WikiLeaks Deletes Poll Mocking Hillary’s Health After Pneumonia Announcement
WikiLeaks decided to do away with a tweet of theirs today which appeared to crack jokes about Hillary Clinton‘s health.
After Clinton’s early departure from today’s 9/11 memorial, it was revealed that she has been battling a case of pneumonia over the past three days. About an hour after the news broke, WikiLeaks decided to throw out a peculiar poll about Clinton’s health woes.

The tweet has now been deleted, but not before Buzzfeed’s Andrew Kaczynski preserved it with a screenshot. In what may be a response to criticism, the news leak organization put out this tweet to address their decision
We removed our earlier poll on what people perceive are the reasons for Clinton's medical issues as the possibilities are too speculative.
