Quote:Fox News' Heather Childers - co-anchor of Fox & Friends First and a news anchor on America's News HQ - was just curious, she says, as she asked yesterday for her Tweeps' "thoughts" on the following question: Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life 2 Keep Parents Silent? Childers got her "curiosity" from a post on the right-wing birther site, GodfatherPolitics.com, which raised the same question. UPDATED. (H/T John K.)

According to the GodfatherPolitics post, Bill Clinton was threatening to go public about President Obama's birth certificate until "someone associated with the Obama campaign told him that his daughter Chelsea would be (murdered) if he opened his mouth.From that point on, the Clinton’s remained silent about Obama’s birth certificate or lack thereof."

As Business Insider noted, The tweet sparked quite a bit of Internet outrage toward Childers, but the Fox anchor kept her cool, encouraging fellowers (sic) to "participate" in the debate but refrain from namecalling. "Conversation is good," she tweeted several times. 

Childers also tweeted an apology "if the article offended anyone."

But she seems to be a genuine birther:

She also tweeted yesterday to ask for "thoughts" on the Supreme Court supposedly saying that the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate is "cause for concern."

And, not surprisingly, she's a fan of birther Donald Trump, and tweeted that she's hoping he'll come on one of her shows.

Childers' tweets could well be the mother of all Cavuto marks.


UPDATE: Mediaite (h/t Media Matters) reports that Fox Senior VP Michael Clemente has said, “The tweets have been addressed with Heather and she understands this was a mistake.”

Mind you...the POTUS thinks FOX News is the only real news.

Says a lot.  An awful lot.
