Clinton: My pneumonia finally got GOP interested in women's health
By Jesse Byrnes
Hillary Clinton on Friday made light of her recent pneumonia diagnosis, joking that it finally got Republicans interested in women's health.
"As the world knows, I was a little under the weather recently," the Democratic presidential nominee said at the Black Women's Agenda's annual workshop and luncheon.
"The good news is, my pneumonia finally got some Republicans interested in women's health," she joked.
Clinton said her "instinct" was to press on campaigning despite her diagnosis.
Clinton returned to the campaign trail Thursday after taking a few days of rest.
She was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial service early on Sunday, and a video caught her stumbling and being helped into a van.
Her campaign later said that she had been suffering from pneumonia.
Clinton and GOP nominee Donald Trump this week also released letters from their doctors detailing their physical fitness for the presidency.
