Rudy Giuliani Claims Online Videos Show Hillary Clinton Is Mentally Ill

Source: Huffington Post


(file photo)

Donald Trump campaign adviser and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani asserted that online videos exist that raise serious questions about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s mental health.

(…)

The media, he claimed, “fails to point out several signs of illness by her. All you’ve got to do is go online.”

Pressed for evidence of this illness by host Shannon Bream, Giuliani doubled down on unnamed internet sources.

“Go online and put down ‘Hillary Clinton illness,’ take a look at the videos for yourself,” he insisted.

The Trump campaign's tinfoil hat, everything-you-see-online-is-true, general election pivot continues, by employing diagnosis via Youtube and, in the process, insulting and trivializing those suffering from mental illness.

"I know that there's probably not much you can do about this. But I'm finding it frustrating that when I go to YouTube and type "Trump" in the search box, I get lots of results that make him look sane, which I know he's not, and when I type "Hillary" I got lots of results that make her look like the devil, when I know she's actually a fine person. So, it seems like YouTube has been compromised by lots of Fox News videos (maybe by their new web team). Again, it's probably unlikely that anyone reading this can do anything about it. It was just so frustrating, and it concerns me greatly. Maybe it's temporary, and the Hillary team is on it. Or maybe it's just my account. Anyway, I had to mention it. I hope they get this worked out. I'm sure the Hillary team has people on it. Alright. Thank you. "

I see only pro trump and anti Hillary videos now and that does not reflect my history.

I hope DUers in this thread go to YouTube and see for themselves, and that someone can get this to the campaign asap to fight back.

We'll be hearing more exhortations to go look for videos because they know the results are hacked. I hope we can hack it back to a point where when I type in Hillary, I don't get "illness". To try and fight back I entered Hillary educated, experienced, fair, wise, smart, competent and trump arrogant, idiot, foolish racist, hateful, unprepared, inexperienced, taxes, bigot. One drop in the bucket.

Anybody here who can help?

They could only communicate one at a time and a few floors away. Unlike the police, who had real radios and got the message to evacuate. How do I know? My husband was a NYC firefighter and they complained about the radios for some time before 9/11.

It does not have to be proven or truthful.

It effectively serves their intent to undermine Hillary in some way by casting yet another line of doubt.

Clumsy as it may be, it is working to their benefit.

was when you were taking a shower, is this truth?

Because if so, that's a medical condition called bathophobia (fear of falling from a high place).

Maybe you have this; pantophobia (fear of everything )

Just maybe this one fits; spectrophobia (fear of looking in a mirror) because your a hypocrite and not a doctor

How am I doing Rudy, do you think I am a doctor?

My question is this, maybe you can answer it, your acolyte the fraudster, bigot, says there were thousands of people cheering when the twin towers came down, you were there--yes or no, did you see what he "thinks" he saw?

Eichenwald: Attacks on Clinton's health 'sign of desperation'
Right-wing conspiracy theorists have been speculating for weeks that Hillary Clinton is hiding serious health problems. Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald joins to discuss.

Sean Hannity: Apologize to Those with Epilepsy, or Burn in Hell
By Kurt Eichenwald On 8/15/16 at 11:56 AM
But now, Hannity and his ilk have gone too far with their recent lies about Hillary Clinton’s health, a conspiracy theory conservative media groups have seized upon with no regard for truth. They have used misrepresented photos, theories from quacks and other nonsense to back up their story line.

And then came a video of Clinton making goofy movements with her head when a reporter held a tape recorder very close to her face. Being pulled in different directions by multiple speakers at once, Clinton playfully acted like a bobblehead doll, smiling and then speaking after the joke was over.

Hannity and his lying pals shrieked: Clinton had a seizure! Right in front of the cameras! “Are there many seizures like that?” Hannity said. “This looks like violent, out of control movements on her part.”

I know this response to Sean Hannity is a little raw, but as someone with epilepsy, I hope my editors will let this slip through: Fuck you, Sean. Your willingness to deceive your viewers—to degrade those of us with epilepsy, to suggest something is a seizure when it looks nothing like one, to leave people dumber about this condition—is unforgivable.

In another she has this crazy idea to build a wall between the US and Mexico!

In yet another she claims she could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in NYC and get away with it.

If that ain't totally nuts, I don't know what is.

What's that? this is what Trump did? Well that's OK then - after all he is a man!
