Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth
The Washington Post ^ | August 8th, 2016 | By David Weigel

Posted on 08/08/2016 12:41:01 PM PDT by Mariner

The first week of August was a rough one for Donald Trump's campaign; by coincidence, it was also a busy one for Trump supporters, who see a media coverup protecting Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, the Trump campaign released a Web ad that mocked Clinton's admission that she "short-circuited" by giving a misleading answer about the investigation into her emails.

"She took a short-circuit in the brain," Trump said at a Saturday night rally. "She's got problems. Honestly, I don't think she's all there."

At the same time, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths tried to build the case that the Democratic nominee for president has serious health issues and only they had noticed. Clinton's age and health had been subject to parody by some conservative media, but the new speculation was completely serious.

None of the evidence, often shared (or sent to reporters) with the hashtag #HillarysHealth, held up. In every case, a Clinton moment that had been captured by the media was reinterpreted and wrenched out of context. The highest-profile #HillarysHealth discovery came at the American Mirror, an obscure conservative news site with what it packaged as a scoop — "SHOCK PHOTO" — but had been aggregated from Twitter.

I didn’t read the whole article at source.

Did they mention the flashlight (instead of the auto-injector diazepam)?

She appears to be abusing antidepressant and other such drugs-I wouldn’t be surprised to see her doing the Thorazine shuffle-other than having emotional health, drug abuse and maybe alcohol issues, she is just a lazy fat broad with a temperament unfit for any office...

A step forward. They’ve had to go beyond the first step of ignoring the story. Now they are trying to ridicule it, but that means that more folks are being exposed to the information. Once they have to move on to formal denials, the battle’s been won.

I laugh every time I see these agenda hysterical "defense" of what everyone knows is true.
Shrillary is one (physically) sick puppy.

Of the 20 or so books I have read in the last 4 months about Rotten Hillary, every one of them has different reports of serious diseases and injuries, and there has not been a single authoritative challenge to those reports, nor any legal challenge to them. Silence speaks volumes, and trumps bull####.

They do name the black Secret service agent, however.

If Trump were exhibiting the same problems, the Washington Post would be trumpeting that he was certainly medically unfit to be POTUS.


They already are, throughout the “mental” angle.

If this pans out like other Trump kerfuffles, come Thursday we’ll find out that Canckles does indeed have serious health issues.

WaPo is the whack a mole for the Hillary campaign.

They are the moles for the Trump campaign.

The comments are priceless. She and the WaPo are up to their necks, and there’s plenty of good sized stones.

Here’s one:

“Hillary’s 3 legged stool:
1. She can’t be expected to make hide nor hair of electro-gimcrackery
2. She can’t be expected to account for her mediocrity and failure-prone public service, because that’s hateful.
3. She can’t be expected to lose, because Trump’s crazy and stuff.”

Davy, before you start spewing your commie BS, go look at the YouTube video of your Queen at the Vegas rally last week. Something went on there when the animal rights crowd started acting up and it wasn’t a conspiracy. Your Queen’s facial expressions were not pretty. Get off your ass and do a little research bubba!

FDR was a long-time incumbent during a world war and in a time when candidates were not expected to be as accessible. Much more difficult task to hide serious illness today. This is an issue slipping out of control for them.

Yes I saw that one. It is very interesting. RNC or some surrogate (not Trump campaign) should be running something like this in an ad.

Hillary should release her full medical records after being examined by independent medical experts.

With the millions that the Clintons have stolen, Hillary could be in an ambulance on her way to emergency, and still find a "great doctor" who will give her a totally clean bill of health... for the right price.

If I were Trump I would announce that I would reveal my income tax returns If Hillary submits a serious medical report, signed and notarized, submitted under oath by both Hillary and the doctor(s) involved.

An independent medical facility would be lovely, but that will NEVER happen. The Clintons are masters at duplicity of all kinds.

Or the Clintons can sue the authors of the negative reports and we can enjoy the discovery/perjusry process...

Gee whiz...didn’t realize that February of 2016 is considered old (i.e. dated)

WaPo writer is just another dishonest fraud — he does nothing to settle any issues here, he just blows smoke.

“Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison” — is this the large black man who appears in a number of the scenes?? WaPo says this is who “rushed” to her side in Las Vegas, unless they are talking about one of the agents who approached AFTER the big guy.....

I can’t find anything about him online. It still doesn’t seem plausible that the huge guy is a SS agent, unless they have dropped all fitness standards. Can’t be sure from the WaPo article if Todd Madison is the big guy or not.

Thanks.

I've seen it before and it is a good compilation of a lot of “weirdness”.

Wish the guy had used only original video footage though. The video repeats, slow motions and pieces with added music in the background does not strengthen the argument. I had to find the original video of “we came, we saw, he died”. Pretty chilling and grizzly all on its own.

WaPo is a fraud, ofc, it’s totally irrelevant whether the photo is from Feb. or Aug. It is 2016 and it shows Hillary in dire need of physical assistance. It has not been addressed or explained by the media or the Hillary campaign.

Therefore, it is just as relevant now as it was in Feb.

That was the most damning of them all. She froze and the helper man says to her “keep talking” and then, incredibly she kind of returns and says “Okay, keep talking”.

So either that blood clot is/was much more than a blood clot, or she has MS or PD. Heck of a blood clot, more likely to have been a lesion.
