Story highlights Clinton appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show

She offered to let Kimmel take her pulse to show she's healthy

Los Angeles (CNN) Despite some Republicans raising questions about her health, Hillary Clinton cracked jokes on Monday about the conspiracy theories.

Clinton dismissed the claims that she's ill as "part of the wacky strategy" against her during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in Los Angeles.

"Back in October, the National Enquirer said I would be dead in six months. So with every breath I take I feel like I have a new lease on life," Clinton joked. "I don't know why they are saying this. I think on the one hand, it is part of the wacky strategy, just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you."

Clinton continued, "On the other hand, it just absolutely makes no sense. I don't go around questioning Donald Trump's health. As far as I can tell, he is a healthy as a horse."

Making light of the questions, Clinton asked Kimmel to take her pulse to show she's in good health -- "Oh my god, there is nothing there," the host joked -- and Kimmel asked Clinton to open a can of pickles to prove her strength, which the former secretary of state did.
