Yeah, no.

DENVER — Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday defended his wife Hillary Clinton’s recent comments on wealth, saying she is “not out of touch.”

In a discussion with NBC’s David Gregory as part of the Clinton Global Initiative, the former president backed up his wife’s remarks about being “dead broke” when the couple left the White House.

“It is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt,” Clinton said, as Hillary Clinton and his daughter Chelsea looked on. The former president argued that the reporters asking his wife the questions “should put this in some sort of context.”

The Clintons have sought to do damage control over Hillary Clinton’s “dead broke” comment as the firmer first lady, New York senator and secretary of State prepares for a possible 2016 White House bid.
