Joe Biden's daughter trashes birther Donald Trump
The White House has not piped up about Donald Trump yet, but Vice President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley had some choice words for The Donald on her Facebook page Thursday night — saying the developer "makes me ill" and "bring it on!"
The Facebook missive by Ashley Biden, who is in her late 20s, came after another day of Trump dominating cable news shows with talk about President Barack Obama's birth certificate. It's an online outburst that was unlikely to have been sanctioned by the White House. POLITICO viewed the posts on page, which is under the name Ashley Blazer, her middle name.
Roughly a dozen people "liked" the post about Trump by early evening, and Ashley Biden added to her own initial post. "This discussion or debate over whether or not President Obama has an American birth certificate is just so insulting!," she said.
"Boycotting the Apprentice!" she added later.
A Biden spokeswoman declined to comment Thursday night.
Trump's play into the debunked theory that Obama wasn't born in America, along with his more recent claims that he has investigators on the ground in Hawaii poking around, have propelled the "birther" debate into the mainstream media in a way like never before.
Trump was on the "Today" show on Thursday morning reiterating his claims, along with other news shows.
Obama has long since released a "certificate of live birth" showing he was born in Hawaii. There were also two birth announcements within a few days of his birth in Hawaiian newspapers.
Still, the so-called 'birthers" — who question whether Obama was born in the U.S. — have insisted that since he hasn't produced a certified birth certificate, he is trying to conceal something.
Ashley Biden wouldn't be the first daughter of a national campaigner to make some noise on Facebook. In 2007, then-GOP hopeful Rudy Giuliani's daughter Caroline noted on Facebook that she was an Obama supporter.
