Clinton Tells DeGeneres: Trump 'Stalked' Me During Debate Because He Was Upset About Leaked Tape

By Liz Kreutz

LOS ANGELES — Oct 14, 2016, 3:09 AM ET




PHOTO: In this photo released by Warner Bros., talk show host Ellen DeGeneres interviews Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during a taping of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif. Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.


During Sunday's presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Donald Trump appeared to loom over Hillary Clinton while she addressed the moderators and audience.

And like the millions of people who watched the political slugfest, Clinton took notice.




In fact, during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing Friday, Clinton didn't mince words about her GOP rival's behavior, saying he "stalked" her on stage while she addressed the moderators and audience.

"Because of the revelation of the public video, and everything that came out on 'Access Hollywood,' you know, he was really all wrought up, and you could just sense how much anger he had,” Clinton told DeGeneres, referring to the recently-leaked video of Trump making lewd comments about women with show's former host, Billy Bush. "And so, he was really trying to dominate and then literally stalk me around the stage.”

“It was so odd, because I’d go to talk to somebody,” she recalled, “and I would just feel this presence behind me, and you know, I thought, 'Whoa this is really weird.'" ...........................

in the mainstream portions of society

Only the alt-right fringe is supporting him at this point

He is trying to create his own reality (as usual!!!) but it's a
weird, creepy, yucky agenda in his world

This is going very nicely!

He might have thought he just showed a blank face, but it is a frown and very hostile. Or maybe he meant to look hostile, I don't know. Looks like a mob boss about to order a hit, or something.

He's wishing looks could kill.
His dumpsketeers certainly resonated with that look.

With Trump, it's a constant refrain: "This person is doing that to me, and that person is doing this to me!" And every time he whines, he loses voters. By remaining the adult, Hillary demonstrates the qualities of a President.

was stuck in close physical proximity, with someone who has said I'm crooked and evil, the devil, yelled it to my face. Who said they were going to imprison me, for daring to run against them or go against them controlling me and everything else in the world. Who acts like a violent tough guy, always mouthing off with violence. Who pretends he's a mob guy coz his daddy bought him his button so that's the crowd he aspires to ape. Who assaults and brags about how he assaults people like me and gets away with it. Who has made 4 public statements -- to a pack of unstable goonish violent followers who they have -- that I should be killed. Who's broadcast the idea of jailing or killing me to millions of people, to the screaming applause of thousands of goon fans. Who's a big blubbery famously bad tempered crazy zero morals zero impulse control completely bad impulse driven shambling, hulking sack of shit --

And if that someone lurched around in my physical space, dodging my line of sight, constantly moving erratically and spiraling in closer --

then there'd be no question of whether I cared about the opinion of anyone who thought they could let me know they were judging my "maturity".

The results wouldn't be pretty, for the shambling supersized sack of shit.

But that's just me.

I suggest Sec Clinton get a tazer, or barring that, a fist full of keys to the minivan that she was borrowing from her son-in-law's cousin for the post debate trip she had planned for some "me time". I'd aim right for that fleshy blubbery set of orange jowls he has, below that sphincter like potty mouth of his. Physically defending oneself while in defense of our fine nation isn't just extremely intelligent and completely justified, it's also a sign of mature responsible competent adult behavior.

because you're a woman, a woman who wouldn't back down from his threats, a woman more empowered than he has ever been.

Probably one of the very few times in his excuse of a life when a woman stood up to him and made him back off. You stayed cool, collected and in control.

Simply put, you scared him and he reacted as the feral predator he is.

As Dear Molly Ivins would have said, "Good on you."

So legally the SecSvc can't do anything

On the other, she's had a detail since 1992, so I should think they've had signals in place that if she believes she's in danger or threaten, the detail would be on it like ugly on an ape.

I do agree Trump should be warn to stay out of her personal space (arm's length). "That tends to make us jumpy, Mr Trump and you won't like us when we're jumpy."

He didn't touch her; he didn't verbally threaten her with physical harm.

He acted like the bore and bully he is, but that's not against the law.
