Lou Dobbs Spins Clinton’s Secret Service Protection Into A Conspiracy Theory About Her Health

Posted by Richard 8pc on August 11, 2016 · Flag

Fox’s Lou Dobbs thinks something is odd about the Secret Service protecting Hillary Clinton from protesters. Or, at least, he wants you to think so.

As The Washington Post reported, “Secret Service agents surrounded Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after animal-rights protesters created a disturbance at a rally in Las Vegas on August 4.” The Post provided a video to go with it, which is below. In it, you can see Clinton joking, “Apparently these people are here to protest Trump because Trump and his kids [as hunters] have killed a lot of animals. So thank you for making that point.”

But Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, a Trump promoter, turned that unremarkable moment into a conspiracy theory that Clinton had had some kind of health problem that was being covered up.

Speaking to guest John Bolton, a Trump supporter, Dobbs said, “I want to show you a tape that’s now becoming very important for this presidential campaign. This is Hillary Clinton, August 4th in Las Vegas, and she has just had trouble there.” 

Dobbs failed to note that Clinton stopped talking because a bunch of animal rights activists, close to the stage, started to yell in protest.

That is obviously why the Secret Service rushed to the stage.  

Dobbs also cut out the end of the video where Clinton joked about about the protesters. Instead, he and Bolton began suggesting the video revealed a sinister cover-up about Clinton’s health.

Dobbs: I want to ask your opinion about what just happened because the man, ostensibly a Secret Service agent. We have found out subsequently that he's a medical doctor who was there apparently attending to the Democratic nominee.

Your reaction to what you saw and whether or not it suggests that we need to know far more about her medical condition?

Bolton: Well, I’ve never seen anything like it before. Presidential candidates are confronted with hecklers and demonstrators in their audiences all the time and quite properly we ask the Secret Service to do what’s necessary to protect them.

But I’ve never seen a stage manager come onto a stage like that, directing agents around. If he wasn’t Secret Service, who is he to tell these people, agents, clearly, to move away and let the speech continue? There’s something here we don’t know about and, as I say, I’ve never seen it before to protect Hillary Clinton from some hecklers. There is something here we are not being told.

Dobbs: As usual it seems quite a bit we're not being told. But hopefully we will find out.

Dobbs didn’t mention whether he or anyone on his show had done anything to try and find out what he thought was such important information. Apparently, digging for facts and truth is someone else’s job.

Watch it below, from the August 9 Lou Dobbs Tonight, on the Fox Business Network.

Is this the same medical agent who was with Bill Clinton after his dirty heart failed him?? https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/08/08/is-this-hillary-clintons-medical-handler/

@david Lindsay – Pretty much, yes. Most animal rights activists are harmless and merely expressing their beliefs, however, groups like the ALF (Animal Liberation Front) have committed terrorist acts in the past, both in the US and GBR. A family member worked for a US subsidiary of a company based in GBR, and most of the executives and senior staff had transferred to the US to avoid the daily hatred, violence, and death threats against them and their family members.

I wish there was a hole deep enough and filled with enough steaming dog turds, pairs of Staines’ stained underwear, rotting klansmen corpses and burning bloody coals for the likes of Dobbs and Bolton to get the end they so richly deserve.

Feel a bit better now.

Lou Dobbs is straying into Pat Robertson territory – showing signs of absolute old white man senility. And Bolton is no better. These guys are just embarrassing themselves, having no clue as to how ridiculous they look & sound.

Well, since Hillary is soon about to breathe her last breath, and has brain tumors up the kazoo, Donald Trump should be anxious for the debates so that he can show just how debilitated she is!
Right??

There’s a video circulating in the underbelly of the conservative bubble where Hillary stumbles and Secret Service agents steady her. The video was doctored so it loops to make it look like more than a minor loss of footing.

This is feeding wild conspiracy theories. A conservative just told me today Hillary had her medical records shredded. Lou Dobbs is just piggybacking on the hysteria. Seeing what he’s programmed to see.

And why the f—k bring it up to John Bolton like he can s—t out a medical degree on the spot?

As usual, there is no story here so FOX has to make one up to satisfy their idiot viewers.

Seriously America, how much longer must we suffer FOX and all the bullshit they spew?

Birther Lou and Talking Toilet Brush Bolton don’t want or need facts. Spinning pure shit into a conspiracy to defame Hillary is easier and much more fun.

I wonder too. Is the guy standing next to Hillary there to step in and take a bullet? I just read a good column from the Dallas Observer about the atmosphere of hate in Dallas prior to the JFK assassination. An atmosphere fomented by the Dallas Morning News. That atmosphere was partly to blame outside of Lee Harvey Oswald.
The writer of the column says he sees the same kind of atmosphere now at Trump rallies. The same vicious intolerance.
