Hillary Clinton Suffers Uncontrollable Coughing Fit During Campaign Speech

Hillary Clinton had an uncontrollable coughing fit during a speech before the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines Monday.

The fit lasted for about a minute, and was bad enough that Clinton had to pause to take several gulps of water before it subsided. “You do talk a lot in this campaign,” Clinton said, and she continued with speech in a very strained voice.

Clinton also suffered a more controlled coughing fit during her House Benghazi testimony in 2015. Conservative commentator Matt Drudge trolled the Democratic frontrunner by declaring it “the biggest revelation” of the hearing.
