How About That Temperament? Hillary Lashes Out at Bill Clinton 'Rapist' Protester at Rally
We thought she was steady as a rock...

We keep hearing from Democrats how calm and collected Hillary Clinton is under pressure. How her temperament is steady. How she is slow to anger. This is all meant, in Democrats' minds, to draw a distinction between their candidate and Donald Trump, whom they paint as unstable and emotionally volatile.
Consider the following footage, however, of a campaign rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Tuesday. A heckler present at the rally accused Bill Clinton of being a rapist. Rather than "go high," Hillary instead lashed out at a protester, who was ultimately led out of the rally. The audio makes it difficult to discern what Clinton says to the protester, but The AmericanMirror was able to decipher her words:
As Clinton spoke, the protester shouted, “Bill Clinton is a rapist!” as the audience began to boo.Hillary’s demeanor changed almost instantly and she became angry at the protester, screaming at him.“You know, I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive vision from people who support Donald Trump,” she shouted before she was drowned out by the crowd.“We are not going backwards, we are going forwards!” she yelled, continuing to point at the protester.
The Mirror astutely notes that Clinton did not bother to defend her husband while she was lashing out at the protester.
The blog also provides video that's been circulating on Twitter of the protester being removed from the audience:
