Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine pushed back against the health conspiracy theoriesevied against her by Donald Trump and various right-wing media sites, again questioning the Republican nominee’s own claim to physical well-being.

In an interview with ABC’s David Muir set to air Tuesday night, Kaine dismisses the notion that Clinton’s health is failing as “idiotic” — a claim her Republican challenger and his surrogates have repeatedly made on the campaign trail in recent months.


"The day he tweeted out, 'Hillary didn’t come to Mexico, does she have the energy?' She was here in Ohio talking to the American Legion,” Kaine said, referring to Trump’s repeated claims that Clinton lacks the “stamina” or “energy” to be commander-in-chief.

Clinton took the criticism a step further, simultaneously defending her health record and questioning her opponent’s.

"What we have released is commensurate with what others who have been nominated for president have release. And we followed closely what the format was, we put out the information,” she said. “We now have the doctor who signed his letter basically saying he did it in five minutes, because the 'limousine was waiting.' It is devoid of information.”

Trump’s physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, proclaimed in a 2015 letter that the real estate mogul would be “the healthiest individual elected to the presidency. Bornstein later told NBC News that he “rushed” through the assessment in under five minutes as Trump’s limo awaited outside.
