Maybe Lott said that.
But most Republicans ignored him.
And every Democrat Senator voted "not guilty" on both charges.
It wazsn't the foolish Trent Lott who saved Clinton's corrupt butt. It was the Democrats who unanimously supported a President who decided that perjury wasn't "a high crime or misdemeanor".
He could have asked Clinton to resign that day with Kerry, Moynahan on the Senate floor, he didn't. He put us through what was it 33 days of hell with Bush v Gore in FLA, he could have been a gentleman and asked Al not to do this for the sake of the country, and he didn't. He was one of that should have voted for Impeachment,
