Much in the way “birthers” (Trump was among the most prominent) sought similar ends by questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship, the “healthers” are using junk science and conspiracy theories to argue that Clinton is suffering from a series of debilitating brain injuries.

“She is the first women from a major party running for president, so gender is always at play”, said Dianne Bystrom, the director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University.
Clinton also said that she was planning to draw “off my experiences from elementary school” in preparing for her debates with Trump.
“Lock her up!” the audience shouted. “There was nothing precluding State Department officials from having contact, in this respect, with Clinton Foundation staff”. Donald Trump himself said this was not a pivot.
Trump’s call for an independent investigation followed an announcement by the Clinton Foundation that it would no longer accept foreign donations should Clinton be elected president.
“I mean, that money – it should be given back”. In an email, the Trump campaign told supporters the speech was “still being modified”.
Indeed, Trump’s first television ad of the general election specifically singles out illegal immigrants with criminal records, claiming that, if Clinton is elected, “Illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay”.
Defending the foundation’s mission, Bill Clinton pointed to more than 11.5 million people in more than 70 countries who have gained access to HIV/AIDS drugs at a much lower cost and millions of American students who have healthier food and more physical education options because of the foundation.
“Over 10 million people around the world get important AIDS medication, lifesaving AIDS and HIV medication because of the foundation”, Mook said, adding that “the foundation has reduced the cost of malaria drugs by 90%”.
The Clinton Foundation disburses funds domestically and overseas, handing out some $218 million in 2014. In Clinton’s case, she said, that appears to include her sex.
Meanwhile, almost 15,000 emails Hillary Clinton sent from her private server while secretary of state were released, and raised fresh concerns about potential conflicts of interest between the foundation and her service as the top U.S. diplomat.
Monday’s appearance on Kimmel was Clinton’s third, making the Los Angeles-based show her most-visited late night show.
The emails were made public by a judge after the group filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
“There was nothing that we have seen that implied any kind of untoward relationship”.

Concerns were recently revived after emails surfaced showing that Band had contacted two senior State Department aides of Hillary Clinton, seeking their assistance in helping a donor – Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire Gilbert Chagoury – to secure a meeting with a USA diplomat in Lebanon. “Take my pulse while I’m talking to you, make sure I’m alive”, Clinton said to Kimmel of the health rumors. The Bahrain government had given the foundation between $50,000 to $100,000.
