Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, easily considered as one of the highest profiled candidate in the upcoming 2016 presidential election, does not appear to have the press on her side.

Drawing much ire from the journalists over the weekend, the Clinton campaign used a rope to keep reporters away while the candidate walked in a July 4 parade in Gorham, New Hampshire. As reported by CNN, campaign aides said they were compelled to corral the crowd of journalists as they worried the eager press would block the view of New Hampshire voters trying to enjoy the parade.

"You guys, we are going to do 10 yards and a little more organized," instructed one of Clinton's advance staffers. "So maybe a voter could see her, that kind of thing." A member of Clinton's Secret Service chided a reporter for not going fast enough.

Journalists have repeatedly complained of their treatment while covering the Clinton campaign.

In June, as reported in the Huffington Post, journalists met privately to discuss their frustration over access on the campaign trail.

Outside of some slight reporter outrage, Clinton’s participation in the parade seems to have been a success as the candidate met with many New Hampshire voters.

The former Secretary of State was followed by a vocal protester, holding a sign that read "Benghazi." Alluding to the 2012 terrorist attack that resulted in four dead Americans, the sign wielding protester called Clinton a "carpetbagger” and asked, "Hillary, where were you at 3 a.m. when the phone rang on September 11?"

When asked about the demonstrators, Clinton said, "I am just having a good time meeting everybody."

Seizing the opportunity to take a shot at the presidential hopeful, Michael Short, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said, "We all knew Hillary Clinton was desperate to avoid the media after months of controversy, but employing a moving rope line takes ducking reporters to absurd new heights."
