Full title: Campaign staff DROVE 'ordinary' Iowans to Hillary's first campaign stop - including health care 'lobbyist in training' who was an Obama campaign intern and Biden chauffeur
Austin Bird sat for coffee on Tuesday morning in the town of LeClaire, Iowa, chatting with Hillary Clinton as photographers snapped pictures
News reports called him a 'student' and her campaign called it an unscripted event
But Clinton's Iowa political director Troy Price drove Bird and two other people to the coffee house
Bird is a hospital government relations official who interned with Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign The Iowa Democratic Party, which Price ran until a month ago, tasked him to be Joe Biden's driver during an October Senate campaign trip in Davenport
Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.
Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.
Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.
Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.
The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing.
Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport.
'What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,' Bird said Wednesday

The turquoise jewelry is surely to excite the American people.
Well, the face make be fake, but the American people don’t mind at all, thank you, just so HRC is “on their side” against the rich and greedy!
Nothing like drumming up business for the Sunday School when the pastor is driving the bus himself on the Sunday morning route.
Fetch them in, preach to them, and turn them loose to go back and evangelize all the neighbors that were out hiding behind the tree.
Lots of trees in Iowa.
That “electrified” debut was actually an “electrocution”.
All that is left is a foul burnt odor and a big ole dead corpse.
[“Wet Leg” crowd.]
I’m pretty sure you weren’t including dried up old Hillary with that analogy.
$2 billion; her supporters think she is poor like they.
Good thing they locked all the kids in their classes so she could have her strategy session. Imagine if Walker had pulled this stunt?
Pray America is waking
Too funny.
You can’t spell Hillary without using the letters L, I, A, & R
I like how you subtly brought Monica into it ;)
lol
I think I might get a custom bumper sticker made like that!
O’Malley sounds like some character on The Simpsons.
Love it!
they would have to held a gun on me to make me go. And if the ones they drove there are ordinary Iowans, Iowa is in deep, deep shit.
H> = Hollow Hipocrite
Hummmmm? Would anyone but the Secret Service be driving the Vice President around?
I really have to wonder about that report. Maybe they mean escort Biden to some coffee shop, but the SS is going to have security from top to bottom including driving him to and from.
The face of evil.
Nice.
They’ve closed most of the ballparks with artificial turf. I guess they had to do something with it.
More lies from criminal clinton and her criminal supporters. Liars lie...that is what they do.
