In recent days, Trump’s campaign has been ramping up efforts to cast doubt on Clinton’s physical fitness, insinuating that the Democratic presidential nominee is seriously ill.

During an interview with MSNBC on Thursday, Pierson went as far as to diagnose Clinton with a neurological condition – without any medical knowledge or evidence indicating such.
According to Pierson, Clinton’s condition stems from a concussion she suffered nearly two year ago.
Conway said she didn’t appreciate Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson claiming on the network just hours earlier that Clinton had brain damage.
However, an official statement from Clinton’s doctor says she is “fit to serve”.
While Pierson laughably stumbled over her words in the face of facts, she still remained steadfast in spouting Clinton’s unfounded health troubles. Pierson said, alluding to a number of debunked reports about Clinton’s failing health.
Pierson said that Trump was not referring to Clinton’s actual health records, but rather “specific observations just like some of the clips that you’ve shown”.
CNN reported that Pierson said Obama started the war in Afghanistan, although it began in 2001 under President George W. Bush.

Welker cut off Pierson and told her that Trump is “clearly trying to spin up some of that speculation” about Clinton’s health. “It is extremely important to note that Hillary Clinton has taken a lot of time off the campaign trail”. I’ve been on the campaign trail with her, I’m one of the reporters covering her. “She hasn’t taken a lot of time off the campaign trail”.
