Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday expressed concern that President Trump's rhetoric reflects the same values as dictators around the world.
Clinton said on the late night show "Conan", that the worlds dictators all want to blur the line between fact and fiction.
"They figure if you dont know whats true and you dont think you can ever know that, pretty soon everybody will accept the fact that democracy is no longer possible," Clinton told host Conan O'Brien.
Are you talking about foreign countries now or here? OBrien asked. That chilled me to the bone for a second.
Clinton hesitated.
You just said a lot by saying nothing, O'Brien said.
We need to tell all these people that just make up stuff on the internet to knock it off, Clinton said. Were voting for people that are going to do jobs, these are jobs and as soon as somebody gets one of these jobs you find out pretty quick that the decisions they make have consequences.
Clinton sat for an interview with Conan OBrien on the anniversary of President Trump's win over Hillary Clinton. The late-night host asked Clinton if the country has changed since he was campaigning for president in 1992.
The country is much more diverse than it used to be and I think thats a good thing, Clinton said.
The thing thats not so good is were in the middle of, Clinton began, before an audience member shouted Trump!
Well there is that, Clinton said. Believe me, I know, especially today.
Clinton spoke nearly uninterrupted for the next five minutes about policies that restrict immigration and the spread of misinformation that he believes aided President Trump during last years elections.
Clinton criticized efforts to disenfranchise voters, such as immigrants, the elderly and the poor, saying a key reason theres no immigration reform is that representatives who oppose it worry expanding the electorate would hurt their political prospects.
Those who are unhappy with recent policies bear some responsibility if they dont vote in mid-term elections, Clinton added.
We need to just go out and start going up to people who are mad at us and say lets get over it, Clinton said. Weve got to live together, weve got to share this together, and if we work together well have better economics, well have better societies and well have a culture that we can all be a part of.
Conan had a rapist on his show. One who raped women and children.
Did Cohan have a good time?
I confess ignorance as to the Smoky Backroom guidelines.
It was my impression it was for things too hot for non-Freepers to access. Sorry I mentioned it.
Gee, maybe PDT could use an abandoned aspirin factory in the middle of the desert to bomb so he can take some of the pressure off himself.
Or maybe PDT should gain the intelligence of a WJC and when asked if he or an intern were ever alone in the WH, he was allowed to get away with a line like I am sure there was a guard or two around or it depends on what is is, when asked another question about his extra curricular activities.
Typical liberal argument, i.e., totally devoid of facts or proof. Name ONE policy that is "disenfranchising voters." Just one.
There AREN'T ANY! None. "Disenfranchisement" means preventing people from voting. The only time that is done is if you are NOT ELIGIBLE to vote.

Is this in the dictionary yet? This is something that needs more than just a single word for explaining what it is and how it works if it is to be ‘appreciated’ for what it is and how it works by those who observe it.
So the impeached,traitor who sold out the country to China speaks,must be between blow jobs and getting bored
Rapist.

These old presidents still crave the lime light.
You mean the fiction that there is a difference, rather than a mere distinction, between extremely careless and grossly negligent?"
There is a painting of BJ Clinton in the Attic of his Presidential Library, done over 40 years ago.
Mysteriously, it does NOT appear to have aged a day since it was painted. /s
