Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link
Breitbart ^ | 9/16/2016 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 09/16/2016 12:32:07 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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.

I remember an episode of the TV show ER. A doctor was teaching a student that you never, ever admit a mistake in front of a patient. Rather than say Oops, you say “There Now” of something like that.

As he was saying this, he was performing some procedure and as the scene faded to black, he looked down and said “there Now.”

The media is like that only far stupider.

‘Hillary says, Obama is not a Muslim “as far as I know.”

This is as good as, “Obama does not beat his wife as far as I know.”

This is funny, but good grief, Hillary’s campaign and the news media are using garbage like the birther thing to distract from her email and Clinton Foundation shenanigans, and all of criminal acts that date back to her Arkansas days.

Next, Trump should challenge her to concede that Obama is definitely not a Muslim (”as far as she knows”???)

He doesn’t NEED a reason to cancel all of osamabamas executive orders - executive orders are purely the presidents whim and can be canceled by the next president’s whim.

It was the Democrats that started the birther crap. It was ad nauseam on the news in 2008. Knowing there’s video that’s not being played ‘cause the MSM is in the bag for Hillary. Anybody that doesn’t remember wasn’t paying attention.

I don’t recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an email that promoted the conspiracy.

Democrats have the worst memories on the planet.

They can hardly ever remember a darn thing.

A McClatchey guy claims that Sid Blumenthal told him that Obama was born in Kenya.

That's not a rogue staffer on the fringes. That's Hillary's right hand man, and the same guy knee deep in the email scandal.

You are correct again. But it would be nice if he could hit two birds with one stone January 20th...eh?

Two weeks ago: "This was Hillary's worst week."

No, wait, we spoke too soon last week, "This was Hillary's worst week."

Correction: "OK, now THIS was Hillary's worst week."

Apparently this explanation to CNN is also a lie (I know, big shock)... unless the "rogue staffer" was named Sidney Blumenthal.

I don't think we need any more leaks, they are in an extreme chasing-their-tail-spin. It's like they're running blindfolded through a field of cow-pats, and hitting every... single... one... of them.

Best election cycle EVER.
