Fox News talking head Sean Hannity tried to goad his doctor guests into providing their “best guess” on whether Hillary Clinton is battling a secret health crisis on his show Tuesday night.
After an exhaustive accounting of Clinton’s public medical incidents and the weather conditions on Sunday, when she stumbled at a 9/11 memorial event, Hannity asked Dr. Kelly Powers and Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News correspondent, “Is this a neurological issue?”
“I think that a neurological work up is paramount,” Powers offered.
Later in the segment, Hannity tried again, asking, “Is there a chance she might have had a TIA, a stroke in her history? Is there a chance that there’s something else neurologically going on? For example, WikiLeaks has the research into some drugs that can be used for Parkinson’s. Is that a possibility? MS, a possibility?”
“You know, Sean, all of this is a possibility,” Powers said. “We don’t have her medical records, we don’t know, so it’s hard to speculate.”
Siegel jumped in to say there’s “something going on here,” perhaps “something underlying” that would make him want to examine Clinton’s medical records.
“If you had to guess, based on what you know, your best guess,” Hannity cut in.
“Well, I don’t guess,” Siegel replied. “I’m not going to guess.”
Hannity immediately ended the segment, shifting to the topics still ahead on the show.
