“Crooked Hillary Clinton is another all talk – no action ‘politician.’ Just like when she promised 200,000 jobs in Upstate New York & her efforts fell flat”, Trump wrote on Facebook, linking to a Washington Post article about Clinton’s ill-fated promise.
The photos were published by Reuters – and they show Hillary; aged 68, two years younger than Donald Trump, attempting to climb the stairs of a home.
The images were taken this February in SC, but did not emerge until Sunday, August 7th. As CNN’s Brian Stelter noted, right-wing Twitter users began circulating the images on Saturday night, mocking Clinton’s supposed frailty with no mention of when those photos were taken.
In conspiratorial corners of the conservative media, doubts about Clinton’s health and stamina have persisted ever since she had a health scare in 2012.
