Donna Brazile says Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign made her sound “menopausal” with its excuse for why she fainted at the 9/11 memorial in Manhattan in 2016.
“When CNN aired the [fainting] tape, the reporter said that Hillary had left the event early because she was ‘overheated.’ What? Who thought that up? They made her sound menopausal, which was unlikely in a woman at the age of sixty-seven,” Brazile wrote in her new book, “Hacks.”
Brazile says she immediately sent a message to the Clinton camp headquarters in Brooklyn to explain how “stupid” an explanation “overheated” was and that the entire handling of the episode was a “blunder.”
“For a campaign that had a reputation for being closed off and sometimes less than truthful, this was a huge blunder. When reporters started calling trying to find out what was wrong after she left the memorial, the campaign had not returned their calls for an hour. When they did, they offered up this ‘overheated’ nonsense that sounded like a lie,” Brazile wrote.
The former Democratic National Committee head says that once the campaign finally crafted its formal response that evening, it still missed the mark and only made the situation worse.
“By the evening the campaign had worked to craft a statement from her doctor saying she had allergies that made her cough and now she had pneumonia. Did that make sense? Allergies do not cause pneumonia. When you have two explanations, my gut always senses that one of them is a lie,” Brazile wrote.
“And who was going to believe that a grandma with pneumonia would go to her daughter’s house to recover with two vulnerable little ones around? The situation had to be pretty dangerous for her to risk exposing the grandbabies. The whole story stank, and the way the campaign handled it just made matters worse.”
Delicious!
Brazile is raising all the topics conservatives have wanted investigated for the past 18 months - Seth Rich, DNC election rigging, Hillary’s health.
Its clearly a coup attempt within the Democrat Party.
There are still untold stories about that day.
It was a warm day in the 70s, I believe. How was she overheated?
She had strange blue sunglasses on. It was a mostly overcast day, not a bright sunny day. Were they really sunglasses, or glasses to help with another issue?
Why did they zoom off to Chelsea’s apartment rather than the ER, when Hillary collapsed? Wasn’t anyone in her entourage shocked that she just collapsed, and want to seek medical care? Unless they knew she had some condition not yet made public, which they knew they didn’t need an ER?
When you have two explanations, my gut always senses that one of them is a lie,” Brazile wrote.
When they come from a socialist, you know they are both
LIES.
Thanks for posting this. It is shocking to have such a long-time major Democrat player write a book like e this about Hillary.
Read last night that Tucker is going to have Brazile on his show weds ? ...if true, should be real interesting...probably will be the highest rated show of the week.
menopausal?
Hillary being in her late 60s at the time, she just turned 70, I think we all know she’s gone through menopause. Why would anyone bring this sort of subject up in the first place?
That episode was the final nail in the coffin for her presidential hopes.
She is gonna end up parked.
The DNC made a mistake...They should have run Biden.
Donna had better invest in a bullet proof vest if she keeps this up.
She spoke lovingly of Hillary on a news show this morning.
Ask Donna, once a chairwoman of Hillary’s party.
So Donna, why DID Hillary collapse in this street outside the 9/11 Memorial service??? Enquiring minds want to know! What IS her biggest health problem? I suspect we will never know, but it is interesting to speculate.
Like Colonel Klink backtracking with General Burchhalter.
That whole 9-11 ceremony was a total clusterf*** for Team Hillary.
First the telling “collapse video”, which was devastating by itself, then followed by the “heat exhaustion .... no wait, it’s actually pneumonia that we diagnosed a week ago but didn’t tell anybody about” bogus explanation that just reminded everybody what a bunch of liars the Clintons always were ...
And they’re still trying to fake us all into believing Hillary’s health is fine ... yet, if that’s the case, STILL no explanation of why she couldn’t come out to address her supporters on Election Night, and had to send out Skinny Puppy instead ....
Want to tick off Hillary’s supporters and Big Media at the same time? Just start talking about Hillary’s multiple health problems ... that will drive them bonkers!!
I, for one, think Donna is setting her sites on running for the presidency in 2020.
When they come from a socialist, you know they are both

Well said!
After freezing up at the memorial, she had to be helped by a covey of aides and SS.....then fell into the van....and lost her shoe.
She had no control of herself. Maybe even soiled her pantsuit?
Shortly thereafter, it was surreal when Hillary showed up outside Chelsea’s place looking for camera facetime.......grinning as if nothing happened....the practicd Clinton MO.
