fit and recovered + President Obama + WASHINGTON : As if it was not already weird and wacky , the US Presidential election campaign descended into bizarre terrain on Tuesday with tattle about the use of a body double by Hillary Clinton , conjecture about Russia poisoningconflict.attack.naher , and more leaked emails , one of which had former Secretary of State Colin Powell calling Donald Trump a ' ' national disgrace . ' ' Loch Ness monster , Yeti , and UFOs have nothing on this election.- due to a bout of pneumonia , it was subsequently disclosed - has triggered a tsunami of speculation about her physical health , propelled mostly by right - wing internet conspiracy theorists operating on a nudge and wink from their iconTheir latest conjecture is that Hillary Clinton used a body double - following her collapse at the 9/11 memorial ostensibly due to heat exhaustion caused by pneumonia - to show that all is well . Various theories are being advanced to make the case from the video and photos subsequent to the fainting episode : She looks slimmer and is wearing dark glasses to hide her eyes as she emerges from her daughter 's apartment building just hours after she collapsed ; she has longer hair and smoother skin ; she is not surrounded by Secret Service agents as she usually is because agents are meant only for candidates ; and no doctor or aide with her despite her having collapsed only hours earlier .

But such is the conspiratorial atmosphere advanced by the hardline Republican laity that anything goes in the ' ' Hate Hillary ' ' cause - from attributing cancer and Parkinson 's to her to accusing her of being in cahoots with foreign forces . On its part , the Clinton campaign has fueled this rumor - industry with lack of transparency , candor , and clarity , going back to secrecy , obfuscation , and delinquency on the issue of private mail servers and the Clinton Foundation On Tuesday , the liberal media , which has taunted the Trump brigade as wackos and conspiracy theorists , went the same route by airing the views of a Nigeria - born doctor who speculated that Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned , possibly by the Trump - Putin combine .
