If you’re old enough to remember when Bill Clinton was president, you would recall that he was a silver-tongued, energetic politician who could fire up his supporters and excite the Democrat base—that is, at least, until he met Monica Lewinsky.
There is little of that fire left in the two-term president, as he has for some time now seemed low-energy and not particularly passionate. On Sunday, however, he showed that he can still drop some all-time whoppers when the time is right.
Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president minimized the mental decline of Joe Biden and seemed to think it unimportant that the Democrats and the media perpetuated one of the all-time political hoaxes of our time by attempting to hide it from the public.
He seemed “on top” of things, Clinton said, somehow keeping a straight face. What planet is he living on?
While speaking with correspondent Tracy Smith, Clinton was asked about the bombshell book “Original Sin” written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, which claims that Biden’s aides covered up the politician’s declining cognitive and physical health during his ill-fated reelection campaign.
After Smith asked Clinton if he had ever had “a moment with [Biden]” where he felt that he was “unfit to run for president,” Clinton responded, “No. I thought he was a good president.”
“The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?” Clinton continued, referring to Biden’s age. “We’d had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking ‘he can’t do this anymore.’”
Clinton added: “He was always on top of his briefs.”
“He was always on top of his briefs.” Good to know.
Even the interviewer seemed taken aback by Clinton’s frankly ridiculous assertions:

'She's Still Lying'—Karoline Leavitt Smokes Jill Biden Over Involvement in Biden Coverup
Do the Clintons not own a television? You’d have to be living inside a box to not have seen the multiple examples of Biden’s diminished state, which we at RedState covered extensively while the lying mainstream media told us not to believe what we were seeing with our own eyes.
Incredibly, Tracy Smith gave Clinton a second chance to prove that he wasn’t either A) completely clueless, or B) that he wasn’t blatantly lying (again). He chose to double down:
Smith then pressed Clinton, asking again if he ever witnessed any cognitive decline in Biden, prompting Clinton to firmly reply “no.”
Sharing that he saw Biden “not very long ago,” Clinton said that he “thought he was in good shape.”
The former president said that he wouldn’t be reading “Original Sin” because Biden was no longer president. Perhaps the real reason is that he simply doesn’t want to know what is in it.
When I was younger, I begrudgingly respected Bill Clinton for a time because he wasn't as divisive and extreme as today's Democrats. He famously made holding respect for him much harder to do and got impeached in the process. Now, he’s once again making it virtually impossible to take him seriously when he delivers an asinine, gaslighting take like this.
Bill Clinton, who looks sicker than he ever has… says he never saw Biden’s mental decline.

We should be thrilled each and every day that Joe Biden is back home on the beach in Delaware and Kamala is wandering around somewhere in California.
