Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said Tuesday that the reason why Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton got embroiled in her email scandal was because years of attacks from Republicans have given her a mild case of posttraumatic stress disorder.

“She wanted the private (email) server. Why? Because she has been attacked and abused relentlessly for decades. So, she is a little gun-shy. She has maybe a little PTSD from it,” Moore said. He made the comments during a conference call hosted by the Howard Dean-founded group Democracy for America intended to rouse millennial voters to get out and vote for Clinton.
