AFTON, Oklahoma — Although Freshman Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) believes President Obama may secretly be a Kenyan who forged his birth certificate, he thinks it’s too late to do anything about it.

During a town hall meeting Thursday afternoon, Mullin fielded a question from the self-professed “Birther Princess”. The woman presented him with documents — which he repeatedly refused to take — from Maricopa County (AZ) Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse”, which investigated whether Obama had forged his birth certificate in order to run for president. (He had, they determined, in a surprise to no one.)

Though Mullin at first appeared to be batting down the Birther Princess’s nutty theory, it quickly became clear that he only took issue with her timing, not the substance of her accusation. “I believe what you’re saying,” he told the woman, saying he thought the birther issue “probably would’ve been” big enough to drag down Obama in 2012. Mullin felt aggrieved that he had to question whether Obama was actually born in the United States, concluding that although the issue is “still there,” it’s too late to prove it to the country.

Excerpt:

Busted: Unedited Video; Think Progress Cuts Obama ID Fraud Details From Video; U.S. Congressman Says He
Doesn't "Give A Shit" About Obama ID Fraud Evidence
[ update below ]

This is an update on the previous report about Rep. Mullin being confronted about Obama's ID fraud....

Miki Booth, the constituent in the video, provided the following statement:

Think Progress edited out the entire exchange where I talked about evidence of forgery, Steve Stockman and the other 2 congressmen who believe the evidence of fraud should be heard in Congress. ...

No doubt the freshman congressman was "prepped" by his handlers on how to respond to the 'birther' issue - Shut them up, shout them down, compare them to religious zealots and tell them they "don't give a shit." [.]

Cowardly Congressman Refuses Affidavit On Obama ID Fraud
Western Center for Journalism

Congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) bristles and unloads on Miki Booth, a constituent (and friend of ours) asking about Obama’s fraudulent ID documents and irrefutable evidence of forgery, as proven by Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s MCSO Cold Case Posse. [...] Western Center for Journalism. Also picked up at Buzz Feed.

Update: Roll Call reports: On Friday, Mullin’s communications director, Ashley Kehl, told CQ Roll Call that her boss is not a birther.

Kehl said the liberal blog ThinkProgress, which first posted the exchange, had cut out part of the video.

“They have, in my opinion, spliced the video to paint my boss as a birther,” she said, adding that it’s an inference that Mullins is a birther.

Pressed on whether that inference was a major leap given Mullin’s comments, Kehl said she was not “going to argue with the words in the video.”

“He has never come out as a birther in the history of his tenure in D.C.,” she said. [...] More at Roll Call.
