Statement Debunks Right-Wing Claims That Democratic Nominee Is Gravely Ill
Hillary Clinton’s doctor issued a statement Sunday afternoon saying the Democratic presidential nominee was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, and left today’s 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero because she was overheated and dehydrated.Â
Dr. Lisa Bardack said Clinton was evaluated Friday because she’s been experiencing a cough due to allergies. At that time, Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule.Â
Clinton stumbled as she got into a van in her motorcade while leaving the ceremony on Sunday. Video of the incident whipped the alt-right into a frenzy as Donald Trump supporters claimed it validated their conspiracy theory that she is gravely ill.Â
