Media forced to type ‘StopHillary’ for Wi-Fi access at GOP debate

The Republican National Committee has reportedly found a quick and easy way to get members of the media to turn against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton: Cut off their Wi-Fi access.

{mosads}According to several reporters and GOP operatives attending Tuesday night’s Republican debate in Milwaukee, Wis., the RNC has locked down the event’s Wi-Fi with the password “StopHillary.” Media outlets who wish to use the Internet to file stories will be required to type in that phrase to access the World Wide Web.

“@GOP is run by scared 8th grade boys,” added one Twitter use.

“That is IRL trolling of the first magnitude. Most impressive,” praised another.

A CNN reporter covering the debate had just five words to say about the sneaky stunt: “can’t make this stuff up.”
