“I have to say, from my perspective, I thought I was going to be fine,” she said. “I thought there wasn’t really any reason to make a big fuss about it. I should have taken time off earlier. I didn’t. Now I have and I’m back on the campaign trail.”
The democratic candidate said that her team knew the about the situation before her dramatic 9/11 collapse.
“This was an ailment that many people just power through, and that’s what I thought I would do as well,” said Clinton.
“I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to quit campaigning. I certainly didn’t want to miss the 9/11 memorial… I consider it a sacred moment.”
