Billy looks like he's not long for this world!
In an in-depth interview with Charlie Rose that aired Monday night, former president Bill Clinton addressed concerns over Hillary Clintons diagnosis of pneumonia, saying there was nothing more to know about the candidates health and even questioning the fitness of her opponent.
I have talked to her doctor, who is extremely competent and who has been in touch with all the people who help her, you know, with all other things over the years, Clinton told Rose on Monday night.
There is just nothing there. All of her health indicators are good. Shes very strong. Shes exercised a lot. And unlike me, she sleeps well at night. I mean she sleeps long hours, or by my standards anyway.
Theres nothing more to know, Clinton said.
Concerns arose on Sunday after a video surfaced of Clinton appearing unsteady and nearly collapsing after abruptly leaving a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in New York. Earlier last week, the Democratic hopeful had to halt a speech due to a coughing fit her campaign later attributed to allergies.
On Sunday, the candidates doctor released a statement saying she had been diagnosed with pneumonia and that she would be canceling a planned trip to California.
The former president played down the health concerns, while also using the airtime to take a swipe at Republican candidate Donald Trump who has yet to release detailed health records.
They think everything is a campaign issue, he told Rose. I think her lifestyle and her underlying indicators from blood pressure to amount of exercise, to everything else means its almost that she is in better health than her opponent. But we dont know because he hasnt disclosed.
During the sit-down, Clinton also talked about how he views the election this year and the advice he gave his wife on how to win.
I said you know, this is the time when there is a lot of resentment and small wounds. And youre not a demagogue, Clinton said.
You just have always been the grown up in every room. Thats why the people who work with you are so loyal to you, because you always make something good happen. And you are going to have to take a big gamble that you can win as yourself.
