Bill Clinton Says Hillary Has ‘the Flu,’ but His Spokesman Immediately Walks That Back

While campaigning in Las Vegas for his wife Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton said that Hillary Clinton has “the flu,” but his spokesman immediately walked back his statement.

"It's a crazy time we live in, you know, when people think there's something unusual about getting the flu," the former president said. “Last time, I checked, millions of people were getting it every year.”

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has said that she was recently diagnosed with pneumonia, a disclosure they made after she was seen struggling to walk as she left a memorial service marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Prior to the conclusion of Clinton’s remarks, a spokesperson for the former president said he misspoke.

Bill Clinton said he spoke with Hillary Clinton and that she is “feeling great.”
