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.

As others have pointed out on FR, it hurts our cause that some have edited the videos to make them weirder or funnier. The originals were quite strange enough and demanded explanation, but now there are all these bogus versions out there, making it easy for ppl like the WaPo clown to dismiss them with a wave of the hand.

Hillary’s possible bad health a conspiracy theory?

Didn’t Hillary herself use the excuse of ill health and being too incapacitated to appear in public as an excuse to avoid testifying to Congress about Benghazi for almost 6 months

So, Hillary was too infirm to climb eight steps WAYYYYY back in February and now she’s OK.

Lib logic never ceases to be stupid.

I pray that Trump does not mock Hillary for any health issues. Please, Donald, express sympathy and then state why she is not fit to be president. Mocking just gets an additional line into the anti-trump ad composed of his one sentence mocking of people that many have sympathy for. Without those statements Trump’s positions would have him winning in a landslide.

WaPo can tap dance all they want. The fact still remains that during a speech before a relatively friendly crowd we saw Hillary Clinton exhibit such obvious distress that one of her aides felt it necessary to rush to the podium and hug and calm her down. Then, we saw that same subordinate give orders to her Secret Service detail, indicating some authority within her entourage.
The Washington Post and the other big media may race to see which can bury their heads in the sand the quickest, but the genie is out of the bottle and has legs. Their refusal to acknowledge recent events will not silence the questions now being asked by the public.

The WP just cut Hillary’s off at the knees by showing the videos. Excellent.

Hillary pooping her pants that probably got worse over time, and her Depends baby diapers probably take care of it now.

The picture of her being dragged by the arms up the stairs was earlier this year. A recent picture.

The WaPo is dumber than your average propagandist.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Junk Science?
Methinks that the WaPo has the "Climate Change" and "Dying Hillary" playbooks mixed up!

Hillary's health is a serious 2016 election issue the MSM/DNC collusion would rather ignore. Drudge fills the gaping gap! Who will follow his lead?


2016: HILLARY CONQUERS THE STAIRS
2012: FALLS AT HOME, BLOOD CLOT
2011: FALLS BOARDING PLANE
2009: FALLS GOING TO WHITE HOUSE, BROKEN ELBOW

Her mouth pinch/purse in that video was sooo neuro.

She is not gonna make it. I am so sure she is seriously ill that I am on to wondering what they will do when she collapses at a debate or something.

It is so FUNNY to watch the MSA regurgitate Hillary’s statements, and act as it they are indisputable truths.

They truly believe their readers are fools.

I showed it to a Hillary supporter. Their response? They claimed to LOL at someone taking the time to post a video of Hillary just having fun with people.

I told him, sorry, this is over the top. All you have to to is look at the reporterette on the left and see her instinctive reaction before she caught her composure.

It’s beyond weird. There is something very serious going on there.

Wish the guy had used only original video footage though...


My sentiments exactly. It damages the credibility.

The MSM no longer controls the news. They can’t keep her mental instability a secret any more.

Yep. Either MS, PD or a brain lesion issue.

“then, incredibly she kind of returns and says “Okay, keep talking”

Maybe she has an earbud that gives her advice on what to do/say, and she just repeated what was coming in her left ear.

New liberal narrative. How ridiculous it is that the media would cover up Hillary’s failing health.
