Hillary Clinton’s slogan of “Stronger Together” just took on a whole new meaning, and should maybe be changed to “Helpless Without.”

Clinton is known for avoiding press conferences and often misspeaking when under pressure, and apparently people in the Clinton camp are now concerned about what she will say in her own words.

So have they have taken the matter into their own hands?

Social media users were up in arms during last night’s Commander-in-chief forum live on NBC, when they noticed what appeared to be a mini, flesh-colored ear bud in the ear of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

That led to questions about whether Clinton was being coached by aides on how to respond to NBC’s Matt Lauer during the live interview.

True Pundit reported, “NYPD sources involved with the NBC forum’s security detail confirm Clinton was wearing an ‘inductive earpiece,” the same technology employed by almost all lead Broadway actors to receive forgotten lines and stealth off-stage cues from directors.”

The article continues to report details about the technology of the piece, asserting that it is Bluetooth and Clinton could have been receiving help in New York City from someone all the way in Washington D.C.

While the technology is astounding, it wasn’t enough to stop Hillary from stalling her speech while apparently processing and reiterating whatever she was being told to say.

Throughout the live questioning by Lauer, tougher questions prompted a clear stalled reaction from the former First Lady.

When asked about her emails regarding the covert drone program, Clinton took an entire 4 seconds to respond. There were other moments during the interview where Clinton’s words were broken and the spacing between her words seemed unnaturally long.

Conservative actor James Woods, who would certainly be familiar with the technology as an experienced stage performer, drew media attention to the earpiece in a tweet.

#Hillaryearpiece quickly gained popularity on twitter, with one user tweeting, “This cheater can’t even speak for herself. UNFIT to lead.”

Reddit users on The Donald subreddit were quick to criticize Clinton, with one user commenting “either she admits a health issue and says she’s deaf, or she admits to cheating.”
