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.

The truth cannot be denied any longer. Hillary Clinton started the birther movement.

Obama's campaign clearly recognized this in 2008.

Quote:
"On the very day that Sen. Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election," Plouffe said.

"It's exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," he added.
She was divisive then. She is divisive now. Low brow smear campaigns is all Hillary Clinton knows.

I don't know if Hillary started it, but she sure participated in it.

That does not mean anything Trump should apologize for keeping the Birther crap going as long as he did

And now she's lying about it and has the media lying for her, too. They seem to have gone from desperation mode into panic mode into bat **** crazy mode.

Not Hillary Clinton? Hillary Clinton the saint? LOL... She always hides behind some excuse. She has minions working for her to take any blame. Up until now, it has worked. She has never faced someone like Donald Trump.

Obama and Hillary should apologize to the American people for constantly lying the past 10 years.

The birther thing was kept alive by many, many more people than Trump. I wasn't even aware that Trump had really said much about it. For as long as Obama was POTUS, this was going to be in play. Obama never really convinced people and no birth certificate on hand, sorry, but as someone who went to kindergarten, went to college, went to the military, got married, etc. I had to have birth certificates on hand for myself and my kids. I am glad that Obama is about to slide into the history books out of my sight.

Gosh, did you expect the truth from Hillary? Yeah, you could not possibly have. Hillary doesn't really do her own dirty work, just pays or threatens others to get it done. Hillary is poison fungus.

Strange. Clinton has managed to get all the worlds leaders, all the worlds media outlets and all the politicians except Trump to lie for her. It's the entire world picking on and lying against Trump.

How does she ever do it?

She was divisive then. She is divisive now. Low brow smear campaigns is all Hillary Clinton knows.
Question: even if Clinton or her campaign or her supporters started it, who is it that believed it?

The Clinton campaign wasn't doing anything differently when they released that picture than what Palin did when she talked about Obama's "foreignness" and yet people just ate that up.

What this says to me is that there are a lot of people who must have believed then that Clinton and her "camp" had some credibility if/when they claimed that Obama wasn't born here.
And best of all, Trump believed it too.

So who's the bigger fools - the one(s) that started the rumor or them that believed it?

Trump not only believed it but carried the banner for the birther movement for five-plus years when he could have stopped the speculation at any time if what he says now is to be believed.

It is going to be so much fun watching all of the people who bought Trump's BS about the yuuge investigation back-track now in an attempt to batter Clinton.
"She made us do it, she made us do it!"

Some people will fall for anything.
