He still hasn't said President Obama was born in the United States, no matter what Rudy Giuliani says. Much like Giuliani and the others, Trump supporter and former congressman Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) tried to argue Friday night on MSNBC's "Hardball" that this was much ado about nothing.

    Religious Conservatives Aren't Judging Donald Trump's Questionable Christian Values
    WASHINGTON ― It’s no secret that Donald Trump hasn’t exactly been a choirboy during his presidential campaign. He’s boasted about the size of his penis on national television.
