Tonight at the Democratic National Convention, former president Bill Clinton lied to the crowd saying that Joe Biden ‘voluntarily’ gave up power.
This has been a running theme at the convention. It was even part of Joe Biden’s speech with the crowd chanting ‘Thank you, Joe’ as if he did the party a favor by stepping aside out of the kindness of his heart and political horse sense.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone knows that Joe Biden was forced out of the race by Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and other power brokers in the party.
But that didn’t stop Bubba from pushing the lie. Watch:
Bill Clinton says Biden “voluntarily gave up political power.”

Everyone knows this is simply not true.
Bill Clinton: “We feel like a load is off our shoulders”
Every major speaker has a coded way of saying how relieved they are to be rid of Biden
