“Jake, that’s just not true”. In fact, Solis Doyle told CNN on Friday no one from the Clinton campaign, including Hillary herself, started the birther campaign against Obama and that an Iowa volunteer coordinator who had forwarded a conspiracy email had been immediately fired.
Clinton’s campaign says people have signed up for more than 55,000 volunteer shifts across the nation this weekend.
Lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008.
Two days after GOP nominee Donald Trump finally conceded that President Obama was born in the United States, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway blamed the entire “birther” theory on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign.
But the Clinton campaign had a quick reaction.
What makes Raddatz’s twisting of words and facts even more disturbing, is that she will be co-moderating the October 9 Presidential Debate with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Speaking at a rally in North Carolina, the Republican nominee erroneously said his opponent wants to “abolish, essentially, the Second Amendment”.
Trump, who has the endorsement of the National Rifle Association, eventually took to Twitter to say the Secret Service had not contacted him about the remarks. It started with an interview with the Washington Post in which Trump refused to acknowledge that Barack Obama was born in the United States. All of the demands for the Barack Obama birth certificate made by Trump and the Tea Party – as well as their refusal to accept the legitimacy of said birth certificate when it was presented – are closely related to an undercurrent of racism running through the whole argument.

But with roughly seven weeks until Election Day, Trump’s scattershot approach to the state also puts his White House prospects in jeopardy.
“Why did it take him so long to put it to an end?”
PENCE: Throughout this campaign, he hasn’t been talking about it. Last month, 53 per cent thought Clinton would be the next president.
Clinton’s campaign and the outside groups helping her spent more than $161 million on television and radio advertising between mid-June and this past week, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker, with a huge portion of their spots aimed at hammering Trump.
Trump’s remarks came just hours after the real estate magnate was forced to reverse his long-held position that President Barack Obama was not born in the USA, the BBC reported.
Following a short statement that didn’t address the birther issue, Trump stepped aside for a succession of Medal of Honor recipients to approach the microphone and endorse him. Was he wrong to do this?

“All of the things that Oklahoma voters saw in Ted Cruz, they don’t see at all in Trump”, she said. That’s going forward, that’s not just the past.
