Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested Americans are not acknowledging President Joe Biden’s accomplishments.

During an interview with MSNBC Tuesday night, Clinton told host Rachel Maddow, ā€œYou 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, ā€œAnd they didn’t 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 ā€œextraordinary accomplishments,ā€ Clinton explained, ā€œBut 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€

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.

ā€œHere in Washington, we’ve heard countless speeches, promises and white papers from experts — but today, we’re finally getting this done,ā€ Biden said.

He continued, ā€œThe bill I’m 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.

ā€œThis historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country,ā€ Biden said before signing the bill. ā€œAnd giving people in this nation, working people, middle-class folks, the people who built this country, a fighting chance.ā€
