IOWA – During a talk on income inequality in the US, Former Secretary of State and current presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was seen twitching her eye, stuttering over her words, and leaking mechanical fluids onto the stage. Shortly after, Clinton shouted “404 FILE: WINKING GESTURE NOT FOUND” repeatedly until her campaign manager, Ted Marbleson, rushed on stage, apparently shutting her down and wheeling her off.

“I can’t believe she malfunctioned like that,” said a sweaty Marbleson. “We installed the new winking gesture last night precisely for this talk, for some human-like charm to convince viewers that she’s a genuine person. But I guess this one was a bit too human for her.”

The chief-engineer, Edward Flowbitz, examined the Clintonbot immediately after the incident, and is confident he pinpointed the issue.

“Well, you see, the problem is that there wasn’t enough space on her hard drive to install this gesture,” said Flowbitz. “When I installed the gesture, I must’ve deleted the canned response files to questions about Benghazi. Plus, check this out,” he said, pointing to a glowing computer chip. “Her obviously fake laugh sensor is hot, watch what happens when I click it.”

Not everyone on the campaign trail is surprised by Clintonbot’s malfunction. Her husband and former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, unsurprisingly, had something to say.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this ‘ol gal leak,” said the former President, while chuckling and leaning in for a high five.
