Sorry, Trump Supporters, Clinton Didn’t Infect a Little Girl, She Had Non-Contagious Pneumonia
Rabid Right Wing Insanity Claimed Clinton on 9/11 Knowingly Gave a Little Girl Pneumonia
On 9/11 Hillary Clinton, overheated, dehydrated, and reportedly near collapse, left the downtown Manhattan memorial service to recuperate at her daughter Chelsea’s apartment. What the news media described as a “medical event” led the rabid right wing to insanely attack the Democratic presidential nominee, with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones even actually screaming with joy.
Clinton, as we all now know, was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday, so deserves credit, not condemnation for attending the 9/11 memorial event.
In fact, Wednesday afternoon Clinton’s physician released a report (full statement) announcing Clinton “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States,”
Clinton’s doctor says her physical exam was “normal,†she’s in “excellent mental condition†https://t.co/PItTvHUEmf https://t.co/gLylZFXXyB

It also says she had “mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.”
Note the “non-contagious” part of the diagnosis.
Now, these tweets from a few of Trump’s supporters:
