“I regret saying ‘half” – that was wrong”, Clinton said in a statement in which she also vowed to call out “bigotry” in Trump’s campaign.

Fox News reported that the Clinton campaign for weeks has been dealing with – and working to quell – speculation about her health, including a 2012 concussion, and yesterday’s incident is “sure to fuel that fire”. On Sunday, Clinton fell ill and had to leave a 9/11 memorial event early.
As she recovers at home in Chappaqua, New York, missing campaign events planned for this week on the West Coast, the campaigns of both Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump are under pressure to disclose more about the health of their nominees, beyond what they have so far.
Fallon said Monday, “There is no other undisclosed condition”. “The stereotypes of older women are active and Donald Trump is playing into them — unstable, fragile”. Bornstein’s letter, which he says he wrote in five minutes while a vehicle sent by Trump waited to take possession of it, says that Trump’s recent lab tests were “astonishingly excellent”, gushes that “his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary”, and ends by proclaiming that, “If elected Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that she has been experiencing a cough related to allergies and that an examination on Friday showed that she was suffering from pneumonia.
A Clinton aide says the Democratic presidential nominee will do little more than phone into a fundraiser in San Francisco on Monday night.
“She’s obviously political and she’s doing what Obama wants her to do”, Trump said of Janet L. Yellen, chair of the Federal Reserve. “I don’t know what’s going on”, Mr. Trump said on “Fox and Friends”. While her campaign remained silent for nearly 90 minutes – the reporters who travel with the candidate weren’t even notified that Clinton was leaving – an amateur video showing her appearing to stumble as she was helped into a black van by aides and Secret Service shot across social media.
Clinton canceled a campaign fundraising trip to California scheduled for Monday and Tuesday in order to rest.

“The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also”, he said. But the later emergence of video showing her wobbly, staggering and stumbling before being helped into her black van conjured up the kind of image, played over and over on television, that campaign strategists dread. It will be used by opponents to validate a months-long campaign of rumors and innuendo about the true state of Clinton’s health. The poll was conducted before a weekend in which Clinton floundered over a health issue and was criticized for labeling Trump voters “deplorables”.
