Bill Clinton: Trump attacks on Hillary Clinton 'fact-free'

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday that Donald Trump's attacks on his wife, Hillary, are "fact-free" and that presidential candidates "shouldn't be able to insult (their) way to the White House."

Clinton was asked by CNN's Erin Burnett about Trump's claims that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was "perhaps the worst secretary of state in history."

The former president responded by praising his wife's work on Iran, nuclear proliferation and AIDS prevention and said that if Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination, "he'll have to sort of hone his criticisms a little more finely because the facts will be easy to marshal."

Clinton said he thought Trump and some of the other GOP candidates "believe that authenticity is created by making your campaign look as much like a reality TV show as possible."

I saw most of the interview and Bill dropped a snark bomb.

Rough quote, "Somebody in Bali can catch a cold and some republican will say,
See Obama is a poor leader."
