Bill Clinton Defends Hillary’s Middle-Income Ties

Former President Bill Clinton defended his wife Hillary Clinton’s ties to middle-income Americans, saying “she’s not out of touch” and is an advocate for policies that promote social mobility.

Speaking at a conference in Denver, Clinton told moderator David Gregory of NBC’s “Meet the Press” today that making an issue of his family’s rise to wealth is “the wrong debate.” The public should be talking about how to address the “demise of the American dream,” he said.
