The latest FEC filings show that Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), the author and main sponsor of the infamous “Birther Bill” in the House to require Presidential candidates to submit proof of citizenship, is receiving financial support from some prominent people — namely, the House GOP leadership, in their regular donations to GOP incumbents.
Minority Leader John Boehner’s PAC, the Freedom Project, donated $5,000 to Posey’s campaign in June. Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s ERICPAC gave $7,500.
On the one hand, there’s nothing unusual about the leadership giving money to an incumbent. On the other hand, not every incumbent has refused to say for sure that President Obama is a U.S. citizen
