Addressing a crowd in Reno this afternoon, Hillary Clinton focused her energy on dismantling Trump. And it’s hard to blame her. After all, Trump’s willingly provided her with seemingly endless fuel for her fire.
But there was one particular line of attack that rang hollow:
Clinton: Donald Trump “promoted the racist lie that President Obama is not really an American citizen." https://t.co/tmVEEzjClO

Clinton on Trump: "He promoted the racist lie that President Obama is not really an American citizen"

Trump first gained political prominence promoting the racist lie that President Obama isn’t really an American. https://t.co/WPM1I9PPN3

And who gave him the ammo to kick off his birther career?
Hillary on the birther issue. Who came up with that in the first place?
