Hillary Clinton Campaigns in New Hampshire, Corrals Press With Rope
LatestHillary Clinton spent her Fourth of July weekend campaigning in New Hampshire, and the press trailing her spent it being corralled and restricted by sturdy rope.
As Clinton made her way through the town of Gorham on Saturday, mingling with voters, reporters were held strictly at bay. Campaign aides used rope to maintain a wide berth between Clinton and the press, leaving many with a sour impression of her media engagement.
Republicans also pounced on the opportunity to denounce Clinton as elitist and scornful of New Hampshire’s “style of grassroots campaigning.” “The use of a rope line at a New Hampshire parade is a sad joke,” argued New Hampshire Republican State Committee chairwoman Jennifer Horn, “and insults the tradition of our first-in-the-nation primary.”
