Was the Hillary hiking in the woods photo staged?
2016-11-13
[UK Daily Mail] The chance encounter a mother hiking with her daughter had with Hillary Clinton the day after losing the election may not be what it has been made out to seem.

Margot Gerster was out hiking with her daughter when she ran into Hillary and Bill Clinton in the upstate New York town of Chappaqua, where the Clintons have a home. Clinton was said to have been out walking her dogs with former president Bill Clinton, when Gerster spotted them. She took a photo with the former first lady who beamed from ear to ear, appearing to have had the weight of the world lifted from her shoulders as she stood next to Gerster.

The chance encounter Gerster had with Clinton gained national media attention as it was the first time Clinton had been photographed after losing the election.

However, some critics allege that their meeting while hiking was staged and not random at all. Adding more fuel to those claims is the fact that it's actually not the first time they've met.

When Gerster was in high school, her mother held a fundraiser for Clinton at Crabtree’s Kittle House in Chappaqua. Gerster and her sister posed for a photo with Clinton inside the restaurant which happens to be one of the politician's favorites, as the siblings smiled next to a beaming Clinton.

The fundraiser their family hosted may have been during the period of time Clinton was running for senator or when she served as senator for New York.

The caption Gerster wrote for the most recent photo of her with Clinton this week said that she was 'so heartbroken' after the Democrat's stunning loss.

Gerster has since removed both photos from her profile on Facebook.

#9  So, any time a person screams at you for not supporting this fake person, you are being screamed at by a fake person. Not that you needed the emotional insulation...

#6  Fake squared? Fake cubed? Fake to the power of fake. Remember that whenever one of her "supporters" screams at you.

#5  Pretty strange indeed for the Clintons to be seen in the woods... in broad daylight.
They usually take a shovel and go at night.

#4  Which is sad, because I'd really like to split a six pack with Bill waiting for the BBQ.

The greatest Pol of our time, maybe the greatest since Roosevelt. Mind you, I said POl.

Lyndon might have given him a run...

#2  For someone who needs absolute proof, just ask how old is the woman's daughter today?

And by the way, it looks like the kid is holding Hillary up.

#1  Staged???

You have to ask that question?

Everything the Clintons do is staged for PR and public consumption.
