The only response Republicans should give to the Obama/Muslim question is to quote Hillary Clinton verbatim: https://t.co/Stpm42N1oS

I know firsthand, and can testify under oath, that Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign was hot and heavy on the issue of Barack Obama’s muslim heritage. How do I know? Because I was a conduit for information from Sidney Blumenthal, a Hillary Clinton confidant. I was not an official part of the campaign. I was not on the staff. But I was a supporter and I have no regrets for trying to help Hillary defeat Barack Obama. I did not knowingly make up or manufacture anything about Barack Obama. Just tried to get the facts out.
The only real controversy that still dogs me from that period is the “Whitey Tape.” That episode came courtesy of Media Matters’ David Brock. It was fed to me by Sid....
I am really bothered now by Hillary’s faux outrage over the comments of Ben Carson, who would not back a Muslim advocate of Sharia law for President (who the hell would), and Donald Trump, scorned for not correcting a crazy questioner at a public gathering who insisted Obama is a muslim (he is not). She absolutely knew that several of us, with Sid Blumenthal in the lead, were trying to tell folks about the real Barack Obama. Here we are 8 years later and I can say, with a clear conscience, I told you so.
One more thing, I am sad to see Hillary fail to live up to her potential. She has lied about her email server and, more importantly for me, failed to do her job as Secretary of State to protect U.S. personnel in Benghazi, Libya and then worked frantically to cover up that failure. That one incident alone destroyed any confidence I once held that Hillary could be trusted with the job of President.
