A top spokesperson for Donald Trump claimed Thursday that Hillary Clinton has brain damage that impairs her ability to communicate.
Speaking on MSNBC, Katrina Pierson alleged that Clinton has a disorder called "dysphasia," a condition brought on by brain trauma that erodes a person's ability to speak or comprehend language.
"What's new are the other reports or observations of Hillary Clinton's behavior or mannerisms ... as well as her dysphasia, the fact that she's fallen, she has had a concussion, there are really interesting things out there," Pierson said.
Trump has long claimed that Clinton lacks the physical stamina to be president and has stated repeatedly that she takes weekends off to catch up on her sleep.
But Trump and his campaign have not directly engaged with conspiracy theories, circulated on ultra-right wing blogs and talk shows, that Clinton's health is badly deteriorating and that the media is complicit in a cover-up.
There is no evidence to back those claims up and Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, has repeatedly stated that the former secretary of State is fit to serve.
Recently, Bardack released a statement to address the conspiracy theories around apparent falsified medical records with her name on them saying that Clinton has dysphasia.
"These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts," Bardack said. "To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, Secretary Clinton is in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States."
Pierson on Thursday said Clinton could clear up the confusion by holding a press conference in which she shows she's capable of fielding questions.
"It's important to note that Hillary Clinton has taken a lot of time off the campaign trail," Pierson said. "It's something that needs to be addressed,

Eureka!! ping!
This is stupid, the Trump campaign should not get into making specific medical assertions and diagnoses. Raise observable issues, sure, but no one has any business trying to play doctor on TV without all the medical facts. This can backfire big time.
Is she a Mad Cow?
Did she catch it from Joe Biden?
Rare? Dysphasia is not rare.
Watched a movie tonight about Hillary. There is no denying that she has changed a lot since 2008. Her health is clearly impaired today.
Blood clot, Parkinson’s, rare brain disease, hypothyroidism, concussion... What next?
I agree.
It's a lie! She has Hoof and Mouth disease that has spread to her brain.
And don’t forget about her cankles!
MSNBC. Wow.
Yup, unless this turns out to be true, Trump has “stepped in it” again. This is serious allegation with serious consequences.
You should read some of this ultra-left winger’s twitter posts. He’s got his nose way up Clinton’s caboose.
If Hildabeast is physically hunky dory, why does she shrink from reporters?
Because she doesn’t want another video out there of reporters startled by another of her dysphasic spaz attack.
Don’t like the word ‘spaz’?
Complain to someone who cares.
ditto.
It has been a bit of a disaster after the convention.
Not good for those of us who love liberty.
I seriously doubt Trump’s spokeswoman would say this without Trump’s authorization, and I doubt he’d authorize this without knowledge of Hitlery’s actual condition.
Oh?
What did Trump do?
I think “One Claw In the Grave” would be better.
Psychopathy and assorted age related brain issues, no need to get fancy.
My thoughts exactly. Let’s not make fools of ourselves.
