Former President Bill Clinton is still reminiscing about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern 27 years his junior.
Clinton was asked during an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about his decision to once again revisit the sex scandal in his new memoir, Citizen—set to be released on Nov. 19.
Referring to the affair in the book, Clinton reportedly said, “I live with it all the time,” and praised Lewinsky’s work on bullying. “I wish her nothing but the best.”
On Sunday, CBS journalist Tracy Smith asked Clinton why he decided to bring up Lewinsky nearly three decades after the affair and his subsequent impeachment.
In response, Clinton said he “thought” he needed to speak up about the fling.
“I wanted to be as helpful as I could to let her turn the page,” the 42nd president said paradoxically as mentioning the scandal only reignited public attention to it.
“And I think she should be given a chance to build a life that is about her and the future and not you know being whiplashed into an old story,” Clinton continued.
According to The Guardian’s review of the book, Clinton also described his frustration during a 2018 NBC News interview when pressed on whether he had apologized to Lewinsky directly.
“I said, ‘No, I felt terrible then.’ ‘Did you ever apologize to her?’ I said that I had apologized to her and everybody else I wronged,” Clinton wrote.
“I was caught off guard by what came next,” he added, “‘But you didn’t apologize to her, at least according to folks that we’ve talked to.’ I fought to contain my frustration as I replied that while I’d never talked to her directly, I did say publicly on more than [one] occasion I was sorry.”
Remember when Bill Clinton LOST IT so badly on national TV after an NBC host asked him if he'd ever apologized personally to Monica Lewinsky, that his buddy James Patterson had to jump in to run cover?

Me , me , me.
All I remember is him pointing his finger at America saying…”I didn’t have Sex with that girl, Monica Lewinsky”
And “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”
All I remember is him pointing his finger at America saying…”I didn’t have Sex with that girl, Monica Lewinsky”
He messed up, what he meant to say was, “I didn’t have Sex with that girl, Hillary Clinton.”

This Day In History: Bill Clinton says “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
He’d really like to have another taste
“I live with it all the time,”
I bet he does! Hitlery carries grudges.
But I imagine the memories are nice...
Can you really blame him for running around on the Hildabeast? She’s not interested in men and obviously doesn’t care if he runs around, she was just angry he got caught....
Barak learned from it and kept his pants on.
Barack always struck me as having a more giving personality anyway.
Eww
He’s only sorry for one thing...
That he got caught!
I believe that his his punishment.
He lives with it all the time!?
So do we
Enough of this d head
Enough of his wife
They are all Irene
They just got voted out of office
He’s screeching as he is sliding down the deck of the listing sinking ship
It is all over.
I thought he “let it all out” in the Oval Office bathroom sink, and on a blue dress?
Does anyone else long for those halcyon days, long dinners with friends at your favorite watering hole, discussing the presidential unit Willard and whether he was small, large, or had a “distinct curvature”?
Those were the days.
I remember the absolute nasty trashing Linda Tripp took for telling ML to go public and tell the truth.
I felt so sorry for that lady.
RIP
He brought it up just in case you forgot he was president once.
