Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said the idea that she started the birther movement, which questions the validity of President Barack Obama’s American birth certificate, is “so ludicrous.”
After CNN’s Don Lemon asked Clinton about claims she started the movement in a phone interview, Clinton said any rumors about Obama’s American citizenship are “totally untrue.”
“This is such a bad example of what’s wrong with instantaneous reactions and Americans getting all worked up and people feeding prejudice and paranoia, like Donald Trump,” Clinton said.
Clinton ;brushed off the fact that some people feel she originated the rumor that Obama was born outside of the U.S., saying she’s been “blamed for nearly everything.”
Listen to the exchange between Lemon and Clinton above.
