Funny because she said the campaign started the birther movement.
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.
Continue reading. The staffer that forwarded the email was fired and Clinton or her campaign manager reached out to apologize to Obama/his campaign, an apology that was accepted.

Blitzer: Someone supporting Hillary Clinton was trying to promote this so-called Birther issue? What happened? Doyle: So we — absolutely, the campaign nor Hillary did not start the Birther movement, period, end of story there. There was a volunteer coordinator, I believe, in late 2007, I believe, in December, one of our volunteer coordinators in one of the counties in Iowa — I don’t recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an email that promoted the conspiracy. Blitzer: The Birther conspiracy? Doyle: Yeah, Hillary made the decision immediately to let that person go. We let that person go. And it was so, beyond the pale, Wolf, and so not worthy of the kind of campaign that certainly Hillary wanted to run.
Doyle went on to relate how she personally called Obama campaign manager David Plouffe to apologize, and he accepted. Blitzer then asked her about the Mark Penn memorandum, in which the campaign’s strategist proposed exploiting Obama’s “lack of American roots.” Doyle asserted, and Blitzer agreed, that the memo had nothing to do with Birtherism.
His mom was a US citizen, he could have been born in Timbuktu and would still be a citizen. They probably didn't want to make this argument because then THEY would say - so he was born in Kenya - blah blah blah.
Something else that I was reminded of by something I read, is that, Obama wrote a book once upon a time and somewhere in the book, ok, it was in the bio, that it claimed he was born in Kenya. And now anyone who repeats it is somehow a racist or something? What crap.

Somewhere on the inside of a book flap Obama say's he was born in Kenya and nobody but you caught it? And you never said anything about it? You never called Joe Arpaio? You never collected the huge reward Trump was offering? Not one of the millions upon millions of birthers caught it but you?
Today, Trump made a statement which reminded us all that it was Hillary Clinton who started the birther movement back in 2008. Liberals try to deny this, but the facts are clear.
In 2008, the Clinton campaign circulated the picture below showing Obama in traditional African garb. They sent this picture out to make Obama appear non-American and like he was born in Africa.
I don't know if Hillary started it, but she sure participated in it.
No, she did not. Obviously you did not follow the birther insanity online or you would know that she very wisely avoided it like the plague.
