Members of the press finally got a chance to ask Hillary Clinton questions directly but were cut short by the Democratic presidential nominee’s coughing fit.
After Clinton’s cough-filled speech in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, she addressed questions from journalists aboard the campaign plane for about 30 minutes. She covered topics from her emails, the FBI summary report on her interview, classified information and Russia before succumbing to another coughing spell.
Clinton made statements about her new book & Russia/hacking, and then took 7 questions from reporters before excusing herself bc of a cough.

Of course, the coughing interruption opened the door for questions about her health and the conspiracy theories surrounding it.

All the journalists on that plane earlier should apologize for aggravating Hillary’s press allergy. There’s a REASON she keeps her distance!

Hillary had ANOTHER coughing fit on the plane with journalists. Conveniently meant she didn’t have to take many questions. #HackingHillary

And speaking of journalists, Twitchy had this to say about the so-called racial diversity of the on-board press:
“Let’s hope the pilot has some industrial-grade sunglasses; get a load of the impressive racial diversity of the reporters on board.”
This is from Hillary’s plane, and those aren’t reporters, they’re fans. pic.twitter.com/FPHuLGEzDZ

One has to wonder about the press who travel with a candidate and still purport to advance those hard-hitting questions.
It tells you something–and nothing good–that becomes news when reporters travel on the same plane as the presidential candidates.

@CounterMoonbat They should have skipped the formality and put them all in crates in the luggage compartment.

@danbalz That reporters are focused on the wrong thing and more like a high school clic than anything else?
