Bill Clinton visibly trembles while stumping for Harris in Georgia day after blaming veep for Laken Rileys murder
Former President Bill Clinton had a bad couple of days on the stump as he tried to whip up support for Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia.The 42nd president, 78, held the microphone with noticeably trembling hands during an appearance in Columbus Monday, one day after he was first confused for President Biden by a McDonald’s worker during a fast food pit stop — and then cast blame on the Harris-Biden administration for not properly vetting the migrant accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley.“You got a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn’t you — they made an ad about it — a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant,” Clinton said Sunday during a fish fry in Fort Valley, referring to the February murder of Riley, 22.“Yeah, well, if they’d all been properly vetted that probably wouldn’t have happened,” the former president added.Riley’s accused murderer is Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant who has ties to the dangerous Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang and entered the US illegally in September 2022 — during Harris’ tenure as President Biden’s so-called “border czar” — along with his girlfriend and her 5-year-old son.Ibarra was arrested in El Paso, Texas, but was released on parole after fewer than 24 hours in custody due to lack of detention capacity and told to report to authorities in October of this year, ICE insiders told The Post in March.In August 2023, Ibarra was arrested by the NYPD and charged with riding a gas-powered moped with Franco’s son on the back without any head protection or restraint for the child.Ibarra was ultimately released and fled to Georgia to be with his brother Diego, who also is linked to TdA.The Harris campaign had tapped Clinton to help shore up support for the Democrat in the final three weeks before the election.
