I mean, even if she did take it and proved her claims, would people believe it anyway? Not like people stopped it with Obama after all.


Outside of fringe lunatics, it did stop that though. I don't recall any politicians or mainstream news figures bringing it up again.

How many still actually believe it though? I confess I rarely pay attention to American politics, and this Warren stuff even less so but the "main conspiracy theorists" seem to stick with what they do no matter what and offer no apology for their blatant lies when proven wrong.

(For example, Trump. I hear he is currently the president in America)


Trump stopped with the birther stuff after he released the long-form certificate also.

edit: that article cites this one

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/28/us/politics/trump-access-hollywood-tape.html?_r=0

which states

Advisers say he continues to privately harbor a handful of conspiracy theories that have no grounding in fact.

In recent months, they say, Mr. Trump has used closed-door conversations to question the authenticity of President Barack Obamas birth certificate.
