Did Hillary Clinton’s campaign plant an anti-Donald Trump question during a town hall meeting with voters?

The New York Times breathlessly reported it this way:

The teenager leaned into the microphone, pausing for a beat. She had a question for Hillary Clinton, about her high school and Donald J. Trump.

“At my school, body image is a really big issue for girls my age,” began the girl, Brennan Leach, 15, who had a red bow in her hair. “I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look.”

How, she asked, could Mrs. Clinton help girls understand “that they are so much more than just what they look like?”

Briefly, Mrs. Clinton appeared ready to rocket out of her seat.

“Thank you!” the candidate shouted, as the crowd cheered Brennan. “Thank you!”

Leach was seen on video reading the question from a card.

Twitter user @SpangleVision dug deeper into the curious case and may leave you wondering whether the question was as spontaneous as Clinton — and the New York Times — made it seem.

Spangle Vision notes a “Brennan Leach” appeared as a child actor in a movie a couple years ago and a company associated with its production is near where the town hall event took place in Haverford, Pennsylvania.

Side-by-side images show the first in the film and the girl reading the question from the card look alike.

Leach appears in the town hall footage a couple minutes before she asks her question and she can be easily seen from the stage because of a red bow in her hair.

After being selected by moderator — and fellow actress Elizabeth Banks — Leach stood to read her question off a card. She was the only such participant to do so.

After the question was read, Hillary not only appeared to act surprised, but also curiously said Chelsea would want to address it, as well.

“How does she know Chelsea wants to say something? Because the question was fabricated and you knew it was coming,” the citizen journalist noted.

He also reported Leach is the daughter of Democratic State Sen. Daylin Leach, which is confirmed by the politician’s biography on his website.
