Hillary Clinton lost two presidential elections. She went into hiding, it seems, after losing to Trump in 2016. But, from time to time, she reappears. Clinton used to bring in big bucks for speaking at major events.
But these days, it seems the best she can do is a Zoom interview for satellite radio.
She spoke on “Mornings with Zerlina” about the upcoming presidential election. The former Secretary of State spoke about a top concern voters have about Joe Biden. It seems as if Clinton was trying to defend old Joe. But what she said may have done more harm than good.
From Fox News:
Hillary Clinton says people need to “accept the reality” that President Biden is old…“Somebody the other day said to me… ‘Well, but, you know, Joe Biden’s old.’ I said, ‘You know what, Joe Biden is old. Let’s go ahead and accept the reality. Joe Biden is old.’ So we have a contest between one candidate who’s old, but who’s done an effective job and doesn’t threaten our democracy. And we have another candidate who is old, barely makes sense when he talks, is dangerous, and threatens our democracy,” Clinton said.
While seeming to defend Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton admitted that his advanced age is a major concern for voters. She said, “Let’s go ahead and accept the reality.” But, the reality is, Biden’s age is more than just a superficial concern.
Biden has shown evidence that his age has caught up with him. He struggles to walk, speak, or remember important details. Biden usually looks tired or irritated while appearing in public. And many wonder why Democrats refuse to give him a cognitive exam—when Trump took two while in office.
Clinton seems to be saying that voters shouldn’t bother with worrying about Biden’s age. But she went on to speak in such a way, that she might have inadvertently hurt Biden.
She said that the election will come down to two old men. One has “done an effective job and doesn’t threaten our democracy,” she said. The other, according to Clinton, “is old, barely makes sense when he talks, is dangerous, and threatens our democracy.”
Based on those descriptions, which one is Joe Biden? Clinton might have unironically thrown Biden under the bus. Because, many critics will say, he is the old man who “barely makes sense,” is dangerously leaving the border open, and has threatened our democracy by attacking his political opponents and prosecuting his chief rival.
Clinton went on to say that every voter should want “to maintain freedom, and the rule of law, and protection for people’s fundamental rights.” Unfortunately for Clinton, those things have all been undermined during Biden’s administration, not Trump’s.
If Hillary was trying to stump for Donald, she couldn’t have done a better job.
Key Takeaways:
- Hillary Clinton admitted that Joe Biden’s age is a big problem for voters.
- This comes as critics accuse Biden of age-related cognitive decline.
- Clinton went on to compare Biden to Trump but ended up unironically exposing Biden’s weaknesses and failures.
