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.

I bet when he gets angry he says his panties are in a wad.
With the history of a trail of dead bodies on the path of Jezebel and Ahab (Hillary & Bill), one wonders exactly what their “warnings” carry with it.
A shame - she was almost pretty back then...
It wasn’t at a debate, it was during his GOP response to one of Obama’s SOTU speeches.

Her “health”??? The criminal creature has none. Bring on the embalming fluid and tana leaves.

So basically their response to the question is “shut up.”
Frog in her throat???

Too bad. I liked him in Friends and King of Queens. And he's a talented writer.
Yep. It’s still early.
I think there is ample evidence that the Washington Post’s omega male “reporter” Chris Cizzilla has been “fixed” all right
:-)
That’s a great job!!
Andrea Mitchell still has the most punchable face even with a mask on! Although the mask does greatly improve her appearance.
I despise that biotch!
Nailed it!
That message -- "Can we just stop talking about Hillary's health now" -- if you are a media reporter, you know exactly what that means, don't you?
GET A LIFE
Where’s Leslie Nielson?
Thank you for the correction.

Now-- anyone else in the media care to write any comments about Hillary's (good) health??
:-)
Can they get out? Or will they run into a misadventure at 4 am while walking the dog?
Oh baby !!!! LMAO!!!!!
