Email Chain About Steve Bannon Interview and Obama Birther Theory Criticism (File 030406)
Email exchange between Jeffrey E. and Kathy Ruemmler discussing Steve Bannon's media appearance and criticisms of Donald Trump's promotion of the birther conspiracy theory regarding Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency.
Summary
An email thread from July 2018 in which Kathy Ruemmler criticizes Donald Trump for promoting the false birther theory that Barack Obama was not born in the US and was therefore an illegitimate president. She argues Trump should not defend such lies and that defending such falsehoods undermines credibility. Jeffrey E. responds by agreeing to pass along Ruemmler's concerns. The exchange references a Steve Bannon interview from Dutch news outlet Nieuwsuur.
