump's mouthpiece say about Ted Cruz?

I also saw a poster describe her as “not ladylike.” Here we go...

Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to a Cuban father and an American mother!

Despite Trump and the "birthers" having spent 5 years in their efforts to undermine Barack Obama's constitutional authority to be President, the Republicans were remarkably silent when Cruz announced he was running for President!

Cruz failed to do his due diligence and was unaware that he still had dual Canadian/American until that revelation was made public by a Dallas newspaper!

The pattern where republicans have super strict and almost impossible standards.... for other people, should not have been missed by anyone over the past few years.
