WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a moment that was somehow both wildly inappropriate and entirely on-brand, former President Bill Clinton took the stage at the Democratic National Convention last Tuesday to voice his opposition to Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation policy — while offering a deeply questionable explanation for his sudden burst of humanitarian concern.
“I just think it’s wrong, folks,” Clinton said, nodding solemnly before flashing his signature grin. “We can’t go around deporting people who bring joy to this great nation… especially the ones who twerk on TikTok. Have you seen what those Latinas can do with rhythm and a ring light?”
The crowd, unsure whether to applaud or alert security, offered a hesitant smattering of claps as Clinton continued.
“Now, I want to make this crystal clear,” he added, squinting into the prompter. “Any Latina in need of immediate asylum — or as I like to say, assylum — can contact my office directly. We’ll get you… situated.”
Clinton then winked so hard it looked like a medical emergency, prompting a visible grimace from DNC organizers seated in the front row.
Sources confirm that following the speech, the former president was seen at the convention’s reception banquet enjoying the shrimp cocktail and attempting to explain the difference between humanitarian relief and “vibe checks” to a confused intern from NPR.
The evening took an abrupt turn when Hillary Clinton, dressed in a sharp pantsuit and an expression of eternal disappointment, strode over and delivered a swift smack to the back of Bill’s head with the force of 30 years of political damage control.
“I leave him alone for five minutes,” she muttered, dragging him away from the dessert table by the elbow as he attempted to quote Bad Bunny lyrics.
A spokesperson for the Clinton Foundation later issued a statement clarifying that, “President Clinton’s comments were meant to be taken figuratively, metaphorically, and ideally not at all.”
Meanwhile, TikTok reports that searches for “Latina twerk asylum” spiked by over 800% overnight, leading to widespread confusion and one deeply uncomfortable Congressional subcommittee briefing.
At press time, Bill Clinton was seen Googling “how to say sorry in Spanish,” and then — for reasons unknown — “do hips lie?”
