Clinton Coughing Fit at Benghazi Hearing
Weekly Standard ^ | Oct 22, 2015 | BY DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 10/22/2015 7:07:31 PM PDT by Jet Jaguar

Hillary Clinton stumbled at the Benghazi hearing today on Capitol Hill. As the hearing moved well past its tenth hour, Clinton had a serious coughing fit that prevented her momentarily from being able to speak.

Watch here: (Video at link)

The committee offered to break for Clinton to clear her throat. But instead the Democratic presidential candidate popped a cough drop in and kept on going.

Staged, staged, staged. The Dums were ready to GO (to their cocktail parties)....and the hearing was going on too long.

But instead the Democratic presidential candidate popped a cough drop in...

Cough drop!? She probably took drops earlier to induce coughing. Note how readily, almost "planned" if you will, Cummings started to talk about getting her water.

Cummings started to talk about getting her water.

And he meant via a glass... he is well aware getting any large amount of water on her might induce melting.

I’ll be Cummings had to listen for a keyword.
