Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested Americans are not acknowledging President Joe Bidenās accomplishments.
During an interview with MSNBC Tuesday night, Clinton told host Rachel Maddow, āYou know, democracy is messy. You know, a lot of people got, oh I think, kind of frustrated looking at the messy process of legislation.ā
She added, āAnd they didnāt really appreciate that, within a year, the Biden administration has passed two major pieces of legislation through both the House and the Senate.ā
Calling them āextraordinary accomplishments,ā Clinton explained, āBut because of the way we are getting our information today, and because of the lack of gatekeepers and people who have a historic perspective who can help us understand what we are seeing, there is a real vulnerability in the electorate to the kind of demagoguery and disinformation that, unfortunately, the other side is really good at exploiting.ā
Watch the video below:
Last week, Biden signed the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill into law. It includes funding for roads and bridges, transit and rail, broadband, electric vehicles, and more.
āHere in Washington, weāve heard countless speeches, promises and white papers from experts ā but today, weāre finally getting this done,ā Biden said.
He continued, āThe bill Iām about to sign into law is proof that despite the cynics, Democrats and Republicans can come together and deliver results.ā
In March, the president signed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. It sent direct payments to Americans of up to $1,400 and extended enhanced unemployment benefits until early September.
āThis historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country,ā Biden said before signing the bill. āAnd giving people in this nation, working people, middle-class folks, the people who built this country, a fighting chance.ā
