VIDEO: Hillary Clinton faints, rushed away from 9/11 memorial
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was hurriedly aided out of the 9/11 memorial service in New York on Sunday.
She was rushed to her daughter’s home after “feeling overheated”. It took her aides 90 minutes to tell the world what went wrong with the US Election 2016 front runner.
Journalists were blocked from following Clinton as aides drove her to Chelsea’s (her daughter’s) house.
A video show Clinton, 68, unable to stand without help as a woman held her close. She could have fallen on her face as the woman tried to help her into a waiting van.
Reports say she lost a shoe as she was helped into the van.

Clinton reportedly made it to the sidewalk unaided but appeared to faint while waiting for the car.
“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” spokesman Nick Merrill said.
“During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment and is feeling much better.”
Reports say the weather wasn’t that cozy. But the Clinton medical episode, according to WashingtonPost’s Chris Cillizza “will catapult questions about her health from the ranks of conservative conspiracy theory to perhaps the central debate in the presidential race over the coming days.”
Clinton’s New York medical episode comes within a week of her Labour Day rally coughing saga.
