Buzz about a 'bud': Clinton camp denies claims she wore earpiece at forum
Fox News ^ | Sept. 8, 2016

Posted on 09/08/2016 9:17:19 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

While Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each generated headlines about comments made Wednesday night at a candidates’ forum, the buzz Thursday morning was more about a report claiming Clinton relied on a “micro” earbud as she fielded questions about national security — a claim her campaign vigorously denied.

The website True Pundit quoted unnamed New York police sources saying Clinton was wearing an “inductive earpiece” during the NBC forum hosted by Matt Lauer. The website described the unit as the kind of tech used by stage actors in need of prompting to recite forgotten lines.

Two senior campaign aides, though, told Fox News the report is absolutely not true.

The frenzied Internet speculation was a throwback to accusations George W. Bush faced after debates in the 2004 campaign that he was wearing a device that may or may not have been used to feed him answers – after photos appeared to show a bulge under the back of his suit jacket.

Bush officials rejected the speculation at the time, and Clinton officials now are doing the same.

In both cases, the candidates had to contend with suspicious-looking photographs. True Pundit published a zoomed-in image of Clinton’s left ear showing a shiny reflection purported to be a stealth communications device.

“What appears to be a “bud” is just a tumor.”

As in, "I got TWO MORE in the other ear!".............

It looks like an allergy medicine administration device.

It certainly does fuel the perception of her as being propped up, this being yet another one.

Hillary, when youre lifes a mess,
When youre feeling blue, always in distress,
I know what can wash that sad away.
All you have to do is;

Put a banana in youre ear!
(A banana in my ear?)
Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear.
Its true (says who?) So true.
Once its in your gloom will disappear.
The bad in the world is hard to hear,
When in your ear a banana cheers,
So go and put a banana in your ear!

Put a banana in your ear!
(Id rather keep my ear clear.)
You will never be happy if you live your life in fear.
Its true (says you.) so true,
When its in the skies are bright and clear.
Oh every day of every year,
The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere,
So go and put a banana in your ear!

It seems like the NYPD officers allegedly SAW the earpiece device, and first called attention to it.

I do not think it was just a weird lighting thing.

Trump should show up with an obvious gag earpiece. Tell the audience Hillary agreed to let him use her old hearing aid.

Could be to control the coughing, but I’ve never heard of one in the ear. There are medication implants for the sinuses for related conditions.

It’s only skin shine. There is nothing in her ear. The story was pumped by a website registered in March.

Having now seen video of the “earpiece” and not just the still photos it appears the “earpiece” is just some weird lighting thing. Nothing to see here.

What the hell are you talking about? That's a flat out lie. Go tell Stephanopolous your crap didn't stick.

Ear bud ?
Freznel lense glasses ?
Injector aid from the Secret Service agent ?
Additional steps assist to enter the Secret Service Van ?
Needed assistance helpers to walk up 10 steps ?
Possible side-effects from a concussion ?
You have to be kidding me .. !

Are we supposed to be electing a President,
or
electing a MEDICAL CYBORG ?

That would be a hoot, but soooo un-presidential.

They continued: “What appears to be a “bud” is just a tumor.”

Which begs the question: IF it is a TUMOR, of some sort, WHY HASN'T BEEN TAKEN OUT OR TREATED?.................She has the BEST healthcare in the world and can't get a Skin tumor removed? I had a cyst on my ear years ago, and it only took a few minutes in the doctor's office to remove it....................

Youre a freaking idiot. It is clear she has a ear piece in. The NYPD who was doing security for the event (ER GO would be very close to her and are trained observers) saw this and reported on this. Nice try whack job.

STOLEN VALOR in Bosnia. But islamidemocommucrats don’t care anything about that.

To them, the more she can steal, the better.
