Birther claims fail ultimate fact check

This is it, the end of Birthers. NBC’s Lisa Myers joins Morning Joe to discuss what she found when she followed up every lead, chased down every rumor, and followed the crazy train to Birtherville. Myers traveled from Honolulu to Kenya where Barack Obama’s step-grandmother lives. There was no stone unturned, no interview unspoken.

I’m sorry to tell you dedicated Birthers that your conspiracy doesn’t hold water. By the way, even if the conspiracy had panned out in any way – which it didn’t, it would be null and void. Obama’s mother was a United States citizen.

Birthers, you have been ill used by people with evil intentions who, I’m sorry to say – don’t really care about you. It hurts now, but you will find another all-consuming obsession, believe that! Hey, does anyone really know where Newt Gingrich was born?
