The head of the Congressional Black Caucus is calling Donald Trump a "disgusting fraud" after the Republican presidential nominee reversed course after five years and said President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina made the comments Friday shortly after Trump, who has been a leader of the "birther" movement for several years, made his statement.
Other members of the CBC told reporters that Trump has tried to delegitimize Obama, the first African-American president. California Rep. Barbara Lee called Trump a liar.
