During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Reince Priebus said: “Her campaign and her supporters in her campaign were the ones that borne out the birther movement.”
Our ruling
Priebus said Clinton’s campaign and her supporters started the birther movement. Half of this claim is true.
It has been reported by several news outlets that Clinton supporters sent emails accusing Obama of being born outside the United States. However, there is no evidence that Clinton or her official campaign had anything to do with it.
On balance, we rate Priebus’s claim Half True.
