Hillary Clinton made her first public speech since revealing that she
had pneumonia on Thursday and revealed how she spent the three days she
spent inside her home.
'I tried to power though, but even I had to admit that maybe a few days
rest would do me good,' she stated, explaining she used the time to
catch up with old friends over the phone. 'It turns out that having a
few days to myself was actually a gift.'
She also had time to reflect, Clinton said. 'The campaign trail doesn't really encourage reflection.'
'People like me, we're lucky,' she was saying, a segue into planned
remarks on her plans to provide affordable healthcare to every American.
But a man began yelling at her from the crowd. 'You suck!' he told the
Democratic presidential candidate at the Greensboro, North Carolina,
event.
It was an unideal start to a speech that Clinton was hoping would reset
her campaign after nearly a week of negative press following her claim
that 'half' of her opponent's supporters are a 'basket of deplorables'
and a health scare that forced her to disclose medical records from the
last year she tried to shut down conspiracy theorists.
Clinton told protesters inside he rally she just wanted 'to have a
conversation' and said other people could wave their arms with signs.
Outside protesters held up signs in support of Trump.
'I am deplorable,' said one.
At the event Clinton said she was going to close her campaign the way
she started her career - focusing on children and families - and
promised to come back to the state next week to 'listen' to them.
