660 Kayleigh McEnany is being attacked on social media, for being a "birther". For those of you who don't know, a birther is a person who believes Barack Obama was not born in the United States. It's probably due to the fact that Obama was not born in the US.

I mean, it's not as if it has been an American tradition to accuse African Americans of being born in other countries. And McCain faced a similar accusation regarding his origins in Panama (and no one ever called that a racist attack against a white man).
