Once upon a time, in the wild world of politics, Hillary Clinton, the notorious former secretary of state and loser in the 2016 presidential race, decided to give President Joe Biden some “advice.” Now, given that Hillary’s track record with advice isn’t exactly stellar (just ask a few folks in Benghazi), one has to wonder what she was thinking when she spoke up.
Even Hillary Clinton Now Acknowledges Biden Has a 'Legitimate Issue' That Could Sink Him

Hillary Clinton's advice didn't age well, but her hypocrisy is aging beautifully.
The former secretary of state who lost her…

In an interview with the friendly faces at MSNBC, Hillary made the mistake of acknowledging that Biden’s age is a “legitimate issue,” but then she suggested that he should “lean into” it. Seriously, Hillary? Lean into the fact that you could put grandpa to shame with your forgetfulness? That’s like telling a kid with the flu to lean into the snot and the fever. No thanks!
What Hillary conveniently forgot to mention in her high and mighty “advice” is that President Trump, who’s only three years younger, is as sharp as a tack. Now, love him or hate him, you can’t deny that the guy can remember where he is and who he’s talking to. But old Joe? Not so much. And Hillary knows it. The fact that she had to admit to Biden’s liability, even on her favorite network, is a sign that his mental shortcomings are a big problem – for the Democrats and for the whole country.
But wait, there’s more! Hillary suggested that Biden should flaunt his “experience” and “human experience” (whatever that means) and maybe crack a few jokes about it. Let’s not forget that Biden’s actual experience includes an atrocious track record in the White House and abroad. And as for his “campaigning pretty vigorously,” well, let’s just say that depends on your definition of “vigorously.” It’s like saying a sloth is a “vigorous” climber. Yeah, right!
Then came the pièce de résistance. HRod (as we like to call her) implies that Biden should highlight his “experience not just in the political arena. It’s like the stuff of, you know, human experience.” Yeah, we don’t know what that’s supposed to mean either. And what about Biden’s character? Well, if character means shady deals and forgetfulness, then sure, lean into that, Joe!
But here’s the real kicker – Hillary gave this precious advice one day before the special counsel report was released, painting Biden as a doddering incompetent who can’t even remember when he served as vice president, or when his son, Beau, died. Ouch!
And if things couldn’t get any worse (spoiler alert: they can), Biden’s news conference on Thursday night was a hot mess. Not only did he mix up the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico (classic Joe), but he also showed the world that he’s about as coherent as a bag of cats when it comes to foreign affairs.
Meanwhile, Hillary’s own hypocrisy is aging more gracefully than a fine wine. She’s the same woman who has never leveled with the American public in over 30 years on the national stage. She’s the one who made a big show about being an international figure for women’s rights, yet her treatment of the women in her own life leaves much to be desired. And let’s not even get started on her time as secretary of state – hello, Benghazi!
