Monica Lewinsky says she would again apologize to former first lady Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, over the 1998 sex scandal that embroiled the White House and led to former President Bill Clinton's impeachment.
Lewinsky, who has become an activist for women's rights and part of the #MeToo movement, wrote in a personal essay that 20 years later, amid the public reckoning over sexual harassment and gender-based power dynamics facing the United States, that she has chosen to again discuss her relationship with Bill Clinton while he was married.
"My first public words after the scandal ... were an apology directly to Chelsea and Mrs. Clinton. And if I were to see Hillary Clinton in person today, I know that I would summon up whatever force I needed to again acknowledge to her—sincerely—how very sorry I am," Lewinsky wrote in the article published in Vanity Fair, where she is a contributing editor.
Still, she criticized Bill Clinton for appearing dismissive of the idea that he might owe her a public apology.
"For the first time in more than 15 years, Bill Clinton was being asked directly about what transpired. If you want to know what power looks like, watch a man safely, even smugly, do interviews for decades, without ever worrying whether he will be asked the questions he doesn’t want to answer," she wrote.

...courtesy of Hillary, I forgot to add.
Monica, it’s time to stop
beating that same....drum, and find something else to be known for.
I wish she would just go away even tho her being in the news probably helps us.
Hillary Clinton doesn’t care, and Bill moved on to Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Express and Pedo/Orgy Island. Monica, your 15 minutes of fame expired a long time ago.
DAM, you’re right.
Never thought of that.
Would have been WAY too obvious, even for a Clinton to do.
The death threats to Monica must be coming around again.
They were going to DESTROY her —they more or less did, anyway— and she acts like THIS..?
Wow, that takes her down, after all these years, lower even than a cigar recepticle.
“She’s a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty” —THAT is how they described her at the time.
They were going to say she’d been stalking George Stepanoupoulous, since the morning schedules of both by coincidence usually involved a quick visit to the same Starbucks:
They were going to smoosh her into the dirt even more than they did, that is how they were going to get Bill off:
“You can’t trust anything she says cuz she’s NUTS..”
This was all before The Blue Dress, of course.
“Monica Lewinsky says she would again apologize to former first lady Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, over the 1998 sex scandal that embroiled the White House and led to former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment.”
Yeah, a 21 year old should apologize to the 45 year old President for leading him astray....give me a break.
Linda Tripp and Monica were friends, but Linda had been in town muuuuch longer and knew the full depth of DC treacher:
It was LINDA who admonished Monica to save the dress, and later tricked Monica into handing it over to Linda, for some reason.
Being a bit on the right, Linda knew exactly WHAT to do with the dress, though she didn’t first let on to Monica, of course.
America owes Linda Tripp a YUGE debt of gratitude.
And never did, except that it impacted her path to power. Monica was one of many of Bill's indiscretions.
Something that she can do with her mouth closed.
Why apologize to Hillary. She knew what was going on, and enabled it. She was just angry that Billy Boy got caught, and threw sand on her political aspirations.
Hey Monica...just out of curiosity-a friend wants to know...are you still handing out BJ’s?
Must be she needs the $$$ for I can’t believe she’d put herself out there again....she’s MUCH older now but apparently none the wiser.
Can we just let this woman go. She could have killed a person and gotten off easier than this endless Bullshit.
EXACTLY!! Kankles and her Bimbo Eruption goon squad were gearing up to utterly destroy Monica as (literally ) a deranged stalker.
..... and then, Monica took Linda Tripp’s excellent advice and saved her stained blue Gap dress.
The rest is history!!!!! Wheeeee!!!!
We’re coming up on the 20th Anniversary of Billy Jeff Rapist’s impeachment. And remember, Billy Jeff, impeachment is forever! WHEEE!!!!
Like the ex-intern Mahoney at the DC coffee shop was.
