Pat Robertson Promotes Debunked Hillary Health Conspiracy Theory

Today on “The 700 Club(link is external),” Pat Robertson seized on a story(link is external) promoted by the Drudge Report alleging that Hillary Clinton has a secret handler who guides her through health crises.

The evidence? That the man supposedly carries a Diazepam pen and once rushed to the stage during a campaign rally to help Clinton breathe.

In reality, this suspicious man is actually a Secret Service agent(link is external) who went up on stage(link is external) to help Clinton not because of a health crisis but because an animal rights activist protesting the event had gone over the stage barrier(link is external). The supposed Diazepam pen he was allegedly holding was actually a flashlight(link is external).

Robertson, citing the Drudge Report, wondered(link is external) if “the heavy-set black gentleman” was Clinton’s “whisperer” and claimed that the man is not affiliated with the Secret Service.

“People are saying, ‘Who is this man?’” he continued(link is external). “There are some who are saying, ‘Maybe he’s a doctor who is with her and trying to help her along.’”

This isn’t the first time that Robertson has raised bogus questions about Clinton’s health(link is external).
