ABC’s Jonathan Karl Dings Hillary Clinton For ‘Borderline Deception’ About Health

ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl called out the Hillary Clinton campaign Monday for downplaying the extent of her health problems Sunday after she collapsed during a 9/11 memorial service.

Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos brought up a new ABC poll that found that Clinton and Donald Trump‘s trustworthiness numbers have sunk to new lows. “She didn’t help herself yesterday,” Stephanopoulos noted.

“Not at all, George,” Karl agreed. “I mean, this is her biggest vulnerability as a presidential candidate, that voters simply do not trust her. Those are remarkable numbers for both candidates: you have roughly a third saying they trust her, two-thirds suggesting not.

“If you cannot trust her about how she feels, what can you trust her about?” he asked. “This was not simply a lack of transparency yesterday, this was borderline deception. They said simply that she was overheated, they said that she was feeling fine, and then you find out she had been diagnosed with pneumonia. Not a good day on the transparency front.”
