Hillary Clinton almost fainted at a 9/11 memorial event on Sunday in NY, went to her daughter’s apartment to rest, and hours later, sent out a body double who was thinner and younger looking than her.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said the health of the candidates for the November 8 election was “an issue” following Clinton’s diagnosis.
According to a YouGov poll, first obtained by The Times, 46 per cent of registered voters did not buy the Clinton campaign’s statement that the Democrat left the service after 90 minutes due to a mild form of pneumonia, allergies and that she felt “overheated”.
“So, I felt fine, but I am now taking my doctor’s advice, which was given to me on Friday that I ignored, to just take some time to get over pneumonia completely”, Clinton said. “Yesterday I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial as a senator on 9/11 – it was just incredible personal to me”.
Neither candidate has yet released any detailed medical information although both have released letters from their doctors.
She added that she’ll be back on the campaign trail “in the next couple of days”.
Because on Thursday, Donald Trump’s physical specimen will be revealed on The Dr. Oz Show. State Department says she was dehydrated from a stomach virus. “I’m like you. I just see what I see – the coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also”, Trump said on Fox News.
“I would say rather than talking about how frail she is, we should be talking about how strong and tuff this woman is”, Mendoza said.
“It’s just the kind of thing that if it happens to you, and you’re a busy, active person, you keep moving forward”, she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a phone interview.
Earlier on Monday campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that additional details about Hillary Clinton’s health status would be made public “in the next few days” but that there was “no other undisclosed condition”.
