You think a person with epilepsy chooses to have a seizure?
No I don't think they had a seizure at all. It's a snooty, self-important liberal who couldn't win in the arena of ideas and made up a seizure to extract revenge.
No, but they can certainly pretend to have one to advance their political cause, or just out of personal pique.
Some people are just prima donnas who demand everyone pay attention to them. I think this particular guy is one of those.
