Taitz, the dentist and lawyer who led many of her own birther lawsuits, urged her fellow believers to give Trump a pass for abandoning the cause.
“Trump is hands down the best candidate to turn the country around,” she wrote in a blog post Thursday. “My word to my supporters: let Trump win the election. There are only 8 weeks left. Now is not the time to talk about Obama, he is not running for president, Clinton is. Keep the eye on the prize!!!”
In an interview, Taitz said she does believe that Clinton started the birther movement. But when asked why, she pointed to Berg, who she said was chairman of the Clinton’s campaign in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, at the time.
In fact, Berg was chairman of the county Democratic Party — not Clinton’s campaign. When corrected and informed that Berg denied having any contact with Clinton’s campaign, Taitz changed the subject: “It’s not about Clinton and it’s not about Trump. It’s about Obama.”
Asked for more evidence that Clinton started the movement, Taitz replied, again referring to Berg, “This is the evidence that I’ve seen.”
