Conservative corners of the Internet were aflutter in August 2016 over claims that a Secret Service agent frequently spotted standing near Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention was actually a doctor carrying a Diazepam pen in case the presidential nominee had a seizure.
While these claims have proliferated quickly across social media, the evidence back them up is flimsy to non-existent.
But not too flimsy to prevent the ignition of credulous righty asses on fire.
Theories about a doctor being planted in the Secret Service to administer Diazepam in case Hillary Clinton has a seizure are based on mostly uninformed speculation about a few blurry photographs but no actual evidence.
Which is sufficient and par for the course for critical thinking impaired RW ass-hats.
If some sort of medical cover-up were taking place, it’s doubtful that the Secret Service doctor would wear a badge or pin identifying himself as a doctor, or that he would openly carry a Diazepam pen in plain sight.
Again, this image is too blurry to positively identify the object in the agent’s hand. However, a video of the agent using the above-pictured object shows that it is being used like a flashlight and not a Diazepam pen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4ey6XE775A
Fringe web sites such as the Ralph Retort the Conservative Treehouse and the Last Refuge have attempted to legitimize the “doctor angle” by asserting that Clinton’s attendant might have been identified as Dr. Oladotun Okunola, such as when The Ralph Retort offered a confusing headline — “REPORT: CLINTON’S HANDLER IDENTIFIED as Neurologist Dr. Oladotun Okunola?” — that purposefully misled readers by emphasizing the salacious (but untrue) words “CLINTON’S HANDLER IDENTIFIED” then returning to lower case before inserting a skeptical question mark.
A photographic comparison of Dr. Okunola and Clinton’s attendant, however, reveals that they bear little resemblance to each other and are in fact two separate people:
My 'ruling'? F*cking Pathetic.
