Former President Bill Clinton insisted in an interview Sunday that former President Joe Biden was in "good form" and that he "never" saw his ability to serve decline.
Clinton was asked about "Original Sin: The Decline of President Biden," and his disastrous choices by "CBS Sunday Moyd" host Tracy Smith, while promoting his new book "The First Fentleman," and commented by Alex Thompson of Axios and Jake Tapper of Cnn.
Thompson and Tapper wrote in "The Original Sin" that the Biden administration has been working to cover up his signs of public and misleading political allies.

"Did you think he's not suitable for president when you're with him?" Smith asked.
"No. I think he's a good president," Clinton said. "The only problem he has to deal with is that they won't do the job until they were 86? We gave a few long speeches. I've never met him and thought he couldn't do it.
"You've never seen any cognitive decline?" Smith asked.
Clinton replied: "I know nothing about it. And I haven't read this book yet. I met President Biden a while ago and I thought he was in good condition. But the book didn't register with me because I've never seen him like that."
When Clinton announced why he didn't read the book, he said Biden was no longer president and he already thought he had done "good". Clinton also claimed that the book was “used as a way to blame him because (Donald) Trump was elected.”

Although Clinton highly praised Biden's presidency in the interview, he and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were one of the earliest Democratic figures just hours after Biden left the game.
Since the publication of "Original Crime", Democrats and mainstream media have been re-criticized for allegedly downplaying or covering up Biden's shortcomings until his first debate with President Trump last year.
