Bill Clinton: Trump has poured 'poison' down 'America's throat'
By Judy Kurtz - 06/27/18 10:03 AM EDT
Former President Clinton is suggesting that President Trump is at least partly to blame for a lack of civility in politics, saying he has poured “poison" down "America’s throat.”
“It started off calling Mexicans rapists and murderers,” Clinton said during a Tuesday interview with “The Daily Show’s” Trevor Noah, referring to a line from then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 2015 speech announcing his White House run.
During that speech, Trump said Mexico was "not sending their best."
"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump said at the time.
“A lot of poison has been poured down America’s throat since that 2016 campaign started,” Clinton said when asked about calls for civility after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was booted from a Virginia restaurant over the weekend by its co-owner over her role in the Trump administration.
Sanders tweeted from her official account after the incident, saying she had “politely left” the Lexington, Va., restaurant, the Red Hen.
“I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so,” she said.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) later raised eyebrows by calling on her supporters to go head-to-head with Trump officials in restaurants, department stores and gas stations.
“It’s hard not to pour poison down people’s throat and not have some of it come back up and bubble up,” Clinton said on Tuesday.

This joke writes itself....
Who “poured” what down whose throat?
If anyone knows about forcing things down people’s throat...
Not going to touch this one. Nope.
Monica got the old poison treatment, eh Bill?
Monica got the old poison treatment, eh Bill?
No kidding.
The surprise is that people in AR finally wised up to the Clintons.
Monica had something down her throat bill. What flavor was it ? Poison ???
Oh, gawd! It won't go away! Was this a stand up routine?
A rapist complains about others being labeled as rapists? Am I missing something here?
These leftist are so precious.
Geez, was I expecting class from a Clinton?
Look who’s talkin’ about poring down throats!!!
One man’s ‘poison’ is another mans’...
Bill Clinton employs Alinsky. Yet again.
Keep lying, Bill.
so then, the liberal line is that, Trump and his people instigated any events which happen such as Sarah Sanders getting accosted, Pam Bondi in Florida, Kristen Neilsen(sp?) getting accosted, it’s all the victims fault, because Trump has stirred things up. Really????
So then, these leftists have no self control, they have no ability to stop themselves from confrontations?
It’s not poison, it’s the antidote.
You mean like on a blue dress?
Boy!! did he ever open himself up to the comeback on those choice words!
If I recall correctly, wasn’t it his wife who called Trump supporters “deplorables”?
