Newt Gingrich was on Sean Hannity’s radio program yesterday. He was speculating about Hillary Clinton’s health, and more specifically her cough, when he went into his own coughing fit. It sounded super gross and wet and phlegmy.
Hannity opened the show with a segment of Clinton coughing, then went back to rehash it later with Gingrich. During a spirited debate over the length of the coughing fit, Gingrich remarked to Hannity that he thought the coughs are “deeper” and “last much longer” than her husband’s when he had coughing attacks over acid reflux in the nineties.
Hannity, pointing to a persistent myth about Clinton’s health, clocked Clinton’s cough at precisely four minutes and twenty-two seconds and said, before turning to a concussion Clinton had several years ago, “I think we need to know if she’s healthy.”
I think we need to know if we aren’t all dying of the black lung! Here’s Newt Gingrich!
Enjoy the schadenfreude.
