Bill Clinton: I wouldn't have done anything differently in Lewinsky scandal even in #MeToo era
NBC News ^ | 4 Jun 18 | Adam Edelman

Posted on 06/04/2018 10:32:52 AM PDT by seanmerc

Former President Bill Clinton says that, even in light of the #MeToo movement, he would not have approached how he dealt with Monica Lewinsky any differently and acknowledged that — 20 years after their relationship made headlines — he’s still never apologized privately to the former intern.

"I don't think it would be an issue," the ex-president told NBC News' Craig Melvin in an interview that aired Monday on the "Today" show, after he was asked if he would have "approached the accusations differently" if he were president in 2018 "with everything that’s going on with the #MeToo movement."

"Because people would be using the facts instead of the imagined facts. If the facts were the same today, I wouldn't," said Clinton, who was doing the "Today" interview along with author James Patterson to promote a new book they've written together titled "The President Is Missing."

In 1998, Clinton first denied then admitted to an affair with Lewinsky, who had been a White House intern at the time. The scandal launched a lengthy investigation that ended with Clinton becoming the second president to be impeached.

Clinton told NBC News that he stuck by his decision to fight his impeachment rather than resign, telling Melvin: "I think I did the right thing. I defended the Constitution."

“Says a bit about Rhodes committees, eh?”

Didn’t he wash out? Sort of like Obama’s Nobel prize.

You let her smoke your cigar with the promise of a job. Sexual harassment.
You used your position of power over her to get sexual favors.
Sexual harassment.
Not my words, the words of feminists.
The entire feminazi establishment refused to use the words “sexual harassment” in regards to you. The media joined them. The entire democrat/media complex followed suit.

One Clinton lies.

“I never had sex with that woman….Miss Lewinsky.”

And the other one swears to it.

“I would have thought he’d at least tried to miss the blue dress.”

He did but Mr. Peyronie fooled him and arced it out sideways at the last second.

The real crimes were treason with China and bombing the Serbs among others. He got away with all of that just like his wretched wife who also belongs in prison.

Of course he would, it’s written right there in the constitution that it is his right to do that, and he’s defending the constitution!

“In other words, he’d lie today, just like he did then.”

The sumbitch will go out a lung loogey just like McCain.

He also would have brutally raped Juanita Broderick, threatened Paula Jones with loss of her job if she did not perform oral sex on him and sexually harass numerous other women.

And he had to get 6 high paying jobs for Monica Lewinsky to keep her quiet. At least for a while. And she still called him the “big creep” whenever she referred to him.

And he still would have murdered dozens of associates including Vince Foster.

And he still would have given missile technology to communist China which they passed on to North Korea.

“You let her smoke your cigar...”

I heard that Ethiopian women could do that but I didn’t know that jewish women could too.

But it revealed how witnesses were bribed to lie under oath and others intimidated into silence.

no responsibility, no shame.

Double down when being shamed by their actions.
