Deafening Clinton Speech Drowns Out MSNBC Coverage

February 2, 2016

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell struggled to talk over Hillary Clinton’s loud speech and blaring rally music at a campaign event in Nashua, New Hampshire Tuesday.

Clinton's enthusiastic speech drowned out the majority of Mitchell's attempted interview with USA Today’s Susan Page and the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza.

"I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship! I will fight to make sure we get criminal justice reform and end the era of mass incarceration! I will defend social security against privatization!" Clinton said as Mitchell attempted to ask Page about Clinton's campaign strategy.

Midway through Mitchell’s interview, Clinton ended her speech and proceeded to blast "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten to accompany her exit.

"This is my fight song, take-back-my-life song, prove-I’m-alright song, my power’s turned on, starting right now I’ll be strong," the music roared as Mitchell kept trying to interview Page.

The song grew so loud that Mitchell had to acknowledge its deafening effects.

"And Susan Page…it gets very, very noisy as the rally is ending…" Mitchell said.

The camera then cut to Cillizza, who was trying not to laugh.

"Susan Page, thank you so much. Chris Cillizza, as the rally comes—to the break–coming up, too close for comfort. Hillary Clinton escaping a disaster in Iowa, but can she catch Bernie Sanders here in New Hampshire?" Mitchell said.

"This is my fight song, take-back-my-life song…" the music continued to blare.

"We'll ask one of Sanders’s top advisers next. On this special edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports, live from New Hampshire," Mitchell said.
