'Daily Show' Exposes Fox News' Double Standards After Trump's Wobbly Moment

Fox News personalities did some serious pearl-clutching about Hillary Clintons health during her 2016 presidential campaign. But amid concerns over Donald Trump s fitness for office, theres been no such uproar on the conservative network.

The Daily Show put that double standard on full display in a video using Fox News footage and commentary from the time, but with footage of Trumps recent garbage truck stumble  spliced in. 

We need to see the records of anyone thats around the age of 70, Marc Siegel, a Fox News medical analyst, said in one of the clips, as the edit from The Daily Show shows Trump flailing while opening the door of a garbage truck earlier this week.

In August 2016, Fox News host Sean Hannity speculated on air with guests that Clinton, who was 68 at the time, might have brain damage. He noted that she had stumbled earlier in the year and questioned what he said were weird pauses in her speech.

Clinton ended up releasing her medical records  in September 2016 after she had a health scare due to pneumonia. 

This week, Hannity called Trumps entry into the garbage truck an iconic, epic moment .

Trump, 78, has declined to share any detailed health records, despite mounting public concern about his cognitive state. He has given increasingly rambling and incoherent speeches and has behaved erratically  on the campaign trail, prompting hundreds of health care professionals  to sound the alarm about his condition and fitness for office.
