"Hillary and her campaign started 'birther' mvmt"- Dems frantically rewriting history

[Little-Acorn]

Today Donald Trump mentioned that "Hillary and her campaign started the 'birther' movement".

Democrats immediately went ballistic, and started rewriting what he said, almost before the microphone had cooled.

"Trump still says Hillary started the birther movement!!! That's a lie!!!"

No, libbies, Trump said she and her campaign started it.

What actually happened, back in 2008 as Hillary fought a bitter campaign against Barack Obama?

According to The Telegraph, a major newspaper in England:


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8478044/Birther-row-began-with-Hillary-Clinton-supporters.html

"...supporters of Hillary Clinton, now Mr Obama’s Secretary of State, are largely to blame for starting it.
It was not until April 2008, at the height of the intensely bitter Democratic presidential primary process, that the touch paper was properly lit.
An anonymous email circulated by supporters of Mrs Clinton, Mr Obama’s main rival for the party’s nomination, thrust a new allegation into the national spotlight — that he had not been born in Hawaii.
“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy,” it said. “She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth.”

This has never been disproven by any Democrat, fact-checker, or other source.

In fact, a Hillary supporter DID start the rumor.

Democrat have to use subtle changes in what a Republican said, and quietly cut out the "And her campaign" part, to furiously scream and call him a "liar". But in fact, the Dems themselves are the ones lying about what he said.

Keep this in mind before you assume the Democrats are telling the truth. (Good advice for anything a Democrat says, at any time. You'd be surprised how often it turns out they themselves are the ones not telling the truth.)

So the 'birther movement' is now dead, or what?

Except for Hillary's lies through her campaign and the fact the Dem's accused Trump
of starting it, Obama's birthplace is a moot point now.

Unless someone uncovers solid evidence to prove he was not born in Hawaii,
then everything he has done would be negated by law for being ineligible to begin with.

I'm certainly no Hillary or Obama apologist, but aren't "supporters" a wider group and not the same thing as "her campaign"? The latter implies people employed by her or at least being used to run a campaign for her. The former can be any Hillary supporter.

This has been debunked numerous times by Political Fact Checker and Journalists. All evidence points to this whole birtherism thing was started by a Clinton supporter she never met or had any connection to who seems to be a psycho as the morons who believe him.

'Obama Was Born in the United States, Period'

Donald Trump attempted Friday morning to put to rest the long-running controversy over whether Barack Obama was born in the U.S., declaring that "Obama was born in the United States, period."

His statement statement capped off a rally at his new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., where he gathered numerous Medal of Honor recipients in front of a military audience.

Before he made the announcement and ended the rally, though, veterans lined up and one-by-one extolled Trump attributes as a leader they want in office.

And of course they will continue to point at Trump, while they started the whole thing. And liberals out there are believing this crap, and many even believing that the Clinton camp never was involved. Idiots.

Something tells me that Hillary won't be replying to the twitter question!

Washington Bureau Chief: Clinton Surrogate Pitched Me ‘Birther’ Story In 2008

Hillary Clinton surrogate Sid Blumenthal personally pitched a reporter on the Obama “birther” story when she was campaigning for president in 2008, former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher said Thursday.

The Clinton campaign and the media rushed to refute Donald Trump’s claim Clinton started the birther movement Friday, after Trump said publicly for the first time he believes President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. But McClatchy refuted that on Twitter Friday, tweeting directly at Clinton to ask whether she remembers Blumenthal pitching the story back in 2008.

“President Obama’s successor cannot and will not be the man who led the racist birther movement,” Clinton tweeted Friday. “Period.”

McClatchy replied: “@HillaryClinton So why did your man #sidblumenthal spread the #obama birther rumor to me in 2008, asking us to investigate? Remember?”

Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008 until the Iowa caucuses, admitted on Friday that a Clinton campaign staffer had, in fact, circulated the Birther conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and therefore potentially ineligible to serve in the presidency.

Doyle made the admission on Twitter, as she responded to former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. Fleischer said that Clinton’s staff had spread the rumor. Doyle said that was a “lie” — but admitted, in the same tweet, that she had fired the “rogue” staffer who had used email to spread the Birther conspiracy theory.

The Clinton Foundation IS NOT WHAT THE CLINTON'S SAY IT IS!

http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/16/just-5-7-percent-of-clinton-foundation-budget-actually-went-to-charity/

So, the more Hillary can drag out the BIRTHER MOVEMENT, blaming Trump. The less the MSM will dare to EXPOSE where all of the MILLIONS for charity....really is going.
