Hillary Clinton’s health re-emerges as issue in ’16 campaign
Dr Lisa R Bardack said Ms Clinton is now “recovering nicely” at home.
She went on to say, “Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable”.
The campaign has also come under fire for keeping the small group of reporters tasked with tracking Clinton’s movements in the dark for hours about what was going on and where Clinton was going after she departed ground zero.
Finally, when unable to deny that Hillary had been seriously sick and pretending otherwise, the narrative became how she was emblematic of women powering through and getting the job done even when risking a lung collapse.
“As I said, many of Trump’s supporters are hardworking Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them”, she said. She stumbles and appears to fall off the kerb as she is helped to the vehicle.
“Many of us (had) a sigh of relief when a gust of wind would come by because it was incredibly stifling”, Democratic congressman Joe Crowley, who stood near Clinton for about an hour at the ceremony, told MSNBC.
Now Clinton is sure to face new questions about whether she’s physically fit for the presidency.
Her schedule modification comes in the heat of a tightening race in the home stretch.
“We could have done better yesterday, but it is a fact that the public knows more about HRC than any nominee in history”, wrote Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri on Twitter in response to the criticism, using the initials of the Democratic presidential nominee. Trump has not been subjected to the same kind of scrutiny and has been less forthcoming during his presidential campaign.
Clinton made the comment at a fundraiser Friday, saying “you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables”, and calling them “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it”.
Prior to Sunday’s episode, Clinton’s health had been the subject of numerous reports in the media.
The internet is awash with claims that she may have a brain tumor, Parkinson’s or dementia.
“I saw what was going on with her and I said, you know, I’m going to go do something and I actually took a physical last week and probably, I guess this week, will release the results of it”, he told “Squawk Box” in a telephone interview.
Merrill said the former secretary of state attended the morning 9/11 ceremony for 90 minutes “to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen”. Clinton also has experienced deep vein thrombosis, a clot usually in the leg, and takes the blood thinner Coumadin to prevent new clots. She later received the all-clear.
Cokie Roberts, the longtime reporter thought to have impeccable insider Democratic contacts, is already reporting on NPR that influential donkeys are “very nervously beginning to whisper about her stepping aside and finding another candidate”.
The statement did not mention what medicine Trump might be on or other details typically included in such disclosures and was dramatically different from the hundreds of pages of medical records released by Republican nominee John McCain in 2008 to reassure Americans about his bouts of skin cancer.
While Clinton has released more information than Trump, Caplan said neither candidate has offered voters a sufficient record.
Her campaign initially blamed the incident on overheating but later disclosed that Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and that she’s taking antibiotics.
“‘Powering through’ illness is what women do”, tweeted former MI governor and Clinton surrogate Jennifer Granholm.
