Hillary Health Scandal: Clinton Does Damage Control On 'The Tonight Show'

Hillary Clinton's ongoing health issues could ruin her chances of becoming president, prompting the Democratic Nominee to scramble for some positive media coverage.

On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 68-year-old attempted to quell any doubts about her well being, insisting that her collapse last week was nothing to worry about.

"There's nothing like a little rest when your doctor tells you to and you don't do it," she told Fallon, who jokingly protected himself from Clinton with a surgical mask.

"I'm used to just kind of getting up and powering through it, and that's what I thought I could do," Clinton continued. "Turned out I couldn't, so I took a few days off and actually I think it was good."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Clinton fainted at the 9/11 memorial this weekend, and was forced to leave after she was filmed falling over herself, her knees giving out.

Her camp released a statement shortly after, saying: "Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen. During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter's apartment, and is feeling much better."

Now, according to reporter David Shuster, operatives in the Democratic Party plan to gather together to discuss potential candidate replacements.

As reported, political insiders believe Clinton has already suffered three strokes and has extensive liver damage.
