Clinton Has Coughing Fit During Labor Day Event in Cleveland

September 5, 2016

Hillary Clinton was overcome by a massive coughing fit during a campaign event in Cleveland on Monday.

As she took the microphone and wished the crowd a Happy Labor Day, Clinton started hacking away, and for more than four minutes, her voice was almost completely strained.

After taking a sip of water, she joked she was allergic to thinking about her opponent Donald Trump. She took a few seconds to compose herself and patted her chest, but she still was almost unable to get out a clear word for the next few minutes.

"You just heard the next vice president, didn't you?" Clinton gasped about running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.).

She also barely got out words of kindness for Rep. Marcia Fudge (D., Ohio), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio), and other lawmakers and labor leaders.
