On Wednesday Bill Clinton filled in for his wife and campaigned in Las Vegas. Even though his efforts were to help his recuperating wife, he caused her another political headache by saying she was suffering from the flu not pneumonia.
Bill Clinton said he was “glad” to sub in for the recuperating Democratic nominee and that she is “feeling great.”He also said:
It’s a crazy time we live in where people think there’s something unusual about getting the flu. Last time I checked, millions of people we’re getting it every year.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
One of his spokesman quickly stated “he clearly meant pneumonia” in an attempt to offset any downfall his comment may of caused.
This is not the first time Bill Clinton has made remarks about his wife’s health this week that have caught attention. According to CNN, the former president also told CBS’ Charlie Rose that his wife has “rarely” but occasionally gotten “severely dehydrated” over the years.
“Rarely, on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she got severely dehydrated, and she’s worked like a demon, as you know, as secretary of state, as a senator, and in the years since.
