Hannity Spent Entire Week Conducting ‘Investigation’ Into Clinton’s Health

Regular viewers of Sean Hannity’s show would understandably think that Hillary Clinton is in the midst of a serious health crisis.

The Fox News host spent has spent the entire week conducting an “investigation” into the Democratic nominee’s health, questioning whether her laugh appeared “seizure-esque” and drawing attention to a photograph of her slipping on a flight of stairs as proof of her instability.

According to Hannity, the mainstream media is intentionally avoiding the questions about Clinton’s health that have circulated on conservative sites since she was treated for a blood clot in her head in January 2013 after concussing her head in a fall.

He set to rectify that on Thursday by assembling a panel on medical experts including former 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson. “She's falling,” Hannity said. “You've got this sort of twitching thing that she does in front of reporters that was really bad. There's been a number of incidents and reports that she fell.”

1. Legitimate medical experts would have suggested that he spend some time investigating his own health

A loser. A pathetic loser. I have never seen a bigger loser. Many people have said that. Everyone's talking about it. Sad!

5. Which makes the JPR speculation on the same subject that much more disgraceful.

When you're sounding almost exactly like Sean fucking Hannity, there's a bit of soul searching that needs to be done.

in that they put up a thread that showed a spot on the back of Hillary's skirt that they said proved she was incontinent. Never mind that the picture was 20 years old and the spot was Photoshopped in, the OP lasted for over 48 hours with many replies before it was removed. I'm really not sure I've ever seen anything so low on a political message board populated by people who apparently at one time identified themselves as progressive.

I'm honestly glad I never got around to donating to them, if they'd REALLY sunk this far. >.>

13. I saw that thread too. One person stated they had done a google search of the image and

couldn't find the source. They didn't overtly question the legitimacy of the image, just stated they were going to do some more digging later that day.

Another poster stated that a variety of things could lead to an episode of incontinence like food poisoning, etc., and that it is something that could happen to anyone, suggesting perhaps a bit of charity was in order.

Those were the only two responses I saw in that entire thread that didn't jump on it like a pack of shrieking hyenas.
The rest responded with cries of "why is the mediaaaaaa hiding this" to calls for her "removal" to speculation that "maybe she'll keel over" before November.

It's a cesspool of blinding hate, and that's a damn shame, because it could have been something positive and useful. But it's not. It's a Hillary hate site. The numbers don't lie.
