Kris Kobach Dips Into Trump's Racist Well, Agrees That Obama's Not A Citizen

When Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach first came to light as the author of Arizona's SB 1070 "papers, please" law, it was clear he was motivated by a deep-seated hatred of people of color.

And last weekend, with President Obama in the twilight of his Presidency, he proved himself yet again when he suggested to a caller that Obama supports immigration reform because he is not a citizen.
