Read your article - it confirms that "the Hillary campaign" was not behind this.
Fact is it has been Trump who has been running with birtherism for the past 8 years - not Hillary.
Trumpsters are trying to rewrite history and change the narrative.
Fact it - it's TRUMP who has been peddling birtherism for the past 8 years. NOT Hillary. Really no one else but the Trumpsters and far, far right.

The article cites several sources that claim Hillary's camp started the movement, a 4 page investigation published in Politico, reported in The Atlantic that a strategy memo from a long time Clinton advisor advocating Clinton target Obama's lack of American roots.
Obama made the claims in his bio. He owns the birther movement to a point. The reality is you don't have to be born on US soil to be a citizen. His mother was a citizen therefore Obama is a citizen. The whole birther movement was a lame attack on Obama. It's sad but Obama's record was and is bad enough to attack him on just the facts. There was never a need to invent stupid crap.
Didn't Obama claim that Hillary and Bill were racist in '08? Isn't that what it boils down to? A few options...either Hillary was racist or dems will use the race card when it can help them win. Obama used it on Hillary and now Hillary is using it on Trump.

We are living in a fact free world. Imagine the precedent it'll set if nutty Donny wins in Nov. Donny will soil the White House and it'll never be what it was pre-Donny.
But Hillary wasn't the first one. The first one was...
....Barack Obama.
Yes. His literary agent used his bio to get his first book deal.
the bio was from an industry brochure promoting the literary agency. it was written by mariam goderich who has admitted the mistake.
Quote:
So, if there is confusion, who started it?
the bio was discovered by brietbart in may 2012, long after the origins of birtherism.
