I highly doubt Herr Trump will listen.
Carson: Trump should apologize for pushing 'birther' conspiracy
If Donald Trump apologized for his role in the “birther” conspiracies in 2011, it could help him with African-American voters, according to Trump’s adviser, and former primary opponent, Ben Carson.
"I think that would be a good idea, absolutely," the retired neurosurgeon said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Tuesday. "I suggest that on all sides."
In 2011, Trump was one of the leading voices pushing a conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in Hawaii. In April of that year, the White House released a long-form copy of the president's birth certificate proving he was born in Honolulu.
On Monday, Trump told reporters he didn't talk about the conspiracy any more.
"Let's get all of the, you know, the hate and rancor out of the way so that we can actually discuss the issues," Carson said Tuesday.
Trump has increased his outreach to African Americans and minorities in recent weeks. Over the weekend, he visited a black church in Detroit. However, polling shows he still lags far behind Hillary Clinton among minority voters.
