Rachel Maddow on Friday examined Jerome
Corsi's new conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama is secretly
gay.
On her MSNBC The Rachel Maddow Show,
Maddow told viewers that Corsi, author of Where's The Birth
Certificate, began promoting the theory after Obama released his
long form birth certificate.
Corsi “needed a new reason to get out
of bed every morning. And Jerome Corsi has now found one,” Maddow
said. “Did you think they would give up on this?”
Maddow shared with her audience Corsi's
supposed evidence.
“It was
preposterous to the people I knew then to think Obama was going to
keep his gay life secret,” Kevin DuJan, who reportedly worked as a
gossip columnist in Chicago, is quoted as saying in one of Corsi's
articles published on World Net Daily. “Obama used to go to
the gay bars during the week, most often on Wednesday, and they said
he was very much into older white guys.”
Corsi also claims
that a ring Obama wore while in college must mean he was secretly gay
married to his Pakistani roommate.

“Gay, gay, gay,
gay, gay, gay. World Net Daily says so,” Maddow said. “Now
the president is going to have to unveil his straight certificate –
the long form one.”
