Man faints at Clinton rally in Bridegton
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Hillary Clinton’s town hall forum in Bridgeton ended abruptly this afternoon after a man in the crowd fainted.
Clinton was in the middle of answering questions when audience members began drawing attention to the man. From the stage, Clinton asked any doctors in attendance to see to the man. None did, but Pattonville paramedics - who were near-by - quickly came to his aid.
The man, who seemed conscious but disoriented, was taken away on a stretcher. Clinton, rather than continue fielding questions, ended the forum in favor of an extended autograph session.
Notables at the event included Mayor Francis Slay and State Rep. Connie Johnson, a former John Edwards supporter who apparently has signed onto the Clinton camp.
Are we sure he didn’t just fall asleep?
