Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth

The Washington Post ^ | August 8th, 2016 | By David Weigel

The first week of August was a rough one for Donald Trump's campaign; by coincidence, it was also a busy one for Trump supporters, who see a media coverup protecting Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, the Trump campaign released a Web ad that mocked Clinton's admission that she "short-circuited" by giving a misleading answer about the investigation into her emails.

"She took a short-circuit in the brain," Trump said at a Saturday night rally. "She's got problems. Honestly, I don't think she's all there."

At the same time, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths tried to build the case that the Democratic nominee for president has serious health issues and only they had noticed. Clinton's age and health had been subject to parody by some conservative media, but the new speculation was completely serious.

None of the evidence, often shared (or sent to reporters) with the hashtag #HillarysHealth, held up. In every case, a Clinton moment that had been captured by the media was reinterpreted and wrenched out of context. The highest-profile #HillarysHealth discovery came at the American Mirror, an obscure conservative news site with what it packaged as a scoop — "SHOCK PHOTO" — but had been aggregated from Twitter.

"Yeah, I didn’t understand the panic over that. If it were a one off I might agree, but Hillary’s health problems is an ongoing issue."

Head injuries, strokes, ms and other neurological disorders usually have a long medical disorders pathway:

Hillary Clinton wore special glasses during her testimony to Congress about the Benghazi attack as a result of the fall and concussion she suffered. Gayle King reports.

In other news, Newsmax supports Hillary Clinton.

I didn't know that about Andropov, thank you! Yes, I doubt Carson would speak publicly on the matter, especially if he DID see something that concerned him, but if so, I'd like to be the proverbial fly on the wall😉!!

By trying to dissuade people of the Wicked Witch’s health problems, the Liberal Media is giving more attention to them. Eventually, her health problems will manifest in a way that can’t be denied.

When the Post takes the time to weigh in on something like this, it's likely some of the rumors are true.

She never wears a wedding ring.

HMMMmmm...

[combat_boots]

I stand corrected. She often doesn’t wear a wedding ring.

[nascarnation]

Probably when her hands are swollen due to the medical probs.

[Grampa Dave]

Good observation!

[hoosiermama]

Was the break in the debate called when it was because she had another episode?
I would like someone to find that tape and analyze her actions BEFORE the break It might explain why she was late returning!

[Eleutheria5]

It took six months? Has she recovered?

This is projection. Democrats use junk science and old photos to advance global warming.

She had trouble climbing three steps to the stage when she introduced her VP pick. He had to help her navigate!

Gee WaPo does a article about this. Must be a huge issue if they are trying to put a lid on it.
