Bill Clinton insists he doesn't owe Monica Lewinsky an apology for hijacking her life by taking advantage of her while president and says HE'S a victim because he left the White House deeply in debt
Clinton rocked the political world during the 1990s when he was forced to admit an affair with young White House intern Monica Lewinsky
Now he insists he doesn't owe her a face-to-face apology for turning her life upside down and subjecting her to international ridicule
The former president says he's a victim of his own transgressions since he left the White House $16 million in debt
He and Hillary Clinton have amassed a fortune since then through six-figure speaking appearances
James Patterson, who co-authored a political fiction book with Clinton, insisted he shouldn't have resigned because philandering JFK and LBJ set the standard
Former President Bill Clinton insisted in a weekend interview that he doesn't owe a personal apology to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose adult life has been defined by their inappropriate sexual affair and the global scrutiny that followed.
'No,' he told NBC in an interview airing Monday on the 'Today' show. 'I do not I have never talked to her. But I did say publicly on more than one occasion that I was sorry.'
'I apologized to everybody in the world,' Clinton said, implying that was enough.
And the flustered former president, more famous for his Don Juan-like seductions than for his policy legacy, portrayed himself, not Lewinsky, as history's victim in the mass-media's retelling of the 1990s saga.

'Nobody believes that I got out of that for free,' he said. 'I left the White House $16 million in debt,'
He's worth about $80 million today, aided by an aggressive schedule of speaking events many of which paid him six-figure fees for individual appearances.
‘I left the White House $16 million in debt,’
I do not believe it.
The Clintons have always been liars. They were celebrated for their lying.
Now isn’t that Clintonesque?
IT’S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
VICTIM!!!!!!!!!!
He’s worth about $80 million today,
><
I’d say the Clinton’s are worth closer to a $Billion.
He doesn’t have to apologize for making Lewinsky into a dirty word. He already said he was sorry! He’s so aw shucks, the liberals just love him. It was a consensual relationship, not like Stormy Daniels. He also never said the word p***y in a private conversation that was recorded by someone pretending to be trustworthy.
Poor guy. It’s all about him.. The only thing I give him a pass for is that he was in that marriage - which is highly unlikely from outside appearances to have been a picnic to this point. However, they both chose that marriage and seemed to have prioritized their political aspirations far beyond the importance of their marriage.
Donors to The Clinton Foundation) got lucrative Hillary/Obama State Dept arms deals.Obama got his cut.
Self centered people are the only ones that have no idea how self centered they are.
I sort of agree with Slick. Monica could have avoided all of the publicity had she simply kept her mouth shut - either before or afterwards.
Due to Bill Clinton’s love of embarrassing people, he attempted to destroy her life as a liar. Oh, and all of the other women too.
Thats just walking around money. They got their real bankroll through the fraudulent Clinton Foundation, of which well never know the true value of because the records are kept in Canada.
And the Democrats are the party of #MeToo.
HA!!
It would be worth at least double to pay her to shut up.
A porn star is the appropriate spokesperson for the Democrat Party. She reflects its values, morality, and standards.
Are there any women who Bill Clinton would feel he owes an apology?
Is there a list?
In my misogynistic view, this is a classic case of women demanding to have it both ways. If a man makes unwanted advances hes a brute and a cad, and the woman is a helpless victim. If he makes welcomed advances and the two are found out, as may be the case with Trump and Stormy Daniels, hes still a brute and a cad, and the woman is a helpless victim. If the woman comes on to the man as Lewinsky did and theyre found out, hes still a brute and a cad, and the woman is a victim.
Both Clinton and Lewinsky owe the American people an apology for misusing government property by treating the White House like a whorehouse, subjecting the chief executive to possible blackmail, wasting government time, and disgracing the nation.
