Fact Check – Obama Birther Movement Started by a Democrat Lawyer
by NetAdvisor.org® Staff
WASHINGTON DC. Hillary Clinton attempted to bring up an eight year old birther questions as Obama’s term is set to expire. Clinton blamed Trump for the birther movement.
According to factcheck.org: “…it’s true that some of her ardent (Clinton) supporters pushed the theory, there is no evidence that Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with it.”
Trump raised question as many people of BOTH political parties did in 2008 (and some since).
At this point the issue is nothing more than a political distraction by the Clinton camp to focus on anything but Hillary Clinton’s health questions, email scandal, or proposed economic policies.
Trump, and again others did raise the birther issue too in 2015. Trump conceded to bury the issue by stating today that, “President Barack Obama was born in the United States.”
The REAL Original Birther
Many seem to have forgotten where the original birther issue came from.
