Clinton team blasts reporters with noise machine during Hillary fundraising speech

Reporters outside a Colorado fundraiser for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were unable to listen in on the Democratic presidential candidate's remarks after staffers blasted a static noise machine in their direction.

Clinton, who was holding a fundraiser Thursday evening in Colorado, was speaking outside at a private residence. Just when she started to speak, according to CBS Denver's Stan Bush, campaign staffers directed a speaker spewing out static noise at reporters hanging out across the street.

"Guess @HillaryClinton campaign dsn't want reporters to hear fundraiser speech. Turned on a static noise machine pointed at us when she spoke," Bush tweeted.

Bush also tweeted out video showing the scene when the noise was turned off after Clinton spoke.

I guess she has an exclusive message for the High Rollers that us hoi polloi shouldn't hear.

I suppose the talks she gives behind closed doors are reminiscent of rMoney's infamous 47% speech. Hopefully a member of the wait staff will record it . . .

Hillary won't release her transcripts, has tons of private big dollar a plate dinners, and in this instance, her campaign deliberately kept the press from reporting on what was said.

secrecy is appalling. Just like the closed private campaigning she did in the beginning. It's no wonder why her untrustworthy numbers are so high.

muscle their way in there and judge everyone in attendance!

Why isn't Bernie raising money for down ticket Dems?


He should use a white noise machine when he finally decides to fulfill his obligation to support Democrats, too.

I don't think much of the source, myself, but I tend to believe my lying eyes over my bias.
