Bill Clinton convention speech overshadowed by 'Me Too' criticism

Bill Clinton hoped his tearing into President Trump and call to unity would be the highlight of his Democratic convention speech. Instead, it was his very action of speaking at the convention at all that was the most noteworthy as scrutiny of his behavior toward women again bubbled to the surface of political conversation on Tuesday. 

"Donald Trump says we’re leading the world," the former president said in his speech. "Well, we are the only major industrial economy to have its unemployment rate triple. At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center. Instead, it’s a storm center. There’s only chaos. Just one thing never changes — his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. The buck never stops there.”

Clinton took a dig a Trump's frequent use of Twitter.

"Now you have to decide whether to renew his contract or hire someone else. If you want a president who defines the job as spending hours a day watching TV and zapping people on social media, he's your man," he said.
