He never says the impeachment was a mistake. He said it was a mistake to let people think it was over Lewinski.

I thought Newsmax was better than this.

Good point. Thanks for clarifying that point. Sloppy reporting on their part

You make a good point.

“I thought Newsmax was better than this.”

Newsmax pledged $1 million to Clinton foundation. How anyone can take them seriously after that surprises me.

I agree.
The headline does not match the message.

Gingrich is right on all counts.
I remember hearing back then (from democrat sympathizers of course) that it’s stupid to be impeached over sex. Which was a misnomer, because he wasn’t just cheating on the first lady, but he was exploiting a young woman under him, which is something you would thing nearly everyone but particularly feminists would abhor, so not only was it not about sex, but it was about lies, perjury and coverup. Crimes.

So just like today, 3 or 4 decades ago, everyone was in politically tribal.

Do I think Bill Clinton commit major crimes and misdemeanors against the state to the level of needing a huge impeachment over what was basically just a tabloid scandal? For This case, No. Personally I don’t.
Just like I don’t think the FBI/DOJ and the ever so honorable Capitol should have have been weaponized to attack Trump. Even less so.
But look at how many crimes against the State and the trust of the people have escaped scrutiny over those same decades! Real crimes!
