So-called “birther queen” Orly Taitz is considering running for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat in 2012.

“I think I do have a chance specifically because I do speak Spanish and I speak Hebrew,” Taitz told the Sacramento Bee following a town hall event on Latino issues at the California Republican Party convention.

A Senate run, Taitz said would “give me a platform to talk about the issues that corrupt establishment… are refusing to talk about.”

Taitz is still clinging to the false theory that President Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii. After Obama released his long-form birth certificate in April, Taitz told TPM that the certificate could be fake because it said his father’s race was “African” and not “Negro.”
