Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants women to #raiseyourvoice, though she struggled to heed the slogan as she fought back a coughing fit during this week’s “The MAKERS Conference.”
The conference – inspired by Gloria Steinem, Lena Waithe and the “Time’s Up” movement – ran from Monday through Wednesday to celebrate all kinds of liberal feminist “MAKERS,” from outspoken actress Lena Dunham to Clinton, Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey, through panel discussions and other programs.
On Wednesday, Clinton streamed into the conference on a live feed from New York to give closing remarks, though she struggled to contain a massive coughing fit – a problem that plagued her throughout the 2016 presidential campaign.
“From Hollywood to politics to factory floors, everywhere women are telling the truth about their lives,” Clinton said in a clip from the address, posted to Twitter by InStyle. “And let’s make sure the world in never the same.
“You know. We have to be brave. We have to be brave enough to engage with people who disagree with us, brave enough to question and examine our own beliefs, brave enough to acknowledge that even those of us who have spent much of our life thinking about and fighting about gender issues – who even have first-hand experiences navigating male-dominated industries – may not always get it right,” she continued.
“I pledge to continue to speak out. I pledge to never give up …,” Clinton said as her voice trailed off and she began hacking into her hand.
“I will do everything I can …,” she tried again, taking a swig of water.
Clinton tried to play it off, but continued to choke back a cough, repeatedly stopping to clear her throat.
“To keep my voice, number one – to advance the rights and opportunities of women,” she said in a horse rasp as the audience laughed. “In the midst of this snowstorm … stay on the frontlines of democracy.”
The former first lady continued to sip water and even popped a lozenge in a failed attempt to quell the coughing fit. As she hacked away on a massive screen before the live audience at the Los Angeles event, conference organizers heaped praise on Clinton as “the definition of what it means to be a maker.”
“What a way to give Hillary Clinton the final word after three days of raising our voices. A women who has raised her voice her entire life,” the organizer said.
“Thank you,” Clinton mouthed, taking another sip from her mug.
Clinton’s repeated coughing fits and uncoordinated eye movements hampered her efforts to get out her message throughout the 2016 campaign, and drew questions from Donald Trump and others about her health.
Clinton repeatedly denied any serious health problems, despite the chronic coughing and an unexpected fainting spell during the 2016 service honoring those who died 2011 terrorist attacks.
I will stay on the front line ....cough
I am with you every step of the way ...cough
I will never give up ...cough
IF HE WINS WE ALL SWING FROM THE NOOSE ..cough cough cough
She’s choking on her he own lies. I hope they lock up this witch and her cohorts soon!
IMMEDIATE glaring error in the very first sentence: Kankles is NOT a failed presidential candidate, she is a TWICE FAILED presidential candidate.
After he lost his first try at office, she finally took his name. Such a phony.
She going to do a Hitler bunker thing, with Huma being her Eva Braun.
Ping.
:-)
She is truly pathetic and I just don’t get the women who hover around her with adoring eyes.
HRC isn’t the one suffering, it’s we who have to see and listen to her BS! Lock her up, she’s a crook!
Hillary has been obviously sick for some time. Her body would not be able to take the strain of the most powerful office in the world.
“We have to be brave enough to engage with people who disagree with us, brave enough to question and examine our own beliefs, brave enough to acknowledge that even those of us who have spent much of our life thinking about and fighting about gender issues – who even have first-hand experiences navigating male-dominated industries – may not always get it right,” she continued.”
How did this moment of self-reflection slip past?
hillary is patient zero for the plague that is coming...
Justice demands that she take her last cough in a solitary cell in a Fed SuperMax. What a criminal wretch.
many medicines have a side effect of dry mouth.
America, COUGH her up (and spit her out).
“The gift that keeps on giving...”
(You could also say the same thing about Anthony Weiner, snort...)
“Hey Bill, I think I have the circumference just about right... is this how Monica did it”?
No. “Fainted” is the coverup for her “seizure” while exiting the Sept 11 2016 campaign event. That’s the time when she had to be carried out and thrown in the side door of her ambulance by staff/secret service while the other secret service agents blocked camera views.
But, after that seizure in September, Hillary had only one (sometimes two) public events each week - lasting 30-45 minutes on stage maximum; and two or three private, closed door no-camera fund raisers where she was escorted on-stage, off-stage and back to the ambulance/car out of camera views.
She’s a sick old woman. Dying? Well, Wilson was in better health.
Eeeww! WTF was that?
“Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton...”
I never get tired of reading that!
