The conspiracy theory over the birthplace of the former president Barack Obama has reared its head again during a heated discussion on CNN.
Host Anderson Cooper was talking to the author Jerome Corsi, whom he described as an “advocate of many conspiracy theories,” including the one casting doubt on whether Obama was actually born in the United States, a constitutional requirement to serve as president.
Corsi dismissed the CNN host’s claim that he promoted conspiracy theories about what happened during the 9/11 attacks, before his lawyer Larry Klayman interjected to question the veracity of the former president’s birth certificate.
