Conway: Obama's half-brother invited to debate because 'we’re inclusive'

Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said the Manhattan billionaire invited President Barack Obama’s half-brother, a Trump supporter, to the third presidential debate because the Trump campaign is “very inclusive.”

“He wanted to come and we're happy to give him a ticket,” Conway said Wednesday of Malik Obama on MSNBC hours before the debate. “We’re happy to invite him.”


She denied that the Trump campaign was trying to revive false accusations by the Republican candidate that the president was born in Kenya by bringing his Kenyan-born half-brother to the debate.

Trump has also invited Patricia Smith, the mother of a Benghazi victim who has previously blamed Hillary Clinton for the death of her son.

For her part, Clinton has invited billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman.
