Hillary Rodham Clinton swore Wednesday she didn’t start the birther movement against Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign.

Clinton, during a radio interview, rejected accusations by Donald Trump that she and aides falsely promoted the idea that Obama wasn’t born in the United States.

“That is so ludicrous,” Clinton said on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show.” “. . . It is totally untrue.”

Factcheck.org found that while birtherism may have been pushed by Clinton supporters, “there is no evidence that Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with it.”

“She was the original birther!” Trump insisted Wednesday in South Carolina. “She was the one that started the whole thing.”
