The original reporter behind the 'birther' story confirms that Sidney Blumenthal started the rumors on behalf of Hillary Clinton
Washington Bureau Chief: Clinton Surrogate Pitched Me Birther Story in 2008
Hillary Clinton surrogate Sid Blumenthal personally pitched a reporter on the Obama “birther” story when she was campaigning for president in 2008, former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher said Thursday.
The Clinton campaign and the media rushed to refute Donald Trump’s claim Clinton started the birther movement Friday, after Trump said publicly for the first time he believes President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. But McClatchy refuted that on Twitter Friday, tweeting directly at Clinton to ask whether she remembers Blumenthal pitching the story back in 2008.
“President Obama’s successor cannot and will not be the man who led the racist birther movement,” Clinton tweeted Friday. “Period.”
McClatchy replied: [email protected] So why did your man #sidblumenthal spread the #obama birther rumor to me in 2008, asking us to investigate? Remember?”

#CNN says #Hillary team in 2008 never raised #birther issue. #SidBlumenthal, long-time #HRC buddy, told me in person #Obama born in #kenya
