POPPY HARLOW: Your candidate said today, regarding this violence that broke out in Chicago last night ahead of the Trump rally, here's what your candidate said today.
HARLOW: But what about those who argue, "Where was Kasich? Where were the other members of the GOP establishment during the past few years as some in the party attacked the President, President Obama with false claims, talking about where he was born, his citizenship, and many of them just stood by? Where was he then?"?
MATT BORGES, OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN: Well, John Kasich has been running a positive campaign throughout this entire effort in his run for President, and I don't think anyone would ever argue anything otherwise. All those things you brought up were actually created by the Democrats, were created by Hillary Clinton in 2008, and some of the-
HARLOW: What? What? Wait, wait.
BORGES: -wild things that Donald Trump says, we just don't think are representative of our party-
HARLOW: What, what do you, wait, what do you mean? What do you -- what do you mean? What do you mean when you say those were created by Hillary Clinton? What do you mean?
BORGES: I mean the, I mean the birther movement. I mean, I mean the birther movement. I mean the notion that-
HARLOW: You're saying Hillary Clinton is to blame for the birth-
BORGES: -somehow Barack Obama was a secret Muslim. Those things came out of the-
HARLOW: You're saying Hillary Clinton is to blame for the birther movement?
BORGES: Those things came out of the 2008, those things came out of the 2008 very ugly Democratic primary that went on on their side that lasted until June, and then of course Barack Obama became their nominee and then ended up winning the presidency, so-
HARLOW: Can you clarify for me how you're pointing to Hillary Clinton for starting the birther movement against the current President?
BORGES: Well, I think it's well-documented that that was, in fact, where this all came from, the 2008 primary that the Clinton campaign started these rumors about Barack Obama, and they were still able to come together as a family for the Democratic party. Our party will heal, and, on Tuesday, when John Kasich wins the Ohio primary, we'll start to set this election on a much different course.
HARLOW: All right, Hillary Clinton, just, we're gonna move on, but Hillary Clinton never asked for the President's, you know, then-Senator Barack Obama's birth certificate. Donald Trump led a lot of it, and a lot of people, and Mitt Romney wanted Donald Trump's endorsement and got it at the time, and he was the leading candidate on your side.
