Unfair attack on Clinton

So there have been videos about Hillary Clinton supposedly having serious medical problems, seizures, weird movements, etc. One of the most if not the most prevalent clips is taken from this:

I say “taken from” because the videos I’ve seen never include what fully happened and never show it from this angle. That is a key point. Because basically the people putting together these videos are making false claims based on clips from videos out of context. Personally I do not condone nor ascribe to such conduct.

If you don’t like a person for political reasons, that’s one thing. But to deliberately take their actions out of context for the sake of making a damaging argument against them – that’s taking the low road. In my philosophy, whenever you take the low road you’ve lost.

So clearly what happened in the video is that Ms. Clinton is speaking to a group of reporters. She made a comment about one thing and, as she finished it, a barrage of 3 or 4 female reporters to her right all asked her questions at the same time, as reporters are wont to do.

From Ms. Clinton’s viewpoint it was kind of like being hit by a wall of questions, and she made a funny gesture with her head and rolled her eyes. She was being playful and innocent.

In another clip she is shown standing alongside Bill Clinton on a stage when quite obviously something must have appeared above where they were standing, either in the air or on a screen, and they both looked up to witness it, and again Ms. Clinton made a kind of playful expression.

Far from being an indication of illness, its an indication of someone who is intelligent enough to be playful.
