A top spokesperson for Donald Trump claimed Thursday that Hillary Clinton has brain damage that impairs her ability to communicate.
Speaking on MSNBC, Katrina Pierson alleged that Clinton has a disorder called "dysphasia," a condition brought on by brain trauma that erodes a person's ability to speak or comprehend language.
"What's new are the other reports or observations of Hillary Clinton's behavior or mannerisms ... as well as her dysphasia, the fact that she's fallen, she has had a concussion, there are really interesting things out there," Pierson said.
Trump has long claimed that Clinton lacks the physical stamina to be president and has stated repeatedly that she takes weekends off to catch up on her sleep.
But Trump and his campaign have not directly engaged with conspiracy theories, circulated on ultra-right wing blogs and talk shows, that Clinton's health is badly deteriorating and that the media is complicit in a cover-up.
There is no evidence to back those claims up and Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, has repeatedly stated that the former secretary of State is fit to serve.
Recently, Bardack released a statement to address the conspiracy theories around apparent falsified medical records with her name on them saying that Clinton has dysphasia.
"These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts," Bardack said. "To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, Secretary Clinton is in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States."
Pierson on Thursday said Clinton could clear up the confusion by holding a press conference in which she shows she's capable of fielding questions.
"It's important to note that Hillary Clinton has taken a lot of time off the campaign trail," Pierson said. "It's something that needs to be addressed,

A couple points. One is that Pierson's remarks were in the nature of "some people say" and "Hillary could clear this up."
The other point agrees with you. Bringing this up, or endorsing it as a medical issue, is nothing but trouble. I don't know if Pierson is deliberately setting this up using her own judgment, knowing she could be a sacrificial goat, or if higher levels of the campaign command and control structure is encouraging her. Either way, she is expendable - they all are, except for the man at the top.
w3ords taken out of context
msnbc lies again
Jason EASLEY?
Yer gonna take HIS word for ANYTHING?
This guy runs a blog so far left that he cusses out MSNBC as a bunch of right wing thugs.
Hillary has vertigo look at symptoms http://www.webmd.com/brain/vertigo-symptoms-causes-treatment#1
They are using is as a way to get her to a press conference. It’s not a bad strategy.
One has to wonder why she’s afraid of a press conference when she has an absolutely fawning press.
Honestly, when is the last time you think those two had sex with each other?
Really, people, the time has come to stop believing your lying eyes and start believing what your major media “betters” tell you.
They have journalism degrees, they are objective and fair, and you have been suckered by wild Internet conspiracy theories.
P.S. If you believe this your IQ is below room temperature.
She might be named a prima ballerina with the New York City Ballet and then we'd all have red faces.

Worth watching. Hillary's health has obviously declined since 2008. Politics aside, I do not think she has the physical and mental fortitude to serve as president. The movie is also interesting in reminding us how far she and the dems have moved away from 9/11. Mind boggling that we went from 9/11 to importing Muslim "refugees" as fast as we can.
There is no downside to this attack other than tweaking the delicate sensibilities of the GOPe tribe. She is incapable of proving it false. At least Kerry was able to windsurf. Hillary might be successful at emulating driftwood if she could stop seizing long enough to lie still.
Oh it’s not so rare. 0.6-3% of the population has it.
I suspect a lot of terminally butthurt Cruzties are abroad in the land.
“Trump has stepped in it again.”
Trump did not make the claim.
“It has been a bit of a disaster after the convention”
Only with you and the MSM.
“Its out there now. True or not.”
That has been the strategy of the MSM.
“I would be disappointed if you were right but not shocked as he has a LOT of trouble thinking before he talks sometimes.”
Chill. You can still vote for Hillary.
She does have a rare brain. Thankfully.
Panties in a wad? Lighten-up. Criticize this old hag traitor/criminal. Ridicule her relentlessly.
