Top Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, apparently withdrew as headline speakers at the National Diversity Conference after The Daily Wire revealed the conference is run by a man accused of stealing millions from a diversity nonprofit.
The National Diversity Conference took place April 7-10 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, after selling non-refundable tickets with Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Obama cabinet secretary Julian Castro as the main draws. The conference had been selling photo ops with Oprah for $50,500 for one person or $550,000 for eight people, according to its <a href="https://nationaldiversityconference.com/2025/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/sponsorship.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sponsorship materials</a>.
But as the event rolled around, the only keynote speaker listed on the conference website was far-left professor Cornel West. Others apparently pulled out after The Daily Wire’s March 27 story exposing the conference as a scam, with the website quietly <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250330081515/https://nationaldiversityconference.com/2025/speakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removing</a> <a href="https://nationaldiversityconference.com/2025/speakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">names</a> without noting the change.
For years, marketing materials gave the impression that the National Diversity Conference was a program of a longstanding nonprofit called the National Diversity Council (NDC). The Council <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txsb.480568/gov.uscourts.txsb.480568.1.0.pdf?utm_source=www.courtwatch.news&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=118-give-us-43-minutes-your-honor&amp;_bhlid=cc0105e9be5906e96ab277c8a3c8624ccecd8545" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed for bankruptcy</a> on March 17 after its board said in a lawsuit that its founder, R. Dennis Kennedy, “improperly paid himself millions of dollars from NDC’s donor funds.”
The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txsd.1911128/gov.uscourts.txsd.1911128.25.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suit</a> said Kennedy “paid himself a grossly excessive salary” while using the nonprofit as a front for his for-profit diversity consulting business called Diversity &amp; Leadership Inc., intertwining the two in imperceptible ways so that costs went to the nonprofit and revenue-generating activities went to his company.
A tax form on the conference’s website indicates that it is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250327093145/https://nationaldiversityconference.com/2025/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/w9.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">run by</a> Diversity &amp; Leadership Inc. According to Texas business filings, the company’s corporate registration was revoked in March 2023 for failure to pay taxes, but was reinstated two months later.
The nonprofit’s 2020 <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/711037612/202202179349300715/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IRS disclosure</a> said Kennedy was paid $450,000 for 10 hours of work per week. In 2022, at the height of corporations’ DEI hype, Kennedy, chief executive officer Ángeles Valenciano, and chief financial officer Jason deGroot also “unilaterally decided that they were owed almost $3 million in ‘back pay,’ and then paid themselves more than $1 million of donor funds,” the lawsuit said.

As board members became suspicious and determined that there was no basis for the payments, Kennedy systematically moved the nonprofit’s trademarks and web domains into his own name, and essentially created a fake organization with the same name that would trick people into paying him directly, the suit indicated.
In 2021 and 2022, Kennedy filed for 350 trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, registering NDC’s name, <a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn97537006&amp;docId=FTK20220809105529&amp;linkId=10#docIndex=9&amp;page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initials</a>, and key program names, such as the National Diversity Awards, to himself personally. In some cases, Kennedy allegedly waited for notification that the NDC’s trademarks were expiring, and instead of renewing them for the organization, he re-trademarked them in his own name without telling the board.
<a href="https://nationaldiversitycouncil.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NationalDiversityCouncil.org</a> now leads to a website of an organization that purports to be the National Diversity Council, listing Kennedy as its founder and with no board. Dawn Hooper, an accountant who is managing the bankruptcy for NDC’s board, told The Daily Wire that the site is “not operated by the National Diversity Council.”
The suit said the trio’s conduct “gives rise to criminal liability…at a minimum, a third degree felony.”
In addition to the for-profit D&amp;L Inc., Kennedy ran two Texas-based nonprofits, the Texas Diversity Council and the California Diversity Council, which were used to double-dip on salaries for the trio of executives and siphon off consulting revenue from NDC, while using NDC staff and resources for all the groups’ expenses, the lawsuit said.
According to tax disclosures, in 2021 Kennedy was paid $787,000 in salary by the national nonprofit and $351,113 from the Texas one; Valenciano was paid $460,000 from NDC and $133,000 from Texas; and deGroot was paid $460,000 from the national nonprofit and $123,000 from Texas. The IRS filings claim Valenciano and deGroot worked 40 hours a week for the Texas nonprofit while also working 35 hours a week for the national nonprofit. They also claim Kennedy worked 40 hours a week for the Texas nonprofit, which would leave little time for his many for-profit ventures or the national nonprofit.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-898349 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990-1024x527.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="527" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990-1024x527.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990-300x154.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990-768x395.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990-1536x791.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/ndc-2021-990.jpg 1884w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
“Kennedy, along with his co-defendants, used NDC resources, such as their own time and the time of NDC staff, to assist with non-NDC organizations in order to benefit Kennedy’s other ventures and, ultimately, Kennedy himself,” the suit said.
Kennedy is now running a constellation of identity- and anti-racism-focused groups, all of which appear to be bare-bones fronts for his for-profit firm.
The conference’s materials indicate that numerous politicians have been taken in by the alleged grifter, with Barack Obama, Jeb Bush, Colin Powell, Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton all listed as past speakers.
The speaker changes came just after The Daily Wire asked the Harry Walker Agency, which represents both Clinton and Winfrey in speaking engagements, about the story, though Walker never responded to the request for comment.
Dwayne Mason, a patent attorney who has represented Kennedy, responded to The Daily Wire’s inquiry by saying, “You’d think if he stole millions of dollars, then somehow there’d be charges brought by the state [of Texas], which hasn’t happened.” He demanded that it delete its story because it is &#8220;full of lies.&#8221; When asked for an example, he said, &#8220;No, I’m staying at the 6,000-foot view.&#8221;
Kennedy appears to have escaped culpability in the civil lawsuit precisely because his alleged fleecing of the nonprofit was so extensive. On March 28, the lawsuit was administratively <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txsd.1911128/gov.uscourts.txsd.1911128.103.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed</a> because the nonprofit had filed for bankruptcy.

Bill Clinton denied that he witnessed evidence of a cognitive or physical decline in his fellow former president, Joe Biden, after new details emerged about efforts by the White House to keep the matter under wraps.
In an <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bill-clinton-on-opposing-president-trumps-agenda-we-cannot-throw-the-legacy-of-this-country-away/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning,&#8221; correspondent Tracy Smith brought up “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&#8221; a recently-published book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.
The book &#8220;talks about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?&#8221; Smith asked.
&#8220;No,&#8221; the 78-year-old Clinton said. &#8220;I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;And we did several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can&#8217;t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
Bill Clinton says he never saw anything to point to Biden being in cognitive decline. He thought Biden was in perfect shape and sharp as a tack.

Biden embarked on a campaign for re-election, but dropped out under pressure from allies concerned about his mental capacity, age, and electability following a fumbling debate performance against now-President Trump — who ended up winning a second term in a match-up against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Pressed again, Clinton added, &#8220;No. So, I didn&#8217;t know anything about any of this. And I haven&#8217;t read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn&#8217;t register with me &#8217;cause I never saw him that way.&#8221;

Clinton said he &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to&#8221; read the book because Biden is &#8220;not president anymore, and I think he did a good job. And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was re-elected.&#8221;
Republicans in Congress are now looking into any efforts to cover up Biden&#8217;s condition during his single term as president. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-demands-testimony-from-bidens-doctor-former-white-house-aides-on-cover-up-of-mental-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> testimony from Biden&#8217;s doctor and former White House aides. It was recently disclosed that Biden is fighting an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-diagnosed-with-aggressive-form-of-prostate-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;aggressive form&#8221;</a> of prostate cancer, raising <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-a-top-cancer-doctor-says-bidens-diagnosis-story-doesnt-add-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questions</a> about the timing of the announcement.
Biden issued a defiant response when confronted about the controversy over his mental and physical health while in office. “You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-he-can-beat-the-hell-outta-jake-tapper-jokes-hes-mentally-incompetent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, apparently referencing Tapper and Thompson.

<h3>Bill Clinton, George Mitchell, and a Tale of Two Peace Processes</h3>
Prime Minister Netanyahu assumed office on June 18, 1996, and immediately set out to do the job the Israeli public elected him to do. When forced to choose, Rabin and Peres always made sure the cart was in front of the horse. First, one had to implement the two-state solution, and then Israel would (hopefully) get security. Under Netanyahu, the cart and the horse were put back into their rightful places. First, Israel had to get security, and then he would implement the two-state solution. In Netanyahu’s words, “One of the key goals in my first term as prime minister was to change the Palestinian perception that ‘terrorism pays’ to ‘terrorism doesn’t pay.’ I did this by insisting on security and reciprocity.”<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>
He was tested almost immediately. On September 24, 1996, Netanyahu gave authorization to unseal the door to a tunnel that ran along the outer rim of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. The door was nowhere near any mosque and opened into the Christian Quarter of the Old City. But Arafat, a human mushroom cloud, ordered his men to go on the attack using the very guns the Israelis had given them as part of the Oslo Accords, ostensibly to fight terrorism.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a> By the time the mini-war ended, seventeen Israelis and about a hundred Palestinians were dead.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a>
Thousands of wars have been fought since mankind became cognizant of territory and the desire to control it — none were started over a door. Admittedly, this wasn’t just any door, just as the Wailing Wall isn’t just any wall. But for its American and Israeli champions, the peace process was supposed to be the forum for settling disputes, not the battlefield.
Clinton Administration officials blamed Netanyahu.

Republic Book Publishers</div>
They called for a summit where they demanded that Netanyahu make concessions. When he resisted, Clinton went into a dark rage so loud it could be heard in the next room. In the words of Dennis Ross, “Arafat now knew that Bibi was the desperate one.”<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a> Violence was thus not only tolerated — it was rewarded.
When a semblance of security was eventually restored, Netanyahu advanced the peace process. He agreed to not one but two interim withdrawals — the Hebron Accords and the Wye River Memorandum — but he steadfastly insisted that progress be conditioned on Arafat fighting terrorism. American officials were outraged. After Netanyahu demanded that Arafat arrest thirteen suspected terrorists, Clinton “exploded,” according to Ross, who wrote bemusedly that he was “struck by [Netanyahu’s] belief that&#8230;he was the victim of mistreatment.”<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a> On another occasion, Ross writes that the Clinton Administration saw Bibi’s complaints over a bombing as “an excuse to avoid negotiations” and that Bibi was “killing any prospect of peace.”<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a>
Meanwhile, the stubborn insistence on that which is most basic in a peace process — namely peace — paid off for ordinary Israelis. During the long, seemingly unending terror campaign that defined the Oslo Peace Process, the lowest loss of life occurred during the premiership of Netanyahu. Only one Israeli died per month on his watch. For Peres, the figures were seven and a half times worse.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7">[7]</a>
<div id="attachment_917179" style="width: 883px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-917179" class="size-large wp-image-917179" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1147679-873x576.jpg" alt="President Clinton (R) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sit on a deck along the banks of the Wye River at the Wye River Plantation where peace talks continue between Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for the third straight day at the secluded Maryland site October 18, 1998.

The Wye agreement — which required a sizeable withdrawal from West Bank territory by the Israelis — proved Netanyahu’s commitment to the peace process, at least while Israeli buses and pizzerias weren’t being blown to bits. Signed on October 23, 1998, it caused his right-wing coalition partners to bring down the government and trigger early elections.<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8">[8]</a> By now, the Israeli public felt safer and, thus, more willing to take chances for peace. On May 17, 1999, Ehud Barak defeated Netanyahu in a historic landslide. At the time, it was the widest margin ever scored by an Israeli challenger over an incumbent.<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9">[9]</a>
The Israeli peace camp was jubilant. One left-wing activist said it was as if they had been freed from a foreign occupation.<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10">[10]</a> The great obstacle to peace was removed — now they could finalize a deal with the Palestinians. The cart was finally back in front of the horse.
What happened next was probably inevitable. Barak formed his pro-peace government in July; Palestinian terrorists murdered three Israelis in August.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11">[11]</a> Through it all, Washington pressed the Israelis to continue the peace process and all the interim withdrawals that it entailed.<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12">[12]</a>
To halt the transfer of territory to the Palestinians and end the talks would “give the terrorists what they wanted.” Israel’s intelligence service issued a classified report in late 1999 predicting that Arafat would go to war because Jerusalem would be blamed for it one way or the other.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13">[13]</a>

President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order making English the official language of the United States, according to reports. The U.S. has never implemented a national language at the federal level.
In August 2000, five months before he left office, President Bill Clinton issued an <a href="https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/crt/legacy/2010/12/14/eolep.pdf">executive order</a> to aid what he called “limited English proficiency” (LEP) persons, writing, “To assist the agencies with this endeavor, the Department of Justice has today issued a general guidance document (LEP Guidance).”
The Department of Justice’s Coordination Regulation corresponding to Clinton’s executive order <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-28/chapter-I/part-42/subpart-F/section-42.405">stated</a>, “Where a significant number or proportion of the population eligible to be served or likely to be directly affected by a federally assisted program (e.g., affected by relocation) needs service or information in a language other than English in order effectively to be informed of or to participate in the program, the recipient shall take reasonable steps, considering the scope of the program and the size and concentration of such population, to provide information in appropriate languages to such persons.”
Trump’s executive order would eliminate the Clinton mandate. “Agencies will still be able to provide documents and services in languages other than English, according to a White House summary of the order viewed by The Wall Street Journal,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-executive-order-english-official-language-5c0b7665">reported</a>, adding, “The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.”
In 2021, Oklahoma GOP Senator James Inhofe introduced a bill to make English the official language of the United States. The bill stated, “Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall issue for public notice and comment a proposed rule for uniform testing English language ability of candidates for naturalization, which shall be based upon the principles that (1) all citizens of the United States should be able to read and understand generally the English language text of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the laws of the United States which are made in pursuance thereof; and (2) any exceptions to the standard described in paragraph (1) should be limited to extraordinary circumstances, such as asylum.”

President Donald Trump is closing in on one month on the job, and his administration&#8217;s breakneck pace has barely slowed down since day one.
In honor of Presidents&#8217; Day, we thought we&#8217;d break Trump&#8217;s second term down by the numbers, and see how he compares to other presidents at this point in the year.
Here&#8217;s how he stacks up.
<h3>Executive Orders: Winning!</h3>
So far during his second term Trump has <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/page/11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> 68 executive orders, far more than any other president in recent history. By this time in his first term, he had signed only a dozen orders, a sign of how much more aggressive Trump intends to be this time around.
Joe Biden had signed 32 executive orders by Presidents&#8217; Day — some on racial equity and requiring COVID face masks — while Barack Obama had signed 14 executive orders. George W. Bush had signed seven, Bill Clinton six, and Ronald Reagan five.
Trump immediately took a slew of actions against illegal immigration, sending troops to the border, launching a massive deportation operation, and ordering border wall construction. He took action to end the weaponization of the federal government, and cut regulation.
He also took aim at gender ideology, banning federal funding for transgender drugs and procedures for children and prohibiting public schools from promoting gender ideology or allowing men on women&#8217;s sports teams or in their bathrooms. He also took an axe to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies.
<h3>Cabinet Nominees: Winning!</h3>
Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s cabinet nominees are working their way through their Senate confirmations, with 16 out of 22 nominees confirmed so far. By this time in Trump&#8217;s first term, he had only nine nominees confirmed.
Biden had only six nominees confirmed at this point, while Obama had 11. Bush had all 14 of his nominees confirmed, Clinton had all but one of his 14 nominees confirmed, and Reagan had all 13 of his nominees confirmed.
On Thursday, Trump was able to get his most controversial pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
<h3>Job Approval: Better Than Last Time</h3>
Despite years of relentless attacks from the media, Trump&#8217;s job approval is significantly better now than at this point during his first term.
Trump&#8217;s approval rating <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sits</a> at 48.8% as of Monday, <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/203198/presidential-approval-ratings-donald-trump.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">higher</a> than the 40% he scored at this point in his first term, but below where recent Democrat presidents were.
Biden&#8217;s approval rating <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was</a> 54.8% at this point in his presidency, as he enjoyed a brief honeymoon period while Americans hoped he would quickly end the pandemic. His approval rating started plummeting that summer, just before the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. It  never recovered, at one point dipping below 36%.
Obama&#8217;s approval rating was 62% this time in his first term, George W. Bush was at 57%, Bill Clinton at 51%, and Ronald Reagan <a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/ronald-reagan-public-approval" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at</a> 55%.
<h3>Diplomacy: Winning!</h3>
Trump has also taken a forceful approach to bringing home Americans detained abroad.
Since taking office last month, Trump has <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/wins-come-all-day-under-president-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">secured</a> the <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5147175-hamas-releases-israeli-american-ceasefire-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">release</a> of at least 12 hostages held by Hamas terrorists, the Taliban, Russia, Venezuela, and Belarus. The administration is working closely with Israel to free hostages in Gaza.
Biden <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-donald-trump-hostages-1933435" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last year that he had secured the release of more than 70 hostages over his entire four years in office.
Trump has also begun negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to end the decades-long war that accelerated when Russia invaded Ukraine a year after Biden took office.
Trump has also already hosted three foreign leaders at the White House. Biden did not have a foreign leader at the White House <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-hosts-japans-suga-as-first-foreign-leader-at-the-white-house/2021/04/15/cd56f946-9e1a-11eb-b7a8-014b14aeb9e4_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">until</a> April, when he hosted the Japanese prime minister.
<h3>Super Bowl Attendance: Winning!</h3>
Trump was the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, delivering him a resounding victory in this category — which is more than you can say for the Chiefs.

President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton paid tribute to former President Jimmy Carter on Sunday following the latter&#8217;s passing at 100.
Biden praised Carter, whose presidency was marked by turmoil both on foreign and domestic fronts, as an &#8220;extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian.&#8221;
Biden said of his &#8220;dear friend&#8221;:
<blockquote>With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.
He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism. We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together. The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism.</blockquote>
Obama said that Carter had the &#8220;most impactful post-presidency in American history,&#8221; pointing to his work with Habitat for Humanity.
He said that Carter&#8217;s &#8220;decency&#8221; was his best trait, and that his truth telling and character were the reasons that he did not win re-election when he was blown out by Ronald Reagan.
Clinton released a joint statement with his wife, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, in which he gave thanks for Carter&#8217;s &#8220;good life.&#8221;
&#8220;President Carter lived to serve others-until the very end,&#8221; Clinton said, before highlighting some of Carter&#8217;s accomplishments.
&#8220;Hillary and I met President Carter in 1975 and were proud, early supporters of his Presidential campaign,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I will always be proud to have presented the Medal of Freedom to him and Rosalynn in 1999, and to have worked with him in the years after he left the White House. Our prayers are with Jack, Chip, Jeff, Amy, and their families.&#8221;

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Clinton</a> gave a rambling assessment of President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden — and argued that it was not at all the same as the pardon he&#8217;d issued to his brother, Roger Clinton.
The former president joined host Andrew Ross Sorkin on the stage at the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/04/clinton-biden-pardon-hunter-00192605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Dealbook Summit</a>, where the first question focused on the Hunter Biden pardon and whether or not it was going to do any lasting damage to the Democratic Party.

Bill Clinton takes umbrage with the comparison between his pardon of his brother and Joe Biden&#39;s pardon of Hunter, because Bill&#39;s brother served his full sentence in prison: &quot;My brother did 14 months in a federal prison.&quot;

&#8220;I want to know what you actually think of the pardon, of Biden&#8217;s pardon for his son,&#8221; Sorkin began. &#8220;This was not on my plan originally, but I thought — you know what? Everybody, we were out in that hallway, we&#8217;re all talking about that, and I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to ask the president first.'&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I think that the president did have reason to believe that the nature of the offenses involved were likely to produce far stronger adverse consequences for his son than they would for any normal person under the same circumstances,&#8221; Clinton began, saying that people needed to look at all the facts and the context before they compared Biden to him and the pardon he issued to his younger brother.

&#8220;Someone said, &#8216;Well, this is just like when Bill Clinton pardoned his brother,'&#8221; Clinton continued. &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s not. My brother did 14 months in federal prison for something he did when he was 20. And I supported it. He testified, told the truth about what he&#8217;d done when he had a drug problem and helped to bring down a larger enterprise. And then they sentenced him and he served 14 months and then he got out.&#8221;
Clinton went on to say that his concern was obviously not in protecting his brother from the consequences of his actions, but in assuring him a more normal life going forward. The questions on his mind at the time were: &#8220;Will he ever be able to vote again? Will he ever be able to have normal citizenship responsibilities?&#8221;
When asked whether Hunter&#8217;s pardon — which Biden said repeatedly would never happen — would damage the party when Democrats claimed to be the ones supporting and following the rule of law, Clinton did not seem bothered.
&#8220;We had a lot better record than Republicans did, didn’t we?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;And what good did it do us? I mean, nobody believes anybody anymore.&#8221;

Bill Clinton Says Hunter Pardon Is Not Like That Time He Pardoned His Own Brother

Pardon

Former President Bill Clinton said this week that the poorly secured U.S. southern border led to the death of 26-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley who was murdered by a criminal illegal alien who came into the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration.
While campaigning in Georgia for Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday, Clinton acknowledged the lack of vetting at the border is a serious issue that has resulted in the deaths of innocent Americans.
&#8220;You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn&#8217;t you?&#8221; Clinton asked the crowd. &#8220;They made an ad about it, a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they&#8217;d all been properly vetted that probably wouldn&#8217;t have happened.&#8221;
&#8220;And America isn&#8217;t having enough babies to keep our populations up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work – there wouldn&#8217;t be a problem,&#8221; he added.
Clinton tried to pin blame on former President Donald Trump for allegedly tanking the border bill that was proposed earlier this year.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729017532575000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2HNJnrEMijaME5vR6GJo3l">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a>
The claim that Trump stopped the border bill from being passed is false, as it was already facing widespread pushback from Republicans who noted that it was weak and would make the problem worse in many respects.
Clinton&#8217;s suggestion that Riley was killed because the bill was not passed is also false, because the timeline does not match up as she was killed before the bill failed to advance.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has also had a Republican-supported bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives sitting on his desk for nearly two years on which he has refused to hold a vote — largely because the bill actually secures the border.
In an attempt to signal who would rein in the border issue, the National Border Patrol Council has <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/aea64b2a-b179-4d66-9330-c305739fcecd">endorsed</a> Trump for president.
&#8220;On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States,&#8221; the organization said.

Women who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting them criticized liberal media outlets for their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/major-media-outlets-silent-on-doug-emhoff-assault-allegations">silence on allegations</a> against second gentleman Doug Emhoff, telling The Daily Wire that there is a double standard when it comes to allegations against powerful Democrats. 
“Doesn’t this absolutely sum up the presence of the double standard?” asked Leslie Millwee, who accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her repeatedly when she worked at an Arkansas TV station in her twenties. “This is a glaring reminder of how your political affiliation determines your guilt or innocence — or silence by the MSM.” 
Juanita Broaddrick, who alleged that Clinton raped her when he was the 31-year-old Arkansas attorney general running for governor and she was 35 and working as a volunteer for his campaign, said that the media silence on the matter reminds her of why she initially held her tongue about her allegations against Clinton. 
“It reminds me of when I didn’t come forward due to being afraid, especially after Hillary threatened me,” she added.
Though Broaddrick’s and Millwee’s allegations of sexual assault are much graver than the new allegation that Emhoff forcefully slapped his ex-girlfriend, the Clinton accusers pointed to similarities in how their allegations were treated by media and politicians. 
In an explosive story published Wednesday, The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doug-emhoff-accused-of-hitting-ex-girlfriend-in-the-face-at-high-profile-event-report">reported</a> that Emhoff had drunkenly and “forcefully slapped” his ex-girlfriend in 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival because he thought she was flirting with another man. Three friends confirmed the story to the Daily Mail, which did not identify Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend and only revealed that she is a “successful New York attorney.
The publication included a photo of the couple, with the woman’s face blurred out, as well as a travel itinerary and email showing details about their stay in Nice, France.
The Daily Wire reached out to both the White House and the Harris campaign without response. An unnamed spokesman for Emhoff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doug-emhoff-spokesman-denies-second-gentleman-assaulted-his-ex-girlfriend">told Semafor that the report</a> is “untrue” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.”
“Of course he will deny,” said Broaddrick, when she learned of the statement. “Learned that from Bill Clinton.” 
Millwee argued that when it comes to allegations against powerful politicians, “accountability is doled out based on the whims of the 90% liberal media, and your worthiness is then determined — whether it’s never reported, or like Hunter’s laptop or the Russian dossier, you are automatically evil and called a liar if you call them out with a reality check and the facts.” 
She also pointed to The Daily Mail’s past reporting on Emhoff’s affair with his nanny. 
“He, like Clinton, has a history including incredibly poor choices and lack of accountability,” she said. “While we don’t know exactly what he’s willing to fess up to regarding this slapping allegation, we do know about inappropriate behaviors, infidelities and impregnating his children’s nanny. What else don’t we know!? We know with certainty the MSM kills or hides anything they fear will hurt their left wing positions.” 
“Wouldn’t it be terrific if facts mattered?” she asked. “If men in power were held accountable for their actions? If they didn’t sickeningly hide behind a powerful wife?” 
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/janedoe022099.htm">Broaddrick made her allegations against Clinton public </a>in 1999, telling the Washington Post that Clinton raped her while she was volunteering for his campaign. He allegedly asked her to chat but then changed the location of their chat repeatedly until they were alone in her hotel room. 
She alleges that he began forcefully kissing her, pulled her onto the bed and raped her. During the alleged rape, Broaddrick says, Clinton allegedly bruised her lip with his mouth. She alleges that Clinton said as he departed: “You better get some ice for that,” before putting on his sunglasses and walking out the door. 
Clinton’s legal team denied her allegations. Broaddrick has further said that Hillarly Clinton approached her after the alleged incident and told her, “I just want you to know how appreciative that Bill and I are for all that you’re doing for his campaign.”
“She grabbed my arm very strongly and pulled me back to her, pulled me down to her face and said, ‘Do you understand everything you do?’” Broaddrick <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/24/metoo-clinton-accusers-kamala-harris-bill-clinton/">told the Daily Caller News Foundation</a>. “And at that moment in time, I thought she knew. To me that was a threat.” 
Millwee went public with her allegations against Clinton when she <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/10/19/exclusive-video-interview-new-bill-clinton-sexual-assault-accuser-goes-public-first-time/">spoke to Breitbart News in October 2016</a>. She accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her multiple times in 1980 while she was working at an Arkansas TV station. 
“He followed me into an editing room,” Millwee told Breitbart. “It was very small. There was a chair. I was sitting in a chair. He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders and running his hands down toward my breasts. And I was just stunned. I froze. I asked him to stop. He laughed.”
She described Clinton allegedly assaulting her a second time at the TV station, saying, “He came in behind me. Started hunching me to the point that he had an orgasm. He’s trying to touch my breasts. And I’m just sitting there very stiffly, just waiting for him to leave me alone. And I’m asking him the whole time, ‘Please do not do this. Do not touch me. Do not hunch me. I do not want this.’”
There was a third occasion where Clinton allegedly performed the same assault on Millwee, and on a fourth occasion, he allegedly came to her home and repeatedly knocked on the door, telling her, “I know you are home. Please answer the door.” She told Breitbart that she did not answer the door. 
The Clintons did not immediately respond to requests for comment for this story.

‘Double Standard’: Clinton Accusers Bash Media Silence On Doug Emhoff Allegations

Comedian Jon Stewart slammed Democrats this week for the hypocrisy that was on display at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Convention</a> (DNC).
Stewart made the remarks on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;The Daily Show&#8221; on Thursday night following the convention&#8217;s conclusion.
&#8220;At their convention, they had union leaders and C.E.O.s. They had Democratic Party icons and lifelong Republicans,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They had a guy yelling, ‘Screw the billionaires!’ followed immediately by a very happy billionaire.&#8221;
Stewart was referencing attacks from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the subsequent remarks from Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, who is a billionaire.
&#8220;It&#8217;s all okay if it’s our billionaire,&#8221; Stewart mockingly said of the Democrats. &#8220;I don’t like billionaires, but he’s all right.&#8221;
Stewart then slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for mocking Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for going to Yale while Democrats had multiple Yale graduates speak — including former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Chris Coons (D-DE), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) — which Stewart included in a graphic on the screen.
&#8220;The Democrats had people who prosecuted sexual predators,&#8221; Steward said, showing a photo of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Former President Bill Clinton and two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> for president on Sunday after President Joe Biden announced that he was ending his presidential campaign after facing intense pressure from the media and his own party to do so.
&#8220;We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her,&#8221; the Clintons said in a joint statement. &#8220;We&#8217;ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term. He has promised to be a dictator on day one, and the recent ruling by his servile Supreme Court will only embolden him to further shred the Constitution.&#8221;
&#8220;Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we&#8217;ve got to elect her,&#8221; they added. &#8220;America&#8217;s future depends on it.&#8221;
Biden said that he was ending his campaign because it was in the best interest of the Democrat Party, but added that he intended to finish out the remainder of his term.
Shortly after he suspended his campaign, he gave a full-throated endorsement of Harris, saying that selecting her to be his vice president was &#8220;the best decision I’ve made.&#8221;
&#8220;Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump.&#8221;

Harris accepted Biden&#8217;s endorsement, saying that she was &#8220;honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.&#8221;
She said that she was going to do “everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party-and unite our nation-to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda,” even though Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025.
“We have 107 days until Election Day,” she said. “Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
Former President Barack Obama did not endorse Harris in a statement he released on Sunday where he called the situation that Democrats find themselves in &#8220;uncharted waters.&#8221;
&#8220;I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges,&#8221; he said.

The Clintons Endorse Kamala Harris For President

Elections

A flurry of Democrats celebrated President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> after he said on Sunday that he would be ending his re-election campaign.
The announcement came as some of these same allies reportedly pressed Biden, 81, to bow out after his fumbling debate performance late last month spurred unease about his apparent decline and electability.
Biden also <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> to be the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party, however, she may not ultimately get the nod.
House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1815102711823548552" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X that Biden is a &#8220;patriotic American who has always put our country first.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s &#8220;legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential Presidents in American history,&#8221; she continued.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1815090503060521274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Biden &#8220;has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he&#8217;s a truly amazing human being.&#8221;
The decision to drop out &#8220;of course was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first. Joe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American,&#8221; Schumer added.
