Hillary Clinton attended a Sept. 11 memorial service in New York yesterday morning, and after over an hour in the heat, Clinton appeared unsteady as she was helped into an SUV. Soon after, as NBC News reported, we learned why.
Hillary Clinton’s wobbly incident Sunday is a near-textbook case of what can happen with “Walking pneumonia” – patients don’t feel great, but they’re not sick enough to stay home in bed or to be hospitalized.
Since finding out about her “Walking pneumonia” on Friday, Clinton apparently did a fair amount of work.
Reuters’ report quoted Peter Daou, a former Clinton aide, saying, “After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event. It was an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies.”
CNN’s media correspondent, Brian Stelter, wrote overnight that coverage of this story “Will be magnified and extended because the people who’ve been pushing conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health for some time understand well one of the less appealing qualities of the political press: say something long enough and loud enough and it becomes a controversy, part of the narrative, and gets covered regardless of its actual importance or basis in fact.”
Donald Trump and his allies peddled outrageous conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health, including baseless allegations about the candidate having some kind of neurological disorder.
Because Clinton is on antibiotics, her temporary ailment is feeding the narrative, which turns a routine campaign development into a major, race-changing campaign development.
