An email released by Wikileaks reveals that Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign pushed the “Muslim Obama” narrative as a negative talking point.
“Obama (owe-BAHM-uh)’s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world’s most populous Islamic country,” reads an email exchange between John Podesta, Paul Begala, and Hillary pollster GQRR in January 2008.
The full email, which can be seen here, reads:
Paul et al- We’ve reworked the Obama message into the survey, as requested. But on the list of negative facts we need to cut ONE since we separated out gay adoption and his use of cocaine. Please send your suggestions. Thanks!
