North Carolina News Anchor Grips Handcuffs During Election Polling Segment

[mfcorey1]

A news anchor at a CBS affiliate in Greensboro, North Carolina, clutched handcuffs for no apparent reason during a segment on election polling last Tuesday.

Just before summarizing the close North Carolina election polling performed by nearby Elon University, WFMY News anchor Morgan Hightower put down a tablet she had been holding and picked up a pair of handcuffs.

“Now let’s get back to those new poll numbers that Elon released today,” Hightower said, visibly gripping the handcuffs. “They said not only will this presidential race be too close to call in our state, so will the race for governor and Senate.”

The camera next zoomed in on her hands holding the handcuffs, then cut away to feature graphics of the poll results.

Neither Hightower nor WFMY’s news director immediately responded to requests for comment about the meaning behind the gesture.

It is hard, however, not to associate Hightower’s use of handcuffs with the claims of Donald Trump’s campaign and its backers that Hillary Clinton belongs in prison for her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
