Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revisited the video showing her appearing to stagger and nearly faint after a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in 2016, conceding on Wednesday that campaigning while having pneumonia was a “mistake.”(snip)
Clinton compared Talarico’s experience to her own after the 2016 video went viral as she ran for president, arguing that critics portrayed her as being “on death’s door.”
Swisher said that President Donald Trump was “quantumly sicker” than Clinton had been, though “they hide it,” and asked Clinton to respond.
“They tested me and they said, ‘Oh, you’ve got pneumonia. You need to take like five or six days off.’ I said, ‘I can’t do that.’ And my doctor said, ‘Well, that’s what you should do.’ And I thought, ‘Well, yeah, that’s what I should do.’
“But I’m campaigning and I have to show up on 9/11 because it means a lot to me since, as you know, I was a senator [during the attacks]. So, I kept going, which was a mistake,” Clinton recalled.
She added, “They did have the video of me struggling to get to the car to be able to, you know, take some breaths and recover myself. From my perspective, it worked because it was just papering social media, papering traditional media. ‘I was dying. I was lying about my health.’ This is from a guy who has never given us an honest medical report ever. Ever.”

...tossed into that van like a side o' beef!
Sorry....not buying her revisionist pneumonia story.
Yeah. Sure, Hill.
Shouldn’t the toe of that shoe be cloven?
She might have been 50 points ahead if that hadn’t happened.
Sarcastic on the 50 points.
No. The good die young.
Near-fainting? She was out.
She’s signaling she’s tanned rested and ready!
“Why am I not 50 points ahead?”
One of the funniest things I ever heard. Truly showed how utterly out of touch with reality that crazy woman was.
Says the woman who stated she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, not realizing he climbed Mt. Everest 2 years after she was born.
Trump should have given Zdenek Gazda the Presidential Medal of Freedom for risking death by filming and releasing that video.
vodka and Xanax
Throw her in the van, Stan!
Put her in the back, Jack!
Toss her like a side of beef, chief!
Have you ever seen them tossing those cold, dead fish at the market in Seattle?
Same thing.
‘...not buying her revisionist pneumonia story.”
Me neither.
Was she not up and about that afternoon? Went and saw the grandkid or Chelsea or something like that? IOW miraculous fast recovery from pneumonia.
yep....she was indeed.
Is that the picture from when the house fell on her??
Revisionist history from Hillary. And we know she never lies. And at this point…. What difference does it make?! She is not and never will be President…. She sold her soul for the prize and never got it.
