Matt Drudge Emerges on Twitter to Personally Tear Into Hillary’s Health

Despite the power that comes with being the creator of the Drudge Report, Matt Drudge is known as a reclusive figure who rarely makes public appearances, and then usually offers only brief direct political commentary.

Nonetheless, Drudge has decided to insert himself into the news cycle over the past several days in order to rip into Hillary Clinton over her alleged health concerns.

For the past several weeks, Drudge Report has played a crucial role in the spreading of unsavory rumors that Clinton is mentally ill and/or about to kick the bucket. The news aggregation site appeared to do this again on Thursday when they headlined a conspiracy theory pushed by InfoWars that insists that Clinton was wearing an earpiece during last night’s forum with Matt Lauer.

As for the man himself, Drudge has made several rare appearances on Twitter to give the story his personal touch. Drudge’s tweets don’t usually last for very long before deletion, but we have prepared screenshots of his tweets:

Note that aside from the “earpiece” story, Drudge also made references to Clinton’s recent coughing fit, her Thursday press conference, and the criticism that has been leveled at Matt Lauer for his interview of Hillary last night.
