Brian Fallon, Hillary's national press secretary, seems to have lost his mind. Either that or he's going into Halloween ahead of schedule. Or Hillary's people are desperately trying to play the victim.
Donald Trump was accused by his rival's campaign of "menacingly stalking" Hillary Clinton on stage at Sunday night's debate, with even a prominent supporter likening the billionaire to a gorilla.
The Republican nominee took full advantage of the town hall debate format by moving around in front of the cameras rather than sitting on his chair.
This was deemed "stalking".
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told reporters in the post-debate spin room that Trump had been "menacingly stalking" Clinton on stage.
Camera angles gave Trump a looming presence as he moved around in the background behind Clinton.
Also Trump is taller than Hillary. But the working theory is it was a ghoulish meandering.
“He couldn’t control himself and calmly sit down,” Fallon continued. “He was pacing the whole evening — even, at times, invoking the image of Rick Lazio invading her personal space. Sort of a ghoulish meandering around her when she was answering questions.”
A ghoulish meandering? That's quite a phrase. Invoked by an insane person.
On Twitter, Fallon complained that "At least Lazio was in her line of sight when he invaded her space".
You don't want to ghoulishly sneak up on a ghoul.
"If a man did that to me on the street ... I'd call 911," political commentator and former Republican strategist Nicolle Wallace said.
I assume Nicole gets driven in limos everywhere.I don't think she would handle New York pedestrian traffic too well.
But if Hillary Clinton can't share a debate stage with Trump without needing a safe space, how is she supposed to handle Putin who, knowing Merkel was afraid of dogs, made sure to bring a dog to their meeting? There are no safe spaces in international affairs.
