WATCH: Bill Clinton Admits Kamala Is ‘Extremely Vulnerable,’ Calls Kari Lake ‘Physically Attractive’ In Bizarre Speech

Bill Clinton’s return to Arizona for a “Get Out the Vote” event took an unexpected turn as the former president made some unusual comments about Vice President Kamala Harris and GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake. During a speech in Phoenix, Clinton admitted that Harris is “extremely vulnerable” as she faces attacks from political opponents, before shifting his focus to compliment Lake’s appearance, calling her “physically attractive.”

The event was organized as part of the Democratic effort to bolster support for Harris ahead of the 2024 election. Clinton’s visit marked his first campaign stop in Arizona since supporting his wife Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016. His remarks, however, quickly drew mixed reactions for their unfiltered and candid nature.

Clinton started his speech by addressing Harris’s challenges, acknowledging that while some Americans remain staunchly supportive of the Biden-Harris administration, there’s a significant group that remains uncertain. “About 45% of the people think he [Trump] can do no wrong, and they don’t care if we save our democracy or not,” Clinton said.

“So there is a sliver there that has to make up their mind. And to them, Kamala Harris just showed up,” Clinton said. “She was there as vice president and what they think of President Biden… but she is extremely vulnerable, more vulnerable than she deserves to be through crazy attacks. So, they’ve been thinking, the Republicans all this time, how can we go on the attack?”

Later, Clinton turned his attention to Republican Senate hopeful Kari Lake. Clinton commented, “This is like a beautiful microcosm of the campaign that Kamala Harris has run as vice president.” He then drew a comparison between Lake and her opponent, Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), describing Lake as someone who is “physically attractive but believes that politics is a performance art.”

Lake seems to be closing the gap on Gallego as they approach the final two weeks of their U.S. Senate campaign. However, the irony isn’t lost, considering Clinton’s past controversies regarding his own personal conduct.

Clinton, the former two-term president, turned Arizona blue for the first time since 1948 when he won the state in 1996. Arizona’s role as a crucial swing state could decisively impact the presidential election. While Vice President Kamala Harris contends with challenges in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other “blue” states—a critical component of the Democratic stronghold—her battle continues in Arizona where the latest polls suggest a lead for Trump.
