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.

How rich...considering she’s already paid off the refs...wants to make sure the payoff sticks.
She was a legitimate threat 8 years ago but now she’s just a sad tired caricature of herself. It’s embarrassing. And even more terrifying to think of that caricature running the country. That screaming harridan beeznatch.
Are we sure the frog in her throat is not some alien creature trying to break free?
"Shut up!" she explained...
“Do you understand????? Everything you do?????”
Exaaactly. I was thinking of that exact line but couldn’t quite remember it - I can never remember the verb - but they went well together.
Are you kidding me? She put her saggy old butt into the ring. She’s fair game! She’s just getting out-Alynskied!!
They won’t have any problem bringing the three media networks in line. Check out the incestuous relationships with their news chiefs and the White House/Clinton Campaign.
Nielson died.
He should have worn a face mask.
There are only 8 media companies in the whole country. They need antitrust action. They need to be broken up. Imagine if Trump came out one day and said he planned to instruct his AG to pursue antitrust litigation against the big media companies. Oh, the hugh manatee.

Of current interest at the 6:15 point is a description of certain hand characteristics that are typical of both the disease and steps to calm hand tremors. One such is "pill rolling" that is depicted in the ear piece photo where she rubs together her thumb and index finger. I watched her closely during the lauer interview and she used the tremor controlling technique constantly
Morale must be bad at the Federal Bureau of Fidelity Bravery and Integrity. Comey wrote a stern memo to the troops denying that he was political hack & `rat sellout.
And obviously whatever health problem she has is serious enough to knock her out of the Presidential race, thus SECRECY! We know she’s a liar, a cheat, a thief, possibly a murderess or really lucky that so many of her enemies end up murdered or “suicided”. She was incompetent as Secretary of State and was directly responsible for the death of 3 good men in Benghazi, and I believe a traitor to boot selling of American assets (uranium fr’instance) to countries who want to destroy us. Yet she still runs for President. I doubt even her disclosing she’s dying of something incurable would stop her...coz’, “at this point, what difference does it make?”

I can’t even bear to speak her name. To me, she will always be “Rotten Cankles.”
“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.”
I speculate that the power of Satan has become so strong within her that it’s actually rotting her body from the inside out.
Bwwaaa!
Pushback, lol
