Andy Martin (born 1945) is an American journalist, politician and pundit. He has appeared on Fox News and other major news outlets.
In 2004, Andy Martin was the first person to suggest that Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim, and claimed to have secret evidence of this.[1][2][3] Shortly before the 2008 Presidential Election, Martin was interviewed by CNN, at which time he retracted his claim that Obama is or had been a Muslim. Martin then claimed instead to have secret evidence that Obama is the son of Frank Marshall Davis (1905-1987), a black journalist and left-wing activist.[4]
The New York Times say Martin has a history of making spurious and vexatious lawsuits, and issuing racist and anti-Semitic statements in court.[1]
