Donald Trump has made it clear that certainly over the last few years that President [Barack] Obama was born in Hawaii.

The point is not where Barack Obama was born, the point is is that we've got congressmen on the Democratic side of the aisle that are questioning the legitimacy of President-elect [Donald] Trump who won in an electoral landslide.
