The Democratic candidate for the White House, Hillary Clinton, had to pause her speech due to a coughing fit during a rally this Monday – and blamed her Republican rival. "Every time I think about Trump I get allergic," said the ex-secretary of state, amid the laughter of her audience of supporters.

In response to the joke, the manager of Trump's campaign, Kellyanne Conway, used the incident to criticize the distance Clinton maintains towards the press. "Must be allergic to media. Finally spent a minute w/ them," wrote Conway, in her Twitter profile. Hillary, who hasn't appeared at a large press conference since December, received journalists in her campaign plane on Monday.

Dictators

During the interview in the plane, the Democrat commented that Trump has a "bizarre attraction" to dictators. In addition, she said she was worried about possible Russian interference in the American elections on November 8. U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating the possibility, which was raised after cyber attacks against the Democratic Party in July.




A candidata democrata à Casa Branca, Hillary Clinton, precisou pausar seu discurso durante um comício nesta segunda-feira ao sofrer um ataque de tosse – e culpou o rival republicano. “Todas as vezes que penso em Donald Trump eu fico alérgica”, disse a ex-secretária de Estado, sob risos da plateia de apoiadores.

Em resposta à brincadeira, a gerente de campanha de Trump, Kellyanne Conway, usou o episódio para criticar a distância que Clinton mantém da imprensa. “Deve ser alérgica à mídia. Finalmente passou um minuto com eles”, escreveu Conway, em seu perfil no Twitter. Hillary, que não realiza uma grande coletiva de imprensa desde dezembro, recebeu jornalistas em seu avião de campanha na segunda-feira.

Ditadores

Durante entrevista na aeronave, a democrata comentou que Trump tem uma “atração bizarra” por ditadores. Além disso, afirmou estar preocupada com uma possível interferência russa nas eleições americanas de 8 novembro. As agências de inteligência americanas estão investigando a possibilidade, que foi levantada após ataques cibernéticos contra o Partido Democrata, em julho.
