On MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports on Tuesday, corrrespondent Kristen Welker highlighted how Hillary Clinton dismissed questions about her health: “She said, ‘Look, it's seasonal allergies, it's nothing else.’ She was asked if that would fuel Republican conspiracy theories and she sort of downplayed that, brushed that aside.” Moments later, host Andrea Mitchell chimed in: “What she said today about her cough and the problems she's been having – we were all having problems frankly on that plane, it was pretty dry – is that she's doubled her antihistamine, so she's hoping not to the have those problems again today.”
