The birthers just can’t let it go. Despite the embarrassing episode last week involving Arizona’s secretary of state, Donald Trump has reentered the fray.

Capitol Watch reports:

CNN has this report on Mitt Romney standing by Donald Trump despite the Donald’s fresh charge that Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii.

Excerpt:

Asked on his charter plane Monday night whether Trump’s questioning of Obama’s birthplace gave him pause, Romney said he was grateful for all his supporters.

“You know, I don’t agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don’t all agree with everything I believe in,” Romney said. “But I need to get 50.1% or more and I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.”

Romney has said in the past that he firmly believes Obama was born in Hawaii, and is thus constitutionally eligible to be president.
