Hillary Clinton’s health back in the spotlight after 9/11 ceremony ‘collapse’
HILLARY Clinton’s abrupt departure from the September 11 memorial service in New York after suffering a “medical episode” has reignited the questions about her health first raised by Donald Trump and his supporters.
The Democratic presidential candidate left the commemoration ceremony on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday morning after just an hour-and-a-half. According to sources, she nearly fainted shortly before a moment of silence during the event at Ground Zero.
A witness told The New York Post the former secretary of state’s knees buckled and she lost a shoe as her aides led her away from the crowds.
Video soon surfaced showing the 68-year-old losing her balance as she waited with her team for a car near the World Trade Centre. Clinton’s security detail had to help her into the black van before she was driven to her daughter Chelsea’s Manhattan apartment nearby.
“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” spokesman Nick Merrill said after the incident. “During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment and is feeling much better.”
Earlier, Clinton was photographed in the crowd at Ground Zero alongside New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and US Senator Chuck Schumer. She was the only person wearing dark sunglasses during the overcast morning. The temperature was around 27C.
Clinton has been dogged by accusations of poor health for months now, with Republican candidate Donald Trump and his top surrogates claiming she does not have the “mental and physical stamina” to be president.
She brushed off concerns about her poor health during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, calling Trump’s accusations a “wacky strategy” against her.
Last week, Clinton suffered a two-minute coughing fit during a campaign event in Cleveland, Ohio which she blamed on seasonal allergies — and her rival.
“I’ve been talking so much. Every time I think about Trump I get allergic,” she joked in front of the crowd.
Trump seized the opportunity to cast doubt over Clinton’s health again, tweeting, “What’s up?”
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a close adviser to Trump, also raised the issue of Clinton’s physical and mental health last month. “I think Hillary’s tired ... she looks sick,” he told Fox News Sunday, accusing the mainstream media of hiding evidence and urging people to Google “Hillary Clinton illness” to find support for his theory.
There’s been no real evidence to support the claims about Clinton’s poor health so far — in fact, the former secretary of state’s doctor has repeatedly pronounced her health and fitness “excellent”. But there’s no denying Clinton’s “overheating” episode at such a high profile event couldn’t have come at a worse time for her campaign.
With just 58 days until election day, Sunday’s incident, combined with her coughing fit on Labor Day, is sure to undermine months of hard work from her campaign, which has been fighting to quell speculation about its candidate’s health.
“Those two things happening within six days of each other to a candidate who is 68 years old makes talk of Clinton’s health no longer just the stuff of conspiracy theorists,” writes Washington Post political reporter Chris Cillizza.
The campaign already released a summary of Clinton’s medical records and conditions last year, but Sunday’s collapse is sure to fuel the fire and could revive calls for both candidates to release updated detailed health records — something Trump has been pushing for.
The Republican candidate, who was also present during the 9/11 memorial ceremony, is yet to comment on Clinton’s most recent health scare.
