Who said he would hire the best people?
Who claimed Mexico would pay for the US Border Wall?
Who spent four years claiming the election was stolen, but could not prove it in court?
Who accuses other nations of releasing prisoners in the USA and did just that this week?
Who says our broken immigration system is letting criminals in, but his blanket pardon released violent Jan 6 prisoners?
His lack of action is a disconnect between leadership and the everyday struggles of Americans facing skyrocketing grocery bills.
This references a specific political moment involving Bill Clinton's administration, potentially involving something like the 1994 Crime Bill or issues related to criminal justice reform. Clinton's policies were later critiqued, particularly around mass incarceration. The GOP pointed fingers at his administration for certain contradictions.
