Clinton was being asked about his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and the fall she took on Sunday in NY following a September 11 remembrance event.

Clinton abruptly left a September 11 commemoration ceremony Sunday after what her campaign said was an episode of “overheating”.
Mr. Clinton appeared in an interview Monday with CBS News’ Charlie Rose after his wife almost collapsed while trying to leave a 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday.
He made the pitch that Hillary Clinton should be the choice and, for her assembled supporters, he said that means a strong get out the vote effort in Philadelphia, where polls show she has enough support to help win the state.
In her first interview since taking ill during the 9/11tribute, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she was feeling much better and did not think the incident of her falling ill was going to be that big. You want to debate who’s more fit to be our president?
Clinton was responding to a question from anchor Anderson Cooper about criticism she received for not being transparent about her health.
She then went to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment and later returned to her home in Chappaqua, where campaign manager Robby Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper she was attended to by her doctor. “And I can tell you there’s nothing that happened yesterday that has changed that assessment at all”, Earnest said. Now, Clinton said, “I should serve”. The campaign had chalked her fainting up to “dehydration”, a claim Bill Clinton repeated to Charlie Rose.
“I understand, we’re a young country, we are a restless country”.
Clinton’s campaign also said it would release more information about her medical condition this week, which campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said would “put to rest any lingering concerns” about the 68-year-old’s health. The latest poll by Quinnipiac University found her with a five percentage-point edge over Mr Trump in Pennsylvania.
President Barack Obama took some time out of a speech Tuesday to rake members of the media over the coals for coverage of Donald Trump.
“If you’re chumming around with the head of the Ku Klux Klan or people that have that type, that’s deplorable”, he said, referring to David Duke, a white supremacist and vocal Trump supporter.

Obama earlier Tuesday criticized Trump’s kind words for Russian President Vladimir Putin. That is, if Hillary wins, I’d be both a former president and the spouse.
