Former president Bill Clinton says he and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aren’t “nearly as political as everyone thinks we are.”

“We’re not nearly as political as everyone thinks we are,” he told PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff on Monday. “We don’t sit around all the time talking about this. We swim in the late afternoon every day. And if either one of us even mentions a political topic we will stop the other one and just talk about the weather or whatever.”

Clinton then acknowledged that he and his wife, the former secretary of state, do talk politics, “but not often,” he said.
