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?
A Few Good Men 1992
Simple. She did not want her medical records revealed for fear they may get leaked.
She can run but she can't hide.
The campaign needed that 20 second optic to set forth a 'hillary' smiling, waving, walking unassisted to the black van awaiting down the street.
“Instead, she lied. And got caught.”..............
She lied, again and again and again and again......etc.
“What else is new?”
“so that conservatives who have been raising questions about her health wouldn’t have ammunition”
There she goes again blaming the deplorables in the vast alt right wing.
Such a thing can only be verified by historians. In the meantime, we must win this election.
The way the pneumonia story evolved reminded me of the way the movie that caused the Benghazi attacks evolved.
All of the sudden it seemed to be fashionable that -illery’s Sunday morning collapse was the result of pneumonia — that was discovered Friday. That yarn was bad enough, but it mushroomed.
By yesterday, many of her staff had also had bouts with pneumonia that no one seemed to realize until — yesterday. The bouts were so commonplace that even Senator Schumer made known that he, too, was recovering from a round of pneumonia. Ironically, out of all of them, only one staffer apparently was ill enough to go to the hospital. Why, -illery was so un-ill that instead of heading to the hospital, she went over to Chelsea’s for a visit and played with the grandkids.
As the laughter in newsrooms and internet forums roared at that level of deception — this is a Clinton, after all — Team Clinton must have noticed that the pneumonia story didn’t seem to hold much credibility.
BJ to the rescue: BJ makes a statement that -illery has passed out before. No, not from booze! From dehydration. A lack of water. Then, supporting stories evolved from her staffers that -illery didn’t like water. She refused to drink water. [Maybe they should have tried adding a few ‘fingers’ of gin or vodka or whatever her favorite is, then].
Yep, dehydration. That was the new culprit.
As I posted in one of the related threads, with Team Clinton, I quote one of their ole departed standard bearers, Senator Ted Kennedy: “It is lie after lie after lie after lie.”
You know this is genuine.
Today’s Democrat Leftist cannot go two sentences without dropping the “F” bomb.
Even if we except the pneumonia story..then what does it say about hillary, and her staff, knowingly going around coughing on every one and shaking hands and touching people?
I had pneumonia at 66 and missed one day of work. I avoided others at my office and was okay two weeks later. Spent a little less time on outdoor physically taxing tasks such as climbing on roofs.
I heard she will change the nuke codes to “asdf” for easy memory ...
Hillary is willing to risk her own life to protect her secretive nature. She would rather go to her daughter’s apartment in a medical emergency than go somewhere that there might be a record of the truth.
This woman has serious psychological problems, almost certainly including paranoia. Why would any American trust her, when she does not trust anyone, not even those “close personal” staffers she claims to have kept her problems secret from?
Hillary! has got to be cursing our open society, what with cell phone cameras that capture the moment she is thrown like a sack of potatoes into her vanbulance and whisked off to Chelsea's apartment, to the "pearl"/speaker in her ear, to the video showing her throwing up into her glass of water. She and her staff are trying desperately to control every moment, shielding her precarious medical and neurological state from scrutiny, but every time she's in public something fails. The hand of God is in all this.
It was a seizure. A myoclonic one this time too boot. Yes, 90 minutes later she could appear in public if she had to, but she will be post-ictal for 24-48 hours and need to sleep.
What type? Bacterial, viral, mycoplasma, PCP, Aspiration?
Lol. You’re right.
But then again, you’re right an awful lot.
Hillary herself cannot afford to get out of the race. She has foreign mega donors to deal with who gave the Clinton Foundation millions upon millions to buy influence and future favors.
"Is this the leader you can trust with her finger on the nuclear trigger...?"
At some point in time even her campaign gets tired of constantly lying and looking stupid?
Such an ad would be awesome.
It would also be stone cold TRUTH.
Which is why the media wouldn’t allow it.
It would have to be non-youtube video passed by email.
It’s not panic, it’s resolve. They will run Hillary till she blows up; they think they will win the election, whether she is dead or alive. If she dies before the election, Cain gets a sympathy vote. They know that all they have to do is win this election, and America is GONE.
Bill Ayers becomes the new George Washington.
