Hillary Clinton showed up to a Newark, NJ, campaign rally “visibly intoxicated.”
News blog True Pundit interviewed one of Clinton’s Secret Service members, who anonymously admitted: Hillary had “been hitting [alcohol] early” on the morning of June 1.
When she appeared at Rutgers University midday for a campaign rally with New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, law enforcement sources told True Pundit that Clinton was “visibly liquored, at times loud and ‘animated.’”
The Secret Service source added: “It’s happened before but not that early in the day.” The campaign rally was scheduled for 1:30pm.
In a short video posted by Sen. Booker to Twitter on June 1, Hillary stumbles while getting out of a van, and then dances towards Booker’s camera.
With drooping eyelids, Hillary then slurs to the camera, “Always happy to be here in Jersey!”
Apparently, Clinton was so drunk that she and Sen. Booker had to stop at a local cafe to “get some strong coffee in her,” according to the source. They planned to ditch reporters in heavy traffic.
Hillary’s heavy drinking was alleged in an email released by Wikileaks last week, where staff members discussed how to sober up the former Secretary of State.
In August 2015, communications aide Jennifer Palmieri instructed advisor John Podesta to find a drunk Hillary, so she could respond to documents that had been emailed hours before.
“I think you should call her and sober her up some,” Palmieri advised.
The Newark rally was not the first time Clinton had been caught allegedly drunk on video. Just yesterday, October 30, Hillary was “campaigning” at Miami bar at 10am. Released video footage after the second presidential debate shows a slurring Clinton on her plane saying that they need to take off, so that drinks could be served.
Presidential history is filled with stories of heavy drinkers: George Washington distilled his own whiskey at his Mt. Vernon plantation, and the term “lobbying” was reportedly coined because special interests would corner Ulysses S. Grant during his daily happy hours in the lobby bar of Washington’s Hay-Adams Hotel. But showing up already drunk at a lunchtime campaign rally may take the cake.
