#1473: Mike Coffman

Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 6th congressional district since 2009, having formerly served as the Secretary of State of Colorado. He is famous for his birther sympethies, and during a campaign fundraiser in 2012 he declared that “I don’t know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I don’t know that. But I do know this, that in his heart, he’s not an American. He’s just not an American.” He later claimed that he “misspoke”, which he rather clearly didn’t. He may not have anticipated that a recording from the meeting be made public, but apparently some of the contributors at the meeting (e.g. Brooks Imperial, who made the recording) agreed with the sentiment and thought it should be distributed more widely. He later also walked back on his apology, praising those who don’t believe Obama was born in the United States: “[Issues are] going to determine this election, not focusing on the birther question. God bless people that do that. I understand their passion.”

2. Knowing the odds were one in several thousand, I clicked anyway.

No winner this time. But I'll keep checking.
