That’s not a lie. Does making a vague apology to misremembered unintentional bad behavior, 12 years ago, constitute a lie?
I thought lies were deliberate untruths, used mostly to absolve oneself of blame. (See: Bill and Hillary).
I have to ask what the difference between your argument and if oral sex is really sex comes down to. Do you even have a clue how low you are going trying to defend a guy that lied? A guy that took an active role in wiping conservatives from power in the GOP?
Do you care about truth? Do you care he blurted out a fake apology to make the issue simply go away? Why are you on a conservative site?
