Hillary Clinton proved she’s in tip-top physical shape in a Wednesday night appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in a joking rebuke to Donald Trump supporters who have pushed the right-wing conspiracy theory that she’s in poor health.
Asked about the rumors, which Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani hyped on Fox News over the weekend, the former secretary of state said it “has become one of their themes.”
“Take my pulse while I’m talking to you,” Clinton cracked, extending her arm across Kimmel’s desk.
“Oh my God, there’s nothing there!” Kimmel joked as he took her pulse.
Clinton recounted how in October, the National Enquirer tabloid predicted she would be dead in six months. “So with every breath I take, I feel like it’s a new lease on life,” she said.
She also said fueling health rumors is part of the Trump campaign’s “wacky strategy” but it also “just actually makes no sense.”
“I don’t go around questioning Donald Trump’s health. As far as I can tell, he’s as healthy as a horse,” Clinton said.
To round out the segment, Kimmel produced a jar of pickles, which he challenged the former New York senator to open.
