Clinton Ally Calls Pneumonia Controversy A “Self Inflicted F****** Nightmare”
Young Conservatives ^ | September 12, 2016 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 09/13/2016 5:15:29 AM PDT by xzins

Hillary Clinton proved once again this weekend that she just can’t tell the truth.

Even about the simplest things.

She almost collapsed on the sidewalk in New York City and her team assured us she was just a little overheated.

Turns out, she was diagnosed with pneumonia two days before.

It also looks like her team didn’t take her to the emergency room in order to keep the medical details under wraps.

Even allies of the Clinton campaign are stunned at the level of secrecy about her health.

Here is the great Matt Vespa with more.

From Townhall:

Once again the Clinton provided another reason for voters to remain skeptical about her honesty and trustworthiness. For the Clinton camp, this aura of secrecy once again bit them in the butt. One ally called this episode a “self-inflicted f**king nightmare” (viaThe Hill):

A lack of transparency about her health has turned what might have been a non-issue into a hugely problematic storyline for Hillary Clinton that could plague the Democratic presidential nominee into November, say allies and confidants.One ally described the string of events that culminated in Clinton leaving a Sept. 11 memorial early as a “self-inflicted f—ing nightmare.”

Clinton’s campaign sought to deal with the fallout on Monday of damaging video that showed Clinton’s knees buckling and Secret Service agents helping her into a van. The campaign later revealed that the Democratic nominee was suffering from pneumonia.

[…]

A second ally said Clinton and her team probably wanted to withhold that she’d been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday so that conservatives who have been raising questions about her health wouldn’t have ammunition.

Yet in withholding the information and allowing Clinton to go forward with an event that she was not able to handle, they made the situation worse.

Not ideal…

But, that’s what you get.

She could have easily told the media on Friday that she had pneumonia and rested a few days.

Instead, she lied. And got caught.

What else is new?

I read yesterday that the type of pneumonia she has isn’t contagious

How in the hell did she catch it?

But they aren’t admitting to it being anything else.

So, THEM using the ‘walking pneumonia’ excuse doesn’t work.

Because for THEM she actually has ‘collapsing pneumonia’.

They’ll be blaming Trump shortly for her pneumonia.

5, 4, 3, 2.....

Hillary and her storm troopers are obsessed with “secrecy” because she has something very damaging to hide. Namely, Parkinson’s disease, Stage 4. She always has something to hide, because she is corrupt, a criminal, and a liar.

Not everyone has the exact same effect. Depends on various circumstances. It’s a shot in the dark how pneumonia will affect someone. Can be very serious, but can be very easy, too.

I have no idea. I was told to stay home but was unable to as hundreds of people were working under me to finish a project that was two city blocks long.

It was odd how there were no Secret Service near Hillary when she came out of that apartment. It looked like she was standing in the wide open, numerous by-standers nearby.

Rush mentioned something interesting yesterday. He said the SS always ushers a candidate directly to a vehicle, to diminish the threat of an attack. During the vanbulance episode, they had her standing on the sidewalk for a long period of time, which is totally against secret service protocol. And the even bigger story is these agents seemed to know Hillary was in need of medical help because there was no urgency to get her in the van.

Overall the issue is that the Clintons and their flying monkeys lie. Decades of history confirmed every week. Any pneumonia in her lungs is a side effect of the chronic life limiting disease she us had diagnosed forr the last two plus years that she is lying about due to her own ambition.

Truth be damned. Grand children be damned. Bernie be damned and the nation be damned. It’s her right.

Having had experience with pneumonia, as have millions of others, there is no way you can have it and not be laid low for days. She does not have pneumonia. Where did she find this lying doctor?

Having had a case of "Walking Pneumonia" that I dismissed as a short-term "Bug" of some sort, I woke up one morning to wheezing and light headed. Fortunately, I was able to get on oral antibiotics immediately! As it was, I was totally resting and sleeping in a reclining chair for better than a week before I could start to breathe normally. The "Pneumonia" story MAY be partially true for Hillary but it's not the whole story!

Trust me, if it's true as you said originally that "I had pneumonia at 66 and missed one day of work", then your PSI (Pneumonia Severity Index) was extremely low. For them to discharge you, at your age, you were probably a Class I with a score < 70.

You can play with PSI scores Here

When my husband was 38 he came back from a business trip feeling miserable, we went to the Dr and he was diagnosed with pneumonia..... he was laid up in bed and home from work for a couple of weeks.....she definitely did not look like someone who had pneumonia. And DEFINITELY not someone who is 68 with pneumonia. I am in agreement with the Parkinson’s theory.

One more time: does anyone know why HRC left Chelsea’s pad? What was so urgent that she couldn’t stay there and rest all day?

Maybe Chelsea threw the whackjob out.

The Hillary health story’s only relevance is as serving up another point of evidence illustrating motivations...the perspective is that the only criteria of importance being that which serves ambition of a Clinton. Woe to any standing in their way.

All true except, she is nearly 70, not 60ish.

Like others, I have had walking pneumonia and you don’t just bounce back from it. I’m 60ish and the last bout was at 59. It about did me in. I was weak as a kitten for weeks and I am usually very strong.

Hillary has Parkinson’s or something similar. Very sick and very frail and very dangerous.

Your right about varying degrees of pneumonia. Even though the term “walking pneumonia” can be misleading. I’m going by the fact that she was so weak she had to be helped to walk then fainted. Then a few hours later she’s outside telling reporters what a nice day it was. If she had pneumonia bad enough that she was fainting, couldn’t walk from weakness, she would be in the hospital getting IV antibiotics.

I don’t believe she has pneumonia.

Rush also said how does someone lose 30 pounds and look years younger within the space of 1 and a half hours?
