…but it’s not quite what it appears. According to CNN’s Brian Stelter, it’s a photo from February 24 in South Carolina and Hillary had just slipped when the photo was taken:

This photo is from February 24. She slipped. But it's suddenly getting a lot of right wing media attention today https://t.co/zdV4zAhKkl

Pro-Trump accounts shared the out-of-context pic last night. Then @American_Mirror wrote a "SHOCK PHOTO" blog post https://t.co/45dHzODb3C

Now it's the lead on @DRUDGE_REPORT "PHOTOS REVEALED."

Huh? "Clinton slips" pics were published in February. Proof: https://t.co/jCcI6lhW1w

Alright, so using this photo today is not entirely fair, but both candidates should release all of their medical records.
