Republicans were quick to jump on a video captured by ABC affiliate KETV in Obama, Nebraska, showing Hillary Clinton’s campaign vehicle, the so-called “Scooby” van, idling in a handicap parking spot at a recent stop.
“Woman of the people!!” Republican National Committee research director Raj Shah tweeted, alongside a photo of Clinton by the van.
And another, from RNC communications director Sean Spicer, referencing characters from the cartoon “Scooby-Doo Show,” the Hill found: “Don’t ever remember Shaggy, Fred or Daphne partking the #ScoobyVan in a handicap space.”
Clinton’s campaign responded to the public relations ding.
“This care was never parked here and you can see that from the fact that the video includes break lights,” an aide said, to the Hill. “There was [a Secret Service] agent driving the car – as there always is – and they were out front for entrance and exit. During the event, the van pulled forward to a parking spot.”
Iowa’s Department of Transporation says parking in a handicap space without a proper tag brings a $200 fine.
