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.
Doyle appeared about an hour later on CNN with Wolf Blitzer to address the issue once again. She denied that Hillary Clinton had started the Birther theory — then admitted that someone in the Clinton campaign had, in fact, been involved. Here is part their exchange:
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.

Hell, obummer CLAIMED he was foreign born until he decided to run for president!
Yeah they dismissed the “birther” rumor as fast as Phillip Berg went to Federal Court in Philly to force Obama to open his records. Barky probably had something lethal on HRC so she dropped it. Then the VRWC picked it up and the MSM was easily able to blunt it.
INteresting wouldn’t be something if Mr.Tingles himself was the original instigator. I mean he was a slobbery fan of obama.
Philip Berg was the deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and a Democrat.
I wonder if the compost is going to get some Pinocchio noses.
A journalist is testifying via Twitter that Hillary’s close surrogate Sid Blumenthal peddled the “birther” issue to him during the 2008 campaign, asserted that Obama was born in Kenya, and urged him to investigate.
The Clintonistas are not getting away with this one!!
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the imbeciles in the Congressional Black Caucus to condemn SHRILLARY!
They are so militant and stupid it’s frightening, basically calling for Trump to be held “accountable “ for “disrespecting “ Chairman Hussein.
They are basically calling for his assassination, right on the steps of Congress.
Very dangerous game these Marxist animals are playing.
I see the story now, hilarious!
I mean proof that Hillary started it.
ok, NEXT week will be Shrillarity’s worst week.....
Hope we can keep saying that every week through the election!!

"JOHN GIBSON, HOST: The gloves are off: Hillary Clinton is reported to be already digging up the dirt on Barack Obama.The New York senator has reportedly outed Obama's madrassa past. That's right, the Clinton team is reported to have pulled out all the stops to reveal something Obama would rather you didn't know: that he was educated in a Muslim madrassa.
But, but Sheppard Smith says Trump is wrong about Birther Hillary. His face was red and he was whining, so I know Sheppard is telling the truth!
Wow!
“Shazaam! WaPo told us that Trump was lying. Imagine that.”
The paid Communist trolls on Facebook assured us that the fact checkers had their facts checked double and Trump was lying. Between the trolls and the scum MSM, the desperation is at a fever pitch!!! ;)
Those “fact” checkers are every bit as scummy as the MSM!!!!
