Hillary Clinton’s health on Sunday, after which her campaign finally admitted she was diagnosed with pneumonia, shows that it’s “nonsense” to pretend that Clinton respects the press, according to Donald Trump’s campaign manager.
“I think she had a very bad 48 hours,” campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC. “One is that she’s still not transparent, she still just won’t open herself up to the press.”
“This nonsense that she respects what all of you do by having this phony press availability on the plane last week, and then the moment that you really need to be with her, 90 minutes of radio silence, took the entire day to get … the public a diagnosis that apparently she received days earlier,” Conway said.
Clinton collapsed and appeared physically incapacitated after attending a 9/11 ceremony in New York. Her campaign first said “overheated,” but later in the day, it said she had walking pneumonia and was dehydrated.
Clinton has since canceled her campaign events in California.
Conway said the surprise diagnosis from Clinton’s camp was a major distraction from the 9/11 remembrance events that took place throughout the country on Sunday.
“It ended up as the number one story yesterday … Hillary Clinton falling in front of that van, and then ultimately her pneumonia diagnosis,” she said. “The number one story yesterday should have been 9/11.”
