Giuliani: Press ignores signs of Clinton’s illness

Continuing with the narrative that Hillary Clinton is unfit to be president, Rudy Giuliani, an adviser with Donald Trump’s campaign, claimed Sunday there are videos online that show Clinton has an illness.

Giuliani said on “Fox News Sunday” that Clinton has “an entire media that constantly demonizes Donald Trump.”

The former New York City mayor went on to say the media fail to point out how she has not held a news conference in over 200 days and her “several signs of illness.”

The media “fails to point out several signs of illness by her; all you gotta do is go online,” Giuliani said, before being interrupted by host Shannon Bream, who pointed out that Clinton’s campaign has said there is no factual evidence to support those claims.

“Go online and put down ‘Hillary Clinton illness,’ take a look at the videos yourself,” Giuliani continued.

Giuliani’s comments are the latest from the Trump campaign questioning Clinton’s stamina and health. Last week, Trump told Sean Hannity of Fox News that Clinton “doesn’t really do that much. She’ll give a speech on a teleprompter, and then she’ll disappear. I don’t know if she goes home [and] goes to sleep. I think she sleeps.”

Clinton’s campaign has since called those claims “deranged conspiracy theories” and has recirculated a 2015 letter from internist Lisa Bardack that said Clinton was in good health.

Responding on Twitter to Giuliani on Sunday, Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon urged people to “Google Rudy and health and you can read about how he withdrew from ’00 Senate race against Clinton” (Giuliani withdrew from the race after learning he had prostate cancer.

Giuliani showed no signs of backing away on Monday, remarking on “Fox & Friends” that Clinton “looked tired” and “looked sick” at a news conference with police officers last week in New York City.

“First of all, she looked sick. Number two, she looked completely uncomfortable with saying anything pro-police,” Giuliani continued. And number three, it was a complete joke because she’s surrounded by four or five Democratic-appointed political police chiefs. We know — just go ask any cop right out there, we know who the police are supporting. They know she’s anti-cop. She’s the one who found the police officers in Baltimore guilty before the judge, African-American, found them not guilty.”

The Trump surrogate then said he would “give her one break here: It’s possible she doesn’t understand the presumption of innocence because she failed the bar exam the first time.”

“The liberal press will never tell you that,” Giuliani went on to say. “She failed the bar exam in Washington, D.C., and then she passed it in Arkansas.”
