Charlie Rose to Bill Clinton: ‘Let’s Assume You Make It To Heaven’

Bill Clinton tried and failed to explain away his wife’s latest medical scare during an interview with CBS’ Charlie Rose on Monday.

“What happened yesterday was that I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial – as a senator on 9/11, this is incredibly personal to me”, Hillary Clinton said on her fainting spell as she left Ground Zero in New York City on Sunday.

BILL CLINTON: No, not a shot.

However, now they are saying she was diagnosed with pneumonia and Mr. Clinton quickly corrected himself.

Bill Clinton said his wife “frequently – well not frequently, rarely” has experienced fainting episodes when dehydrated.

If Clinton has any other sort of ailment that caused the problem, then ‘it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors, ‘ Bill Clinton said.

Clinton didn’t say specifically when she’d return to the campaign trail, other than to tell CNN’s Anderson Cooper that it will be “in the next couple of days”. Video footage taken at the event appears to show the candidate wobbling on her feat and being helped into a van, her feet dragging.

We’ve got a call into CBS, but no word back yet. And he said he plans to step down from it’s board of directors if Hillary Clinton wins in November, and that the foundation will stop accepting foreign and corporate contributions then as well.

He continued: ‘She’s doing fine.

Video showed her collapsing as she walked to her auto, and her doctor released a statement later in the day saying the former Secretary of State had been battling pneumonia while on the campaign trail.

U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton stands with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, after accepting the nomination in July.

Asked what the Clinton Foundation’s most important achievement has been, Bill Clinton said: “We got the world’s cheapest AIDS medicine to more than half the people on earth who are alive with it, including more than two-thirds of the kids”.
