Hey, good morning and were going to start with the new developments overnight in the ever changing and often mind boggling race for the commercial. Donald trump currently in the midst of a firestorm over his extremely belated disavowal of the false Birther Campaign that he perpetuated, well, he came out with another line of attack overnight. It happened in florida where trump was accusing clinton of wanting to take away peoples guns, then he said maybe her disarm then and im quoting here, lets see what happens to her. Its not the first time that hes been accused of inciting violence. We have Team Coverage covering both of these brewing controversies but lets kick things off with abcs devin dwyer in our washington bureau. Hi, devin. Donald trump see sarcasm in this latest allusion to violence but to the Clinton Campaign its unpresident ial and downright dangerous. Welcome deplorables. Reporter donald trump overnight in florida mocking Hillary Clinton and suggesting a controversial experiment to put her in danger. Now, you know shes very much against the Second Amendment. She wants to destroy your Second Amendment. I think what we should do is she goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before. Should drop all weapons. Take their guns away, she doesnt want guns. Take lets see what happens to her. It would be very dangerous. Reporter trump didnt explain what he expected to see, but his critics say hes suggesting violence as after last month stirring up a firestorm for this. If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there, i dont gun control laws but doesnt want to repeal the Second Amendment and on friday blasted trump for his rhetoric. Lets reject the cynicism, the bullying, the divisive rhetoric that my opponent uses to make us afraid of each other. Reporter theres been no official clarification from the trump campaign. Clintons Campaign Manager overnight called trumps latest comments out of bounds and disturbing and called on other hours earlier donald trump finally put that birther issue to rest about whether president obama was, indeed, born here in the u. S. And the president himself weighed in on it. Abcs mary bruce joins us from the white house. Hi, mary. Reporter just 52 days to the election Donald Trumps highly choreographed aboutface comes as hes courting africanamerican voters conceding the truth about the president but as he drops one false theory hes spreading another one. After theory for five years, donald trump is finally admitting what has been true all along. President barack obama was born in the united states, period. Reporter a reversal but no regret and no questions. Are you going to now apologize to the president . Reporter while trump tries to close the birther book, clinton is saying not so fast. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. History. Reporter clinton is trying to turn the tables after her battle with pneumonia and she has backup. A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office and there is no way to hide who they really are. And at that point its too late. Reporter for years trump led the Smear Campaign against the nations first black president. I want him to show his birth certificate. Reporter and when the president did release his birth certificate trump took credit. Im very proud of because ive accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish. Reporter even recently trump still wouldnt say if obama was born in the u. S. Is a natural born citizen. Who knows. Who cares right now. Reporter the president , jon karl asked what he thinks. Your reaction . I, jonathan, have no reaction. I was pretty confident about where i was born. Will have any impact. The latest polls show two in ten believe the president was born in another country. As for that apology no one here is holding their breath. The White House Press secretary says the president doesnt care much. Dan and paula. Two in ten. Interesting. More on this with abc news political analyst lz granderson who joins us from l. A. Hey, lz, thanks for being with us. The trump disavowing the Birther Movement five years after helped spearhead the thing. Does his statement yesterday have any chance of putting this thing to rest for him . Probably not because the Clinton Campaign is not going to let him put it to rest. This is a very useful tool because as secretary clinton said he was sort of the figure head for this movement. But this is a conversation in regards to president obama that actually began in the First Campaign if you recall sarah real america and theyre a real america and this fake america that president obama represented. All part of the othering of the first africanamerican president and i doubt severely that secretary clinton lets this rest because its an effective tool to keep minorities and others away from donald trump. Yeah, its probably not going to help him with that minority vote which he needs. Deliberately or not, lz, trump hasnt changed the conversation that maybe Hillary Clintons bodyguards should disarm, thats string of controversial comments and bounced back every time. Do you think this time is any different as were 52 days away. Of course not. I mean, this we could have an entire series based solely upon the controversy things donald trump has said that people like me and you have said, well, this is the final straw, this is the final nail. This is the theme thats going to put donald trump away. What his supporters have shown is that theyre going to go with him until the bitter end. November always about the movable middle and they arent really moved by what donald trump sort of throws against the wall. Theyre more moved by the views of Hillary Clinton and whether or not they think Donald Trumps temperament is enough for them to get behind. Yeah, if we only had a dollar for every time we thought it would hurt him and never did. We may be millionaires by now. Lz, thanks for joining us from l. A. You can hear more from lz as well as matthew dowd in the live stream Straight Talk with math and lz this monday at eastern. Great show. Reminder, you can download the abc news app and get livestreaming breaking news reports from the campaign trail at any point.
