Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton's campaign manager in 2008 until the Iowa caucuses, admitted on Friday that a Clinton campaign staffer had, in fact, circulated the Birther conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and therefore potentially ineligible to serve in the presidency.
Doyle made the admission on Twitter, as she responded to former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. Fleischer said that Clinton's staff had spread the rumor. Doyle said that was a "lie" — but admitted, in the same tweet, that she had fired the "rogue" staffer who had used email to spread the Birther conspiracy theory.

No, @AriFleischer, it is not. The one rogue staffer who sent an email was fired pretty damn quick.
This is a lie. https://twitter.com/arifleischer/status/776805390390624256 …
