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.

Shazaam! WaPo told us that Trump was lying. Imagine that.
Scapegoating. CYA. Nice try! *SPIT*
Hillary is TOAST!
I think it was the Clinton supporting TexasDarlin blog and PUMAParty site that pushed it most but everyone assumed they were doing covert work for Hillary Clinton so she could have deniability.
No, no, this can’t be true. The Washington Post told me that all the fact check organizations said it can’t be. Well, at least the ones that they like said it.
lol....this is getting really entertaining.
I wonder if the media jerks and jerkettes will ever realize that the ONLY way out of this conundrum they’ve manufactured is JUST TO DROP IT...TODAY!
I knew 100% when he said that, he had proof to back it up!
Trump is like a prosecutor, who never asks a question he doesn’t already know the answer too.
He set them up with this technique EVERY TIME.
He lets them all run around like chickens with that heads cut off for awhile condemning what he supposedly did. And then WHAM !
In this case he is waiting on all the black race hustlers to rush to the nearest mike and condemn Trump questioning Obama’s birth as racist... THEN Trump will lower the boom with an email or some such showing that sure enough HILLARY was the one who originally circulated the rumor (or someone in her campaign which she was responsible for).
And thus... after having TRAPPED the race hustlers... Now they will be FORCED to attack Hillary!
ROFL
Did search before I posted story, didn’t come up, have requested mine to be deleted.
With Barry and Cankles playing nice with each otherand ganging up on The Donald, I guess she forgot that she hated the junior Senator from Illinois’ guts
Me too. Same.
Also being Trump could have proof of incrimination. Hard to believe he doesn't after making that statement.
Shep Smith’s mascara will be running soon.
More ammunition for my upcoming editorial.
Had they actually followed through with it, they might have won the election.......................
If he knows something and has proof, which I suspect he does, he’ll use it to validate cancelling ALL of 0’s Executive Orders...Day 1, like he said.
I have a feeling some leaked email will show a little more involvement than this.
This is not possible. Every radio news break about has stated that Trump pointing out the Clinton connection has been proven to be false. Who is this guy to cast doubt on the media narrative. He’s just like the guy who filmed Hill’s ‘slight dizzy spell’ on Sunday.
