It was the stumble seen around the world.
A video showing Hillary Clinton wobbling, then legs buckling, as she was held up by a Secret Service agent Sunday, breathed new life into conspiracy theories surrounding her health.
Donald Trump and his surrogates have feverishly pushed claims that Clinton “lacks physical stamina,” “looks sick,” “takes naps,” and according to Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson, suffers from “dysphasia,” a speech disorder sometimes caused by brain disease or damage.
These accusations were made in the absence of any actual incident involving Clinton’s health. Then, Clinton critics latched onto a on September 5th coughing fit, which lasted approximately two minutes, as proof that Hillary was enfeebled by a mystery illness. Imagine their glee upon seeing a video of Clinton struggling to maintain balance, an incident her doctor has attributed to pneumonia and dehydration.
