I am not familiar with her, so I cannot really say for certain what I think about her. What I CAN say is if a minor fall puts you in the hospital for a couple of hours, maybe you're not fit to be in a seat of power.

A minor fall could put anyone in the hospital, if you hit something just right. She's unfit for other reasons.

I'd assume that would get reported differently. Something like "non-geriatric person fell and sustained head injury".

That's not the issue. A fall can hurt and I'd want a politician to make sure they're not concussed.

The issue is stuff like a few months ago where she was out of office for weeks/months and when she came back she tried to argue with reporters that it didn't happen, because she couldn't remember that for an extended period of time she was physically/mentally unable to work.

Even when she was "better" she has no clue what's happening around here.
