Hillary Clinton not dead from heart attack, as fake news site claims
Politicfact ^ | 8/3/2017 | Joshua gillin

An online story about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suffering not just one heart attack, but three, is a fake news story concocted by a parody site run by a liberal troll.

"Breaking: Hillary Clinton has third heart attack — docs says she ‘won’t survive’," read the headline on a July 28, 2017, post on PoliticsPaper.com. Facebook users flagged the post as being potentially fabricated, as part of the social media site’s efforts to combat fake news.

The article called Clinton the "Butcher of Benghazi" and quoted Dr. Eugene Icsa of Westchester Memorial Hospital in upstate New York as saying, "We predict she’ll be at rest within hours."

The story further said daughter Chelsea was visiting, but husband and former President Bill Clinton was "sitting on the front porch of the Chappaqua mansion drinking what looks like either tomato juice or a Bloody Mary."

There have been no other reports of Hillary Clinton suffering a massive coronary episode; it’s because she hasn’t. The story is fake.

The photo ostensibly of a doctor feverishly working to save Clinton’s life is actually a stock photo we most recently found on a Seattle Times story about the challenges facing trauma nurses.

There’s not even a Westchester Memorial Hospital in upstate New York, as far as we can tell. There is a Westchester Medical Center in Westchester, N.Y., but that’s it.

Their deaths have been all over FB. They were supposedly in a bad boat/yacht accident. The first time I read it, I did a little search and it was fake news.

Or she is, and the actress who is going to play her from here on out will be making an appearance any minute now.

Her death will solve nothing. A long line of individuals with her ideology are waiting in the wings. The problem is much larger than Hillary Clinton.

Well, in order for that to be true, she would have to have a heart.

That’s OK as long as they are picked off one at a time.

The first of many 'Poor Hillary' fake news stories we're going to hear to thwart the, "Bless her heart, the Republicans, Trump and Sessions are going after Hillary. How could they?"

Guess what libs, She is going to be investigated, indicted, prosecuted and convicted. Get used to it.
