#4: Bill & Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden
When the 1994 crime bill championed by Bill Clinton became an issue in his wife’s presidential campaign, the former president blamed the excessively punitive aspects of the law on Republican legislators. Clinton said Joe Biden, then chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told him, “You can’t pass this bill, and the Republicans will kill it, if you don’t put more sentencing in.” Yet as first lady Hillary Clinton cited tougher penalties as one of the bill’s main advantages, and her husband bragged about them.
