Trump says Hillary started the Birther Movement. Not True!

[Lakhota]

FactCheck.org reports that while the issue was raised by diehard Clinton supporters in 2008, there is nothing to link Clinton, her campaign or her staff to the issue.

Was Hillary Clinton the Original ‘Birther’?

It is certainly interesting, and perhaps historically and politically relevant, that “birther” advocacy may have originated with supporters of Hillary Clinton — especially since many view it as an exclusively right-wing movement. But whether those theories were advocated by Clinton and/or her campaign or simply by Clinton “supporters” is an important distinction. Candidates are expected to be held accountable for the actions of their campaigns. Neither Cruz nor Trump, whose campaign did not respond to our request for backup material, provides any compelling evidence that either Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with starting the so-called birther movement.

So, there it is. There is no evidence to support Trump's claim.

Still a loooooong way to go to catch up to all the Hillary topics. There were HUNDREDS of Hillary topics years before she even announced!

It's true, Hillary was the first birther.

Her supporters started it. So it is linked to her.

Vince Foster is willing to confirm that.

How is that a link?

If I support you and I start making up crap about your opponent, how does that mean that you are making up crap about your opponent?

Das macht überhaupt keinen Unterschied. Hillary is soon going to be eating inmate food. In a Federal penitentiary, thank Jebus.

Everyone knows Clinton is a liar.

Uh oh, you just backed him into being a Hilary supporter or supporting Hilary's lies (because shes a liar). Sticky Wicket

Trump says Hillary started the Birther Movement. Not True!

Thank you, Adolph, you for once got one right. The birther movement was started by Obama when he told his publisher he was "born in Kenya." After that, Obama's ho said he was born in Kenya. Hillary was third, at best

 

[Asclepias]

It's true, Hillary was the first birther.

Its only true you are a retard.
