You can try and claim Hillary didn't know, but that doesn't fly either.
Hillary is responsible for her own campaign and the people who advise her.
Misty has certainly made that clear when it comes to Trump's campaign. Hillary is as guilty as if she had done it herself.
I posted about this in your thread about Blumenthal, so I'm just going to copy and paste some of my reply here.
I also posted an article in that thread about the tactics that Blumenthal used and the things that he said about Obama in 2008, and there was no mention of him saying anything about Obama's birthplace.

Here is some of what I posted in your thread:
This tactic being used by you right wing flying monkeys of 'she started it' is the same tactic used by little children who get caught doing something bad.

Bottom line is that no matter who started it, The Great Orange Hope is the only one who clung to it and promoted it for over five years.

He kept on pushing it even after President Obama released his long form BC, and even after Orly Taitz The Birther Queen gave up on it.

And don't forget, it's not just the Birther stuff.

It's the fact that the Big Orange Ball Of Slime was also attacking Obama's academic achievements, by asking him to release his college transcripts, implying that he was not smart enough to get into Columbia or Harvard University, and that he only got into those schools because he was black.

I guess you have no concept of how insulting it is to African-Americans that this Bloviating Orange Flesh Bag was demanding that the first African-American president show his papers.

They have not forgotten this and they will never forget it, and that is why no matter what type of phony outreach he does to the A-A community, he will NEVER win their vote.
So if you want to give Trump a pass on promoting a racist conspiracy for over 5 years, that's on you.
If you can vote for a filthy racist with a clear conscience, that says a lot about you, and none of it good.
