During a 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City, Hillary Clinton reportedly began to feel unwell and needed to leave. As she was entering a waiting vehicle, video shows aides helping her into the car as her legs seemed to buckle beneath her.
Naturally, speculation about that buckling flamed out all over social media. People who dislike Clinton leaped to point to what they view as yet more evidence that she’s too elderly or frail or ill or something to be president. Those who want to tamp down that kind of speculation asserted that it was a hot day and she likely felt faint from the heat.
So then we got assertions on Twitter that fainting doesn’t look like that or that one does not “faint from heat.”
FaintHeat
But people do faint from heat, and yes, fainting does look like that. A statement from the Clinton campaign following the event said:
Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen. During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.
Clinton herself came out of her daughter’s apartment building within hours of the episode and said that it was “a beautiful day” and that she was feeling better.

Some old time Thyroid medication, in large doses especially can make someone very prone to elevated temperatures, LOL
I haven’t fainted from heat, but I’ve been dizzy enough to sit and rest...and my military coworkers insisted I go to the first aid station and get an IV hooked up. But that was in Saudi Arabia, roughly 120 degrees on the ramp, and it was a single incident.
Hillary had dark sunglasses on, seems to have trouble walking more than 30 yards for months, collapses dramatically in 80 degree heat...and the media says it means nothing at all.
Hillary fainted, NOT from being "overheated" but from the over abundance of CO2 on Erf, caused by man-made Global WarmingTM

Guess what FOX’s take is?
It’s not, we were wrong, but rather — it’s still important to censor the Conspiracry Theorists and Docs that haven’t examined her!
So, they double down!

I think I came close to passing out once when playing basketball for hours in triple digit heat.
But never while standing around in the shade in 70 degree weather.
“78 degrees. 36% Humidity.”
I was in the Philippines at Christmas time years ago and the humidity was past that and it was 92. Christmas week dude. I never wore jackets there and my shirts were always drenched in sweat.
If Hillary shows up in Phoenix in the middle of August what will happen, she simply bursts into flames?
Yes, but I doubt this was true in Hillary’s case. Why didn’t she remove her jacket? And she didn’t seem to be perspiring.
Yes, it is possible but seems to me that the temperature has a to be quite high or the individual is has some medical conditions.
When it happened to me, I was limp as a rag. I didn’t have a seizure, which is what Hillary looked like today.
It’s a judgement issue, if nothing else. Protocols should’ve been in place to get her to a hospital to be checked out.
Yeah but this “fainting” is chronic with Crooked HillRy.
Any other person who couldn’t stand, walk and is, in fact, collapsing would have been taken to a hospital for a quick look-see, at the very least.
I suspect they called medical personal, in additional to her “secret Service” special med handler, to meet them at Chelsea’s place.
I hear half the women there had the Vapors and were rushed to Hospital.
It was 87. If your blood pressure is low going in, anything over 80 can get you. I doubt if she has low blood pressure.
I know heat prostration, Senator Clinton, and you ain't got it.
In 80 degree weather?
Groomsmen and Grooms faint at weddings because they got hammered at the bachelor party the night before. Penguin Suits and hangovers don’t always mix well.
I still suspect Hillary suffers from the same type of affliction.
Everyone is different and depends on many variables, such as health, state of hydration, how well they’ve slept, did they wear a proper meal before hand, physical condition, medications they take, etc. I live in Florida and I work out in the yard frequently when it’s 90+ degrees and a lot higher humidity than what she experienced today and I don’t faint, however Im in good health and not 68. That being said, I have a neighbor who’s is in his 90’s, retired Marine, WWII vet, and he and his wife are out working in their yard all through the summer and they could probably run circles around me. I think she is ill with somethinf and trying her darnedest to make it over the finish !line.
