Who is 'they'? The politicians or random citizens?
- scarface74 7y agoUntil the last election, it was random crazies that weren't mainstream. In fact, McCain shut them down at rallies when they mentioned it. Romney didn't shut them down as forcefully but he didn't actively partake in it.
- krapp 7y agoI'm certain the crazies weren't entirely random, just as the sudden rise of the Tea Party at the time wasn't entirely grassroots.
- ikeyany 7y agoDonald Trump was a large part of this disinformation campaign. The whole Kenyan birther campaign was a racist dogwhistle.
