NBC faces criticism for Clinton cough story

NBC News is facing harsh criticism from Hillary Clinton's campaign and her supporters for publishing an article on a coughing fit the Democratic presidential nominee experienced on Monday in Cleveland.

The five-paragraph story, "Hillary Clinton Fights Back Coughing Attack," noted that Clinton quickly turned the coughing issue into a dig at her GOP rival, Donald Trump.

Reporter Andrew Rafferty wrote:

"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."

The frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.

Clinton traveling press secretary, Nick Merrill, slammed the report on Twitter, writing to Rafferty, “get a life.”

As far back as I can remember:

1. One of the major presidential candidates has been seen as clearly behind in the polls

2. When this happened, every time that candidate went on a whistle stop tour and made three or four appearances a day for a week or two before the election

3. In all those case the candidate had a very hoarse voice by the end of the tour

4. In no cases did that candidate ever cough as much as Hillary.

There is something wrong with Hillary. And yes, I know, it's not just her health.

Heck, little marco was pilloried days on end in the media just for taking a single sip of water.

But then, he’s a Republican.

Her health is a major story.

Another major story is the Clinton's constant bullying, intimidating, and shutting down of anyone/anything that disagrees with her.

Hillary Clinton suffers from advanced Parkinson’s disease. She is unfit to hold any office and is unable to fulfill the duties of President of the United States.

The story is the Clinton campaign trying to shut down freedom of the press.

In 1996, Matt Lauer talked about Bob Dole blinking too much.
