Piers Morgan, the outspoken British broadcaster, set social media alight with a scorching attack on former US president Bill Clinton.
The reason? Clinton’s unwavering support for Joe Biden’s health and fitness for office.
PIERS MORGAN VS BILL CLINTON
Morgan, never shy of a headline, called Clinton “delusional” and even questioned the former president’s own cognitive state.
“This is either staggering delusion, wilful blindness, or President Clinton himself is now suffering from serious cognitive decline,” Morgan thundered on X.
The drama kicked off after Clinton appeared on CBS Sunday Morning to promote his new memoir, The First Gentleman, according to Express.
CLINTON STANDS FOR BIDEN
During the interview, Clinton dismissed claims that Biden was in decline while in the White House.
When pressed about allegations from the explosive book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, Clinton stood firm.
“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 said.
He added, “I had never seen him and walked away thinking he can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his brief”.
SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS
But Piers Morgan wasn’t buying it. He shared a Fox News article and unleashed his trademark fury. The internet, as expected, erupted.
Some supported Morgan’s blunt honesty. Others accused him of stirring the pot for clicks.
Clinton, for his part, brushed off the controversy. He insisted he’d never witnessed any signs of cognitive decline in Biden.
“I didn’t know anything about any of this. And I haven’t read the book. I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape,” Clinton said.
DEMANDING COMPLETE HONESTY
He even questioned the motives behind the book’s release, suggesting it was “a way to blame him for the fact that [Donald] Trump was reelected”.
As the Democratic Party faces scrutiny for allegedly hiding Biden’s condition, the world watches.
Clinton’s defence may have backfired, fuelling more questions than answers. Morgan’s words echo across continents: “Is it delusion, or just politics as usual?”
One thing’s certain. In the world of power and politics, the battle for truth is never dull. As Morgan said, “The public deserves honesty, not fairy tales.”
