Same drummed-up charge used against Obama to question his citizenship and legitimacy.I wonder what Obama and Kamala Harris have in common?" Navarro tweeted slamming the conspiracy theorist.Harris, 54, last week officially launched her campaign for the US presidential election in 2020 to take on President Donald Trump. Hmmmmm.
