The Hillary campaign showed their disdain and disrespect for the fawning boot-licking media today by corralling them today behind a rope-line.
From the Daily Mail:
As Hillary Clinton walked freely down a New Hampshire road, she shook hands and greeted residents with a smile.
But the members of the press accompanying her were a bit more restricted in their movements – as they were guided through the streets with a rope.
The former Secretary of State’s campaign staff kept reporters, cameramen and photographers at arm’s length as she joined a July 4 parade in Gorham – fueling speculation she is trying to control the media.
She joined the procession after spending the morning at a private residence in nearby Glen.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted: ‘Clinton advance aides create a rope line for the press, moving with the candidate.
She added: Spectacle of Clinton as candidate – press being pulled along with a rope, Benghazi protester screams “carpetbagger”.’
Josh Jordan also wrote: ‘239 years ago America declared independence. Today Hillary celebrates that by roping off the press like wild animals.’
The Twitters had a good time with it:
"Look Hillary, I might just be a kid, but even I know you shouldn't use ropes to wrangle the press like cattle." https://t.co/qFpFqDFf08

How little must Hillary's team think of the people covering her campaign to literally rope them off at the waist? pic.twitter.com/mN7oK5PcCn

Hillary was just reusing the same rope from her last campaign that she hung herself with.

If you think Hillary's rope lines are fun, wait until you see Bernie's soviet era gulags

The reporters covering Hillary will accept a rope line, next week they'll be cool with nose rings.
