Republican operative Karl Rove said during a conference last week that Hillary Clinton may have brain damage, the
New York Post's Page Six reports.
According to Page Six, Rove was at a conference near Los Angeles on Thursday when he said, "Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that."
Rove repeated the claim multiple times, according to Page Six. A representative for Clinton told the Post, "Please assure Dr. Rove she’s 100 percent."
Rove was referring to a hospitalization of Clinton, then Secretary of State, in December 2012, after she had a fall in her Washington, D.C., home and suffered a concussion.
She was actually hospitalized for only three days after the fall to undergo tests. Doctors said there was a blood clot between her brain and skull.
