CBS Evening News edited a remark Bill Clinton made in an interview in which he first said his wife has dehydration episodes “frequently,” after which he corrected himself.
Asked by interviewer Charlie Rose if Hillary Clinton’s recent health scare indicated something “more serious” than dehydration, the former president said, “Frequently — well, not frequently — rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her where she got severely dehydrated.”
The portion of his answer where he said “frequently” was edited out of the CBS Evening News broadcast, but the same interview was played the next day on CBS’s “This Morning” and it was left in.
The discrepancy was noted by TMZ.
Clinton’s comment on his wife’s health come after the Democratic nominee fell ill this weekend and seen nearly collapsing on Sunday at a Sept. 11 memorial event in New York.
A spokesperson for CBS did not return a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.
