Monica Lewinsky: I would apologize to Hillary Clinton again
Politico ^ | 11/13/2018 | Jesus Rodriguez

Posted on 11/13/2018 3:46:12 PM PST by simpson96

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.

Mary Mahoney, Whitehouse intern, murdered

Monica at one point said on the Linda Tripp tapes, "I don't want to end up like Mary Mahoney..."

WHY did Monica say that..? I think we all know.

Monica needs to decide how she wants to present herself.
You can’t keep re-telling the story unprompted, then freak out when someone asks you a direct question about it.

About a month ago,
she was onstage in Israel for an interview about a book she co-wrote. The interviewer asked Monica about Bill Clinton’s #MeToo culpability. Monica stops talking, suddenly removes her tiny microphone, stands up and walks off the stage, presumably in tears, like some frightened traumatized Virgin. Who does she think she’s fooling?

“Yeah, a 21 year old should apologize to the 45 year old President for leading him astray....give me a break.”

The flesh is weak.

No apology necessary....Hillary was prob busy with her girlfriend and thankful that someone was taking care of her dog at home.

Hillary Clinton does not deserve an apology from any woman who ‘danced’ with her husband.....She ‘accepted’ his antics long long ago....and still does today.

Further there would be no need if her husband knew how to keep his fly zipped!

Didn’t she walk off the stage in an interview in Jerusalem earlier this year when this topic came up?

I hate to agree with Hillary but Miss Cumsteen was an adult. At what age are young people really responsible for their actions?

If it hadn’t been Monica, Bill would’ve been getting his blow jobs from some other adultress.

Moni, no need to get on you knees....

Bill violated his commitment to Hillary or his public persona of marital fidelity.

I have had girlfriends cheat on me and never blamed the man for being a guy. I blamed the cheating sleez-o-ette psycho

She’s a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty

That was Anita Hill (courtesy of David Brock).

One more additional reason for her to keep her mouth shut. We all know what the first reason was for.

Hiltery Rotten Clinton took credit for the war crime murder of a POW named Momar Gadaffi and this bimbo still feels sorry for crossing her.

The Clintons had a marriage of convenience.

That secluded swimsuit dance was staged.
