Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is ready with conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health, wondering in a tweet whether the Democratic nominee would be “on her meds or off her meds.”

Members of Trump’s campaign, including former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, and Trump’s Republican allies have pushed conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health. And Trump himself has questioned Clinton’s stamina.
