No it's Hillary's fault.

It's always the same thing. Failure to connect the dots. This was back in the day when you had to play politics. Hillary's camp released that information. They also released images of him dressed as a Muslim. They fired that staffer, too. They also accused him of using sexist codewords. Obama's camp accused her of running a smear campaign (which she did). But, I guess we can pretend that Clinton is as pure as the pure white snow. It's just her supporters who would do such horrible things. 

Obama released his birth certificate in June of 2008, before he was even officially nominated by the DNC. Why would he need to do that if this was just an idea perpetrated by Trump (which didn't start until 2011) or those dirty Republicans? The reason the Obama thing never took traction on the right was because Obama ran against John McCain, who was born in Panama. Otherwise, John McCain would have continued that trend... but not John McCain himself, obviously. Just his followers and the talking heads. John McCain was also as pure as the pure white snow, but I digress.

Here's a Snopes fact check on the allegation. Sure, there's no mention of Hillary, but who was he just running against? Not Trump... I can tell you that much.

Even still, if you want to believe that, due to an absence of physical evidence this had nothing to do with Clinton, aka politics, then at least acknowledge this started with the Democrats. Oh, you know who was a democrat back then? Donald J. Trump. Look at that, we can both be right. Maybe he was the one shouting it at her rallies.
