Former president Bill Clinton told a blatant lie to the crowd at the DNC, claiming that Joe Biden ‘voluntarily’ gave up power despite being ousted by a Democrat coup.
Clinton even lauded Biden as a modern-day George Washington who “healed our sick.”
Yes, really.
“I do want to say one word about President Biden,” Clinton said toward the start of his speech in Chicago. “
“Remember, he had an improbable turn that made him president.”
“And we were in the middle of a pandemic and an economic crash. He healed our sick and put the rest of us back to work,” Clinton said.
“And he strengthened our alliances for peace and security, stood up for Ukraine, trying desperately to get a cease-fire in the Middle East.”

What?
Even during Biden’s speech, the crowd chanted Thank you, Joe’ as if he did the party a favor by stepping aside.
However, Biden was s forced out of the race by Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and other power brokers in the party.
But Clinton continued to lie:
Bill Clinton says Biden “voluntarily gave up political power.”

Every major speaker has a coded way of saying how relieved they are to be rid of Biden

Are the Democrats going to continue lecturing us on decency?
The guy who used an intern as a humidor is lecturing us about decency in the White House.
