While Hillary Clinton is reportedly back on the campaign trail, her health remains a campaign issue. And the Powell email hack has only added fuel to the fire. One email exchange contained an interesting mention about her health issues.
Leeds, a business partner to former secretary of state Colin Powell, revealed in a March 14, 2015 exchange with Powell that Whitehouse, Rhode Island's junior senator, had made a comment about Clinton's ailing health. "Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps," Leeds wrote.
Neither Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse nor Jeffrey Leeds, a prominent Democratic financier in New York City, responded to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
The lack of a denial is itself revealing. It would have been easy to say that Hillary Clinton had no problem climbing the steps and that any rumors to the contrary are nonsense. The Clintons would have gone that route. But it seems as if some of their media allies are less interested in telling lies with a short lifespan on their behalf.
