In a new interview, Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry questions the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate.

Rick Perry

Really Rick…you couldn’t just go along for the sake of your presidential aspirations?  You had to go birther on us?

How “Republican” of you…

An excerpt of an exchange in a Parade magazine interview details his dinner with Donald Trump and the conversation regarding the birth status  that went down on the birth certificate issue:

But you’ve seen his (President Obama’s birth certificate).

I don’t know. Have I?

You don’t believe what’s been released?

I don’t know. I had dinner with Donald Trump the other night.

And?

That came up.

Perry said that Trump doesn’t believe the document released by the White House is “real.” Asked if he agrees with the sentiment, the Lone Star State Republican said, “I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the president of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.”

Leading up to the release of Obama’s “long form” birth certificate in April, Trump captured headlines and sparked controversy with his persistence in raising doubt over the president’s birthplace.

Trump went as far to release his own official birth certificate. Upon the release of the president’s birth certificate, Trump said that he was very “proud” of himself.
