Roland Martin Slams Birtherism; Rails Against The Tea Party

Roland Martin finds it funny that the Tea Party has not questioned Sen. Ted Cruz’s citizenship, even though the Texas lawmaker, who has an American-born mother, was born in Canada.  Today on “NewsOne Now,” callers weighed in on a double standard when it comes to President Barack Obama’s citizenship. Noted  Martin:

I think it is utterly hilarious to listen to Tea Party folks for years — even that plumb idiot, Donald Trump —  question the citizenship of President Obama, continue to assert [the question] on Fox News, on talk radio. but when it comes to Ted Cruz – oh, it’s all good!

Plus, Roland calls out the politicians who are responsible for the government shutdown.
