u.s. citizens when she was born in south carolina. you can call it rebirtherism. joining me now are my colleagues michael steele, simone sanders townsend, elycia menendez, all hosts of the brand spanking new msnbc show "the weekend" premiering this saturday. guys, i'm so happy to have you here because there's so much to discuss and yet in a way so little as well. alicia, first off, the first question i pose to you is nikki haley's background has not been fully explored as fully donald trump would like it to be in the republican primary. and i wonder if you think that toxic line of attack could be a successful one? >> i am curious about why it is he is choosing to launch it aside from the fact it is, of course, his favorite attack.
