Secret Service Banned Flash Photography At Debate

For Fears It Would Trigger Hillary’s Seizure Disorder

PIX 11 news anchor Kirstin Cole announced Monday that the Secret Service banned flash photography from Sunday night’s presidential debate hall at Washington University in St. Louis over fears it could “inspire Hillary’s seizure disorder.”

“For those of you who watched to the bitter, bitter end of this, did you catch this?” Cole posed to the audience. “The comeback of the cardboard camera. Holy 80s drive me to the photo map, Batman.”

“We thought it was a Secret Service thing, banning the cell phones.”

Later in the segment, Cole caught a flash in the face as the rest of the PIX 11 team snapped picitures with disposable cameras.

“Whoa, God. This is why it was banned apparently,” Cole stated. “The Secret Service did not trust people to disable the flashes on they’re cameras, and they were afraid it would sort of inspire Hillary’s seizure disorder.”

She can’t pass the physical.

There’s no shame in dropping out for that.

Should we form the Trump Flash Brigade?

The flash on the disposable camera is okay, but the other flashes aren’t?

That doesn’t make too much sense.

Screw ‘em. If flash is needed for the job, do it. But being this is the MSM wearing permanent kneepads for the DEMs, little chance they would do it.

I want to believe this. In fact, I do believe it. I think Hillary has a neurological disorder. But we need better sourcing. Cole sounds like she’s talking about what she has heard through the grapevine.

The disposable cameras used on the newscast had flashes.

But, the one that I could see on stage at the debate did not.

Even Ken Bone had a disposable non-flash camera. But I think his bright red woman’s sweater had to have a somewhat disorienting effect on the Witch of the Ozarks.

Was there a reason why everything on the set was blue except for Trump’s tie and Bill’s nose?

I agree. Too much clickbait out there. I want her ideas defeated. Anything short of that and we are lost - either now or at some point in the future because they will find another progressive elitist and people will buy it.

It’s a new politicized Secret Service just like we saw when she was getting into the van, not only were they protecting her but they were blocking the view.

and that’s because they are more than just the Secret Service now.

just like we have a new politicize FBI.

just like we have a new politicized IRS.

just like we have a new politicized NFL.

politics is taking over everything and if in one month we don’t get it right, what we see now is just the beginning.

We should all.attend Hillary debates with flash cameras. Watch the Witch go into a seizure and end up in a coma.

It was suggested by someone here 2 weeks ago that everyone on the front row should set their cameras to rapid fire flash. I guess the SS didn't like that suggestion.☺

That may be the case. I did a quick search, and only Gateway Pundit, Daily Caller, and this thread are appearing on Google.

If someone actually said it was to prevent seizures, it was the best kept secret in the world. And, it would be unusual for the Secret Service to issue this edict.

It is probably more likely that flash photos were banned during the debate, to avoid interference with the TV broadcast image.
