Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called out Donald Trump for his full-figured physique and love of fast food Tuesday while criticizing what he sees as a double standard in the media's coverage of the presidential candidates' health.

"You folks have magnified the problem," Reid told reporters regarding Hillary Clinton's recent bout with pneumonia. "She's off the campaign trail for a few days. She probably needed the rest anyway."

Hillary's pneumonia went viral — in an Internet sense — after she had to leave a 9/11 memorial ceremony early and had to be helped into a van before departing. The incident fed pre-existing theories, based on rumor and conjecture, that the former secretary of State was battling an undisclosed illness. Reid pointed out pneumonia is curable and wondered why the media wasn't asking more questions about Trump's medical records.

"Take a look at this character that's running for president," Reid said of Trump. "He complains about her health? What does he do? He's 70-years-old. He's not slim and trim. He brags about eating fast food every day. Look at his health a little bit."

Reid said Trump's medical records are "non-existent." Trump did release a letter — which the Clinton team has mocked — from his personal physician last December. Dr. Harold Bornstein wrote, "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." He has since admitted to NBC that he wouldn't normally use such broad language to describe a patient's health.

"You have all been unfair to Hillary," Reid continued. "She submitted a multiple-page report from a doctor — a good doctor — talking about what medicine she's on."
