Trump says media ignoring Clinton’s cough attack

Donald Trump criticized the news media Tuesday for turning a blind eye to Hillary Clinton’s coughing attack.

“Mainstream media never covered Hillary’s massive ‘hacking’ or coughing attack, yet it is #1 trending,” the Republican presidential nominee tweeted Tuesday. “What’s up?”


On Monday at a campaign stop in Cleveland, the Democratic nominee had a bad coughing attack in which she said she was allergic to Trump.

“Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic,” Clinton said to laughter and applause.

“Once I get over my allergic reaction, let me say that we’re here in part because we know how important this election is to Ohio. It’s not just as Tim [Kaine] said that Ohio is one of those battleground states you hear about every four years, it’s that Ohio represents everything that’s great about America and all of the challenges and opportunities that we face,” she added.

Following her coughing fit, social media made it a top trend. #HackingHillary was trending on both Twitter and Facebook in the United States.
