@maggieNYT the more contempt HIllary shows the press, the harder they try to please her

@maggieNYT Hello, camera guy-just duck under it! Good Lord, why do they put up with being treated like this?

@maggieNYT shame on you media who put up with that. Ridiculous.

@maggieNYT The "media" must be OK with being demeaned by HRC — they still kiss her enormous derriere in overwhelming numbers. #Groveling

@maggieNYT @charliespiering Wow, journos are being treated like cattle.

I mean, has a candidate ever treated the press like livestock at a public event like this?

@maggieNYT This is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen! Why not put some baby leashes on them, @HillaryClinton ???

— Cromulent Word (@Cromulentness) July 4, 2015

@maggieNYT Yeah, just "one of the people."

— Don Fredrick (@Colony14) July 4, 2015

@maggieNYT So the press is complying with literally being treated as livestock? Is there any point in degradation that you draw the line?

— DMIII (@DMIIICEO) July 4, 2015

@maggieNYT when you act like sheep don't be surprised when you are literarily treated like sheep.

@exjon later she will shear them and make a sweet pant suit from the clippings

— jsfleetly (@jsfleetly) July 4, 2015

She will treat them like children and feed them garbage and they will drag her old bones across the finish line anyway.

— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 4, 2015

Wonder how the press would react to Scott Walker herding them like sheep.
