Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign was forced to deny that she was wearing an earpiece during Wednesday night’s presidential forum with Republican challenger Donald Trump.
Several conservative news outlets highlighted the appearance of what looked like a device inside her ear. One particular report from Alex Jones’ Infowars was featured on the front page of aggregation site Drudge Report on Thursday morning. On Drudge Report, it was titled, “Hillary and the ear pearl.”
Even more chatter took place on Twitter. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., retweeted the Infowars report. On social media, others claimed it’s a reflection of studio lights.
He said he would be more cautious than Clinton. “I think I'd be a lot slower. She has a happy trigger,” he said.
Clinton, for her part, told the crowd: “We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again and we’re not putting ground troops into Syria.”
