Romney surrogate Trump goes on Hannity, spouts birtherism, praises Orly Joe Arpaio nonsense

More lies and dog whistle racism from the birther king:

Quotes lifted from World Nut Daily - I'm not linking to them, but a transcript is a transcript:

“The fact is Sheriff Arpaio is, in my opinion, correct,” Trump told Hannity. “Nobody was ever in the hospital by the name of his mother … and a lot of crazy things.”

(...)

“If that were a conservative, let’s say a George Bush or somebody, he would have been out of office already,” he told Hannity.

and then he repeats the endlessly debunked "He's spent millions" lie yet again:

“Nobody has more sealed records than this president. So many of his applications … are sealed. He spent $3 million to keep everything sealed. You can’t find out anything about his college. I’m not talking about his marks. I’m talking about his application. It would be so interesting to see,” Trump said.

“The last thing Obama wants to do is show his college applications, how he got in, his place of birth. Sheriff Arpaio, whether you like him or not, is a serious person. He did a major investigation. The investigation is horrendous as to its results and what it shows,” he said.



So to review - Orly Joe puts out 'new' evidence
that has been debunked months ago:

then Mitt Romney's favorite website (The Drudge Report - who his campaign spokesman says they're working with)
http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/07/01/509328/romney-advisors-reveal-strategy-ignore-journalists-pander-to-right-wing-conspriacy-websites/?mobile=nc

trumpets it with a screaming lead, then Romney surrogate Trump goes on a FOX show that advocates for Romney and gives the tinfoil nonsense a big sloppy kiss and spreads more lies.

Will the beltway media hacks ask Willard to denounce it?
Will he again refuse?
And can he say with a straight face that he has no connection to any of it?
