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?
Well that’s “IS” for ya.
I have no doubt she has a neurological issue, what, I don’t know, but I have never seen anyone go down from lack of O2 like Hillary did... You go down because you aren’t getting enough O2 because of pulmonary or respiratory issues, you might wobble, but you don’t have those tremors or muscle spasms you see her having before she goes down.. at least no one I have witnessed go down from that... Same thing about heat stroke/heat exhaustion... which that in and of itself, on a day with 70s weather and a steady breeze is virtually impossible.
It is possible that Hillary felt hot or whatever from symptoms of her illnesses or drugs, so I won’t completely discount she could have felt warm or uncomfortable and felt the need to leave, and clearly given she went down like a ton of bricks clearly something was wrong.
However, to just say she passed out from the heat, or imply that initially... only to change your story after the video got out to its pneumonia just further proves she and her handlers are lying, and its their first instinct to lie, they just can’t seem to tell the truth no matter what.
So even if you are willing to take the pneumonia story as the real culprit you still have a serious of initial lies and deceptions first.
This episode in and of itself, while damaging, would not be so horribly damaging to her if her surrogates hadn’t spent the last month/month and half telling us all how incredibly healthy she is.. and that she is the picture of health and move on nothing to see here. Because they spent so much time telling everyone she’s fine... and healthy as a horse, to have her go down like this just blows it up all the more.
She is clearly the most inept and incompetent candidate ever put forth by a major party in the last 50 years at least.... Even Obama who was completely unqualified and an abject idiot, knew how to play his role during his campaign.
Between her “Basket of Deplorables” comment on Saturday, and her going down/lying about her health on Sunday, she assured herself a major defeat. She was going to lose bad IMHO anyway, but either of those incidents independently killed any shot... together, she’s beyond done.
They are trying their best to put the cat back in the bag over her collapse, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Thanks, Theo. Why am I not surprised?
and it’s not ‘walking pneumonia’ in any case.
it’s ‘collapsing pneumonia’ at best.
Does ‘Dear Leader’ share a fashion consultant with Kim Jong-un?
There 'tis. What more proof do you want? Yep, she hates water, hates it. Then she gets dehydrated, because, you know if you don't drink water....you get dehydrated. She's brilliant, like, but when it comes to water, she's dumb. How someone so brilliant can be so dumb....well, I just don't know, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
In the meantime, in just the last two weeks I’ve seen her with bottled water and glasses of water as often as I haven’t.
How dare they force water on her on national TV, video, and still pics!
Hillary’s medical crash at the memorial event was a withdrawal symptom???
Auto-pump like device failure (diabetes treatment equipment).
Madonna has a better voice. :>)
If we accept the obvious truth that the Clinton campaign is not sing entirely truthful with this Pneumonia story, what does Hillary have that is so bad that Pneumonia is the acceptable cover story?
Is there anybody, anywhere who thinks that Hillary is suddenly telling the truth?
Hillary and Obama jailed the Truth about 8 years ago and still have it in solitary confinement.

I don’t think she went to her daughter’s.I think she is still in the hospital.
Rotflol!
Probably!
” Moral of the story: when you have an illness, spend your time fighting it and don’t try to tough it through, because it’s just going to get worse if you do.”
Big Media is ecstatic over her “powering through” this.
All use the exact same scripted words.
LOL! :)
Agree. No reason to believe this latest lie.
She is a Clinton, everything is a lie.
