For many social media users, the irony was inescapable.
Former President Bill Clinton, whose first term started with the bloodbath in Waco, Texas, and whose second term included impeachment on charges of lying under oath, took to social media on Sunday to weigh in on the leftist violence erupting in Minnesota.
And the responses it stirred were scathing.

Lets not forget what the sack of poo did to Elian Gonzalez, who he and his mother came here for a better life, only to be by GUNPOINT forced to return to Cuba..and why, simple, because Cubans are more likely to vote Republican they didnt want him to grow up and vote Republican
Also there was that Bundy Ranch guy they shot and killed. Dead silence from the left. There are no principles here; to the left it is only about whose ox is getting gored.
(Bill Clinton, whose AG ordered Waco assault that
killed children, fumes about Minneapolis ICE shootings)
But that’s OKAY with Godless Bill Clinton
He and Janet Reno were just MURDERING
some of those pesky Christians
(even if they did have a few mistaken ideas)
There’s something not right in Waco
I can’t tell you what it is
I can only say that I’ve never
wanted to escape a city so quickly
in my life. INSTANTLY upon crossing
the city line.
I never expected that but I HAD to get
out of there immediately. I DID stop
for gas ⛽⛽⛽ and immediately exited
North (I came in from the East off 45)
Didn’t you know
Conservative lives don’t matter.
Clinton also sent in troops to seize Elian Gonzales and force him back to Cuba to become a communist.
And Americans supported him. The left is very good at demonizing good people and justifying evil.
If Trump murdered a bunch of children by burning them to death I doubt the MSM would lapdog him... and Janet? She 'took responsibility' by just saying the words. And the corrupt press bought that too. Later 'the press' would ask for knee pads...
Bill Clinton is a national disgrace, along with his lying traitor wife!
Then-President Bill Clinton authorized then-Attorney General Janet Reno’s plan to use tear gas to end the 51-day standoff at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993.
Following the fire that killed 76 people, Clinton took full responsibility for the decision while emphasizing David Koresh’s accountability for the loss of life.
During the initial 51-day standoff (which began before he took office), Clinton followed a “wait-and-see” strategy, encouraging negotiation. On April 18, 1993, Attorney General Reno advised Clinton of the FBI’s plan to insert gas, citing concerns for the children inside. Clinton authorized her to proceed.
After the fire, Clinton expressed deep sadness, supported the law enforcement actions, and ordered a federal investigation, arguing that the cult members were responsible for the fire. While some criticized the use of force, the administration maintained that the Branch Davidians were responsible for the fire.
A 2000 Department of Justice report concluded that the Branch Davidians started the fire, though it confirmed the FBI used incendiary canisters.
Poor Willie. He forgot all the crap he pulled as President.
The responses to Bill Clinton’s comments on the situation in Minnesota were sharp and deeply divided along partisan lines, with the White House offering a severe counter-criticism of his remarks.
Former President Bill Clinton issued a statement on January 25-26, 2026, condemning the “horrible scenes” in Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents (ICE) shot and killed two U.S. citizens (identified in reports as Alex Pretti and Renee Good).
Clinton called the actions “unacceptable,” alleged that “people in charge” were lying about what happened, and warned that these actions threaten American democracy.
The “Scathing” Backlash
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson delivered a sharp rebuttal, accusing Clinton of sowing division and arguing that he should be urging local Minnesota Democratic leaders to cooperate with the federal government to remove criminals, rather than attacking law enforcement.
The Trump administration defended the federal agents, with officials calling the actions “self-defense” and accusing local leaders of creating “engineered chaos”.
The reaction was intense, with some outlets describing the moment as a “moral flashpoint” and reporting on the “scathing” nature of the rebuke from both Clinton and Obama against the administration.
Public reaction to Clinton on social media was highly charged, with some users criticizing Clinton for not addressing the legality of the situations, while others expressed fear for safety.
In summary, the administration’s response to Clinton’s comments was hostile and aimed at defending the federal crackdown in Minneapolis, making the overall discourse surrounding his comments extremely contentious.
And what about the Ruby ridge, where two children (one baby in arms) and Vicki Weaver were killed!
In comparison with Clinton, Trump cannot even come close!
He is due in court
In comparison to Clinton’s ghastly past, Trump cannot even come close!
Amen.
And the ives boys
Oh, he’s not “fuming”… he’s loving the distraction from being seen in all of those Epstein files…
That was actually Obama, not Clinton.
But that was forgotten even faster.
Ruby Ridge and Waco had at least congressional (toothless) hearings.
Obama nil.
Re “… And Americans supported him…”
Well, DEMOCRATS did… not Americans.
There’s a difference… those two words are mutually exclusive.
BC = Lonica Mooinski.
Jail him on Contempt.
How did that “Fascist”’s [the guy with the assault rife] career progress?
