Angle Must Reject Endorsement, Denounce Declaration Alliance

Group supporting Angle believes Obama was not born in US

Despite touting the endorsement of extremist Birther group Declaration Alliance on her website, a spokesman for GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle claims “she’s not a Birther.”

But if Angle really isn’t a Birther, she’ll come out of the bunker to make one simple statement:

“Barack Obama is unquestionably a natural-born American citizen and is the legitimate President of the United States.”

The Declaration Alliance’s position that the president wasn’t born in the U.S. is actually among their more mainstream views. And as Angle continues to crow about the endorsement on her site – which has been scrubbed of the lion’s share of its content - local and national media are beginning to question whether Angle is also hiding from her Birther beliefs.

“It’s not enough for a spokesperson to say ‘she’s not a Birther’ and leave it at that.  Given so many other things that have come out of her mouth, stating her belief that the President is legally qualified to serve our country would be the least controversial,” said Phoebe Sweet, communications director for the Nevada State Democratic Party. “It’s no surprise that Sharron Angle holds some extreme and dangerous ideas – we already know she wants to kill Social Security and Medicare, thinks families with two working parents are wrong and wants to make Nevada the nation’s nuclear waste dump. But to tout the endorsement of a group that – despite incontrovertible evidence to disprove their crackpot conspiracy theory – questions the citizenship of the President of the United States is both embarrassing and deeply troubling. Sharron Angle must come out of the bunker and clarify her true belief.”
