On his show last night, Chris “Fredo” Cuomo called Newsmax’s Wayne Allyn Root a “birther” numerous times. . .
President Trump "won't even release his taxes, this President, and you're saying that Obama had some litmus test of proving his citizenship?"@ChrisCuomo fires back at Newsmax founder and longtime Trump friend Chris Ruddy who was defending Wayne Allyn Root's birtherism. pic.twitter.com/SQoWj6P6zi

. . .and now Root, who says he’s not a birther, is threatening a lawsuit over it:
@cnnbrk @CNN @CNNPolitics @ChrisCuomo Why did you lie about me? Amazing. Is this USA? I was never a birther. Never. Ever. Not once anywhere. Won't ask me on to debate & defend myself. Why? Afraid of #truth? Only question is HOW BIG IS THE LAWSUIT?https://t.co/Dmdc4Es5le

“I’ve never been a birther in my life,” he tweeted:
@cnnbrk @CNN @CNNPolitics @ChrisCuomo lied.
Slandered me. I've never been a birther in my life. Not once. Never. Ever. The only question is HOW BIG IS THE LAWSUIT? Is that why they're scared to death to have me on? Bad mouth me behind my back, but not to my face. #COWARDS https://t.co/KJZ0GI8N3E— Wayne Allyn Root (@RealWayneRoot) August 22, 2019
More from Root in 2018:
I've never been a "birther." But I've always said Obama's story is B.S. He's a fraud. Nothing about his past at Columbia U as my classmate adds up. Strange remarks from Obama himself, huh? Laughing at USA? https://t.co/E3rB9Ekdrn

Root has shared birther-related content on Twitter, however, including at least one birther joke:
Only big-mouthed New Yorkers have the chutzpah to ask a simple question- "Where is your birth certificate Obama?"
