If Hillary Clinton’s first campaign event of the 2016 presidential cycle is any indication, political reporters may want to start conditioning with some sprints.
Clinton has been driving cross-country to Iowa in a van she’s nicknamed “Scooby” — it reminds her of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine from the classic cartoon, an aide told CNN — since she announced her presidential campaign Sunday.
MSNBC’s camera caught the press corps Tuesday in Monticello, Iowa as they recognized and chased the “Scooby” van around the back of a community college building where one of the campaign’s roundtable events was scheduled to take place.
Alex Seitz-Wald, a reporter for the network, noted that aides likely tried to avoid that spectacle by not informing the press that Clinton would enter the building from the back.
Watch below:
Oh for fucks sake. Vaguely clinging to the title of “journalists” they are now reduced to paparazzi.
Ruh Roh!
All kidding aside, I’m embarrassed for every person in that picture.
EDIT: JFC, there’s even more people in the video!
Good on HRC and her campaign! Treating the media like the fame whore/stenographer trolls that they are!!
No, I think Clilnton is trolling the “journalists” big time to see just how ridiculous she can make them act and look.
Wasn’t the van in Scooby Doo called “The Mystery Machine?”
