The Bump On Hillary Clinton’s Back During The Debate Raises Health Questions: Some Say Lester Holt Helped Her ‘Cheat’

The first presidential debate of 2016 took place on Monday night, and the world is up in arms over Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. While many try to determine who actually won the debate and what was fact or fiction, others are looking at something else. Well, there are a lot of other people who have turned their attention elsewhere, and it is to the strange thing on Clinton’s back. Many are wondering if she was secretly wired or think it may have had something to do with her health.

At the same time, there are many saying the Democratic presidential candidate was able to cheat during the debate, and she got a lot of assistance from host Lester Holt.

First, there have been the number of medical episodes that Clinton has had to deal with during the last few months. During her last one in New York, there was talk that she had a body double sub for her, and a weird metal object dropped out of her pants.

Now, there is a new conspiracy theory going around. It comes from the debate on Monday night, and what she may have been hiding under her jacket. Gizmodo reported that attention has now been given to a hidden device situated under the Democratic candidate’s clothing, and people want to know what it was.

It looks like a microphone pack, but others aren’t entirely sure that there is such a simple explanation.

Considering she just had another medical episode on Sept. 11, 2016, and it ended up being pneumonia, many are wondering about her health. The Democratic candidate has been witnessed coughing quite often during speeches and appearances, and there is the theory that this device worn at the debate may have been a cough prevention machine.

Other theories from groups of Trump supporters have said that it could be a device which sends impulses to the brain to help with the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Some people think it may be a secret earpiece that allowed someone off stage to feed her lines or answers for the questions she is asked by the moderator.

Political Insider thinks it may have been something to do with her health, but it also could have been a secret earpiece. Images have appeared that show something sticking out of Clinton’s ear and it has led many to think that she was being fed lines from offstage.

With all the conspiracy theories running around, Snopes has taken this situation into their own hands to determine exactly what the bump in the back of her clothing might have been. With some analysis, they have come to the conclusion that it was nothing more than a battery pack for a lapel microphone.

It was evident throughout the debate that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton did have lapel microphones on. Yes, there were mics on their podiums, but the lapel mics were there for secondary usage.

This bump on the back of Hillary Clinton is just one of the many conspiracy theories that have come forth during the presidential election. Maybe, it has something to do with her health or maybe it is just a microphone pack. No matter what, there will always be those who think there is something more to the easily explainable.

For instance, there is also a report from The Political Insider that states Hillary Clinton cheated during the debate and did it with moderator Lester Holt’s assistance.

A lot of attention has been given to the fact that Holt interrupted Donald Trump a large number of times on Monday. As a matter of fact, it was 41 times, and now, a video has gone viral that shows all of the alleged signs given by the Democratic candidate in order to make Holt interrupt Trump.

The video breaks down numerous times that she made a distinct signal to Holt so that Trump could be interrupted or that she could address the situation. Maybe, it is all just coincidental, or maybe there really is something to all the social media cries that the debate was rigged.

Holt has been criticized by some for not getting involved enough in the debate, and people feel as if he didn’t make himself known.

No matter what, both sides of supporters are going to do whatever they can to come down on the opposition. The Daily Mail reports that Holt let the Democratic candidate off the hook by not asking about the email scandal and Benghazi situation during the debate.

Maybe Holt had a certain agenda for the debate, or maybe he was just attempting to keep things in an orderly fashion. Some believe that him not making himself overly known or recognized on Monday night was a good thing as he let the candidates speak for themselves.

Hillary Clinton has enough to worry about in the 2016 presidential election without conspiracy theories being thrown at her left and right. No matter what, though, they’re going to happen whether from Donald Trump supporters or anyone else. That lump on her back during the first debate may have been a mic or a secret wire or a cough prevention machine or really just nothing important at all, but some refuse to believe it.
