Well, Bill didn’t see anything…
During a recent CBS Sunday Morning interview, correspondent Tracy Smith asked former President Bill Clinton about Jake Tapper’s book Original Sin and whether or not he had personally seen any evidence of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
The book “talks about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?” Smith asked.
“No,” the 78-year-old Clinton said. “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 said. “And we did several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.”
Pressed again, Clinton added, “No. So, I didn’t know anything about any of this. And I haven’t read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn’t register with me ’cause I never saw him that way.”
Clinton said he “didn’t want to” read the book because Biden is “not president anymore, and I think he did a good job. And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was re-elected.”
