Hillary Clinton’s campaign is working the refs hard when it comes to reports about her health.
While Clinton responded to a fit of coughing this week with humor, saying she was “allergic” to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, her aides and surrogates played the role of bad cop.
Campaign spokesman Nick Merrill took to task an NBC reporter who wrote about the coughing spell, posting on Twitter that the writer should “get a life.”
The five-paragraph story, by Andrew Rafferty, was titled “Hillary Clinton fights back coughing attack” and reported that the “frog in Clinton’s throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she’s had during her 2016 run.”
Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for President Obama, asked via Twitter if “anyone on NBC, or anywhere else,” was willing to defend the piece.
The pushback signaled that Clinton’s campaign intends to sharply counterattack news organizations that take questions about her health seriously.
“They’re trying to work the refs a little bit as they try to push back on the mainstream media’s willingness to pick up on some of this stuff that’s usually left to the fringes,” Clinton surrogate Jim Manley explained.
The Drudge Report and other conservative media sites have largely driven the coverage of Clinton’s health, following the concussion she suffered in late 2012 and years before she announced her intention to run again for president.
But Manley said the Democrat’s camp has seen the coverage “bleeding to the mainstream media” in recent weeks.
After Trump insinuated recently that Clinton wasn’t healthy, the campaign responded forcefully, ripping Trump allies for concocting fake documents from Clinton’s doctor.

LMAO.
Or what...?
well 6 questions what a joke and they were all softballs
rich
Exactly!!
The released FBI documents revealed she used her poor health as an excuse for her bad behavior. This isn’t “fringe” news.
Her Thigness, Madam Hillary Benghazi's Ministry of Propaganda will recommend action against YOU, up to an including joining her "list".
That's clumsy Clinton code for "Watch your Ass!!"
She threw in a patriotic 9/11 bit, of course, omitting the fact that her HINO could have killed bin Laden a year before the Twin Towers were attacked as bin Laden stood exposed on a mountain in the cross hairs of our military, but Bill didn’t do it. Maybe he was busy with an intern. That failure to act caused the deaths of over 3,000 Americans. She should NEVER reference 9/11 and remind us of one of the worst failures of any president in our history.
ROFL! Somebody needs to post that on Scott Adams’ Twitter feed!

Or “Back on the plantation, ye slaves of mine! Else I shall kick you out of the house and into the cotton fields with the others.”
... the “frog in Clinton’s throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she’s had during her 2016 run.”
She better get used to it. It is not yet time for it to come out of her.
