Former President Bill Clinton shared an anecdote regarding Nelson Mandela and the aftermath of his impeachment Friday on CNN.
Clinton revealed shortly after the “impeachment business” finished on Capitol Hill, Rep. Henry Hyde (R., Ill.) who managed the impeachment trial requested a meeting at the White House.
The former president granted the meeting out of lessons of humility and forgiveness he learned from Mandela, he said:
BILL CLINTON: I remember one day, oh, about a month after the whole impeachment business was over...

What, did Mandela wear a blue dress for him too?
Well that makes all the difference folks, we can all love Mandela now.
One criminal consoling another
Forgive? Yeah, like he didn’t do anything to deserve it. Obama was making me feel all warm and fuzzy about Clinton. This helps me to get over that.
Did you forgive the Republicans for causing you to lie?
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Mz. Lewinsky.”
What a chump.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
The thing which is really different from the 60s is the thing about the pigs these days all calling themselves democrats...
Touching tale from America’s First African-American President.
Well that’s really nice, Slick.
Whenever the Clintons have no relevant comment to make they fabricate a historical moment that centers around themselves.
When I saw this a day or two ago, my immediate reaction was uncontrolled projectile vomiting.
The rapist President, who suborned perjury, diddled a government intern in my Oval Office, lied about it, had his wife blame good Americans like me for lying about her worthless in name only husband,sold secrets to the red Chinese, covered up TWA 800, still is incapable of trying to bend history to suit his need to not take responsible actions.
Wow! Clinton forgave an entire political party! He must be a great man like Mandela (gag)!
Another lie from Bill Clinton. Only fools will believe this.
Sounds like Mandela also borrowed Monica's knee pads.
Lies. All lies. He forgives? The arrogance of evil. Just like someone else we all know.
Brazen lies to a grand jury didn’t have anything to do with your impeachment huh clinton?
Anybody else lies to a grand jury, it’s straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
My goodness these democrat progressives are disgusting people. Everything, no matter how perverted, disgusting, good, enlightening, tragic, or religious is just a tool to further their agenda and fill their insatiable lust of power.
He didn’t forgive the GOP any more than constitutional conservatives forgave him for obvious perjury. We just couldn’t make it stick in a partisan congress. Even with a DNA-Stained blue dress.
