Even as Donald Trump finally acknowledges that President Obama was born in the U.S., he shifts the blame for the claim that he has long championed, and which has been consistently debunked, to
Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON
Two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign
reportedly shared the claim that then-rival Barack Obama was not born in
the United States and thus was not eligible to be president.
One was a volunteer in Iowa, who was fired, Clinton’s former campaign manager said Friday.
The other was Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, according to a former McClatchy Washington Bureau chief.
The issue arose Friday as Donald Trump finally acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S. Trump, a leading champion of the debunked “birther” conspiracy theory for years, attempted to blame Clinton for starting it when she ran against Obama in 2008 for the Democratic presidential nomination.
