“Dad, she believes in the same things that we do…,”

Those were the magic words that got a dad to change his mind on voting a candidate who was not born in Canada.

A friend said her father didn’t want to vote for the black Conservative Leadership candidate, Dr. Leslyn Lewis, because she was not born in Canada.

Well, it appears President Trump and many others in the US have not had a daughter speak to them as they do not only have a problem with voting someone born outside the US, but have no problem making it up even when they were born in the US.

From President Obama, to now presumptive Democratic US VP Candidate, kamala harris, who’s not just of African and Indian heritage but was born in Oakland, California, the first Black and South Asian American woman on a presidential ticket.

President Trump is back at it again, re-kindling the same birther conspiracy he propagated with Hawaiian born President Obama.

Does the fact that someone is born abroad affects his or her ability to lead?
