Politico reports:
Former President Bill Clinton used his relatively brief address to rail against Trump, characterizing his White House as chaotic and incapable of accepting responsibility.
“At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center. Instead, it’s a storm center,” Clinton said. “There’s only chaos. Just one thing never changes — his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. The buck never stops there.”
Clinton went after Trump’s coronavirus response, pointing out the U.S. is the only industrialized country to triple its unemployment amid the crisis. He said Trump’s character — one that has him spending hours watching TV and attacking his enemies — is not one to combat a global emergency like the pandemic.
Bill Clinton on Trump: “If you want a president who defines the job as spending hours a day watching TV and zapping people on social media, he’s your man.” pic.twitter.com/V6nUEABMt6
