Hillary Clintons 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 Clintons throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive shes 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 Clintons campaign intends to sharply counterattack news organizations that take questions about her health seriously.
Theyre trying to work the refs a little bit as they try to push back on the mainstream medias willingness to pick up on some of this stuff thats usually left to the fringes, Clinton surrogate Jim Manley explained.
The Drudge Report and other conservative media sites have largely driven the coverage of Clintons 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 Democrats camp has seen the coverage bleeding to the mainstream media in recent weeks.
After Trump insinuated recently that Clinton wasnt healthy, the campaign responded forcefully, ripping Trump allies for concocting fake documents from Clintons doctor.

[Inside joke] That’s Hanley!

Clinton was gagging for five minutes on stage.

The earpiece facilitates instructions from the Muslim Brotherhood. She needs to continue to push their false narratives.
Ohhh! Hillary “warned” us not to talk about it! LOL Stupid Hillary.
She is used to the press snapping to attention and taking her marching orders.
I suspect though if that were happening here we would not be reading about this in The Hill.
This whole thing really is making me think of the Star Trek TOS episode “Patterns of Force”, with Hillary resembling John Gill to a great extent.
Full blown panic now. If I’m a lower level Clinton staffer I might consider bailing out before too long. You don’t want to be around her on the night of November 8 when the country hands her a stinging defeat.
CAN WE JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT HILLARY-STRIGOI'S HEALTH NOW?

ROFLMAO....yeah right witch...what are you going to do about it? Kill them off like you do with everyone else???
...and another one bites the dust...
“Excellent!”
People can see she’s obviously sick. Covering it up/not talking about it only allows people to fill in that gap with their own speculation about what is wrong with her.
FABULOUS!!....
Snicker.
STOP TALKING ABOUT HILLARY'S HEALTH-- NOW!!
YOU PATHETIC PEASANTS
Alt-Right, have at it; she's all yours! P.S. Don't forget to deal with CHEATING Hildabeast's earwig earpiece!
