Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) backed away on Friday from the support he seemed to express for birtherism at a town hall earlier in the week, with his spokeswoman telling TPM the lawmaker simply "misspoke" at the time.
Mullin's spokeswoman talked to TPM after multiple reports surfaced with videos showing the freshman congressman telling a woman who was preaching the birther conspiracy theory at his town hall in Afton, Okla., "I believe what you’re saying."
this is not a misspoken statement he is agreeing with her, now should the rebuttal have read he was just appeasing the town hall people to make them believe he's one of them?, but to say he misspoke is deceitful and obvious.
the real story here should not be that he said what all of them say from time to time, but where did this lady get documents she claims are real, and if they were the press would have been all over her like a lion on a pork chop, not to mention the authorities wanting to know where they came from and how she came to have them. thgat was completely left out or not pursued, shoody reporting my first guess.
