Bill Clinton: Lewinsky Paid ‘Quite a Price’ for Affair

BY: Conor Beck Follow @cb0321 June 8, 2018 12:34 pm

Former President Bill Clinton said Thursday that former White House intern Monica Lewinsky "paid quite a price" for the affair that roiled his presidency.

PBS's Judy Woodruff followed up on widely criticized comments Clinton made Monday and asked the former president how he thought the scandal impacted Lewinsky.

"You paid a price. Do you think Ms. Lewinsky paid a higher price, a harder price?" Woodruff asked.

"Oh, I don’t know. I think she paid quite a price. But the price that I used to worry about all the time for her — and I was glad to see when she went back to school and made another career … – I was afraid that she would be frozen in the public mind for the rest of her life over what happened," Clinton said.

"And I didn’t want that for her," he said. "And I think she’s tried to build a bigger, different, broader life. And I hope she has."

The former president also showed his knowledge of Lewinsky's life by praising her television show and complimenting her "really compelling TED Talk."

Clinton came under fire this week for his answer to a question from NBC reporter Craig Melvin on Monday about whether he had apologized to Lewinsky.

It was an "Affair"?

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s tough when you’re young and no man wants ya.

[Steely Tom]

It was an "Affair"?

That’s putting it politely.

[Kickass Conservative]

If Monica had not kept that Dress, Bill and his Wife would have destroyed her.

I still shake my head knowing that Monica’s Parents being the brain dead Liberal Democrats they are defended Bill Clinton.

Bill’s only concern was for ms. Lewenski’s well being. Such a thoughtful man!

[bigbob]

She paid a hell of a price for being sexually harrassed in the workplace, ya jackwagon!

[BBQToadRibs]

I would argue, Bill, you paid quite a price too. Still are with that on your legacy.

[Buckeye McFrog]

translation: I told that d***ed b***h to burn that blue dress!

[SMARTY]

PBS’s Judy Woodruff = DNC cheerleader

[Snickering Hound]

He has a cankle fetish.

[DoughtyOne]

If you read up on it, it wasn’t an affair. It was providing a service.

Now he calls it an affair, after telling the nation for the better part of two decades, there was no sex involved.

Leftists wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on their privates.

[caww]

Thinking how interesting that ol Slick Willey is flapping his jaws STILL and on public TV stations and interviews about his affair......................wonder what Hillary thinks while this replay is happening! LOLOL

One Clinton lies.....

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

And the other Clinton swears to it.

=============================================

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 800,000 dollars.

==========================================

Did the "kindly sensitive" Clintons tell Chelsea the reason she got hustled off (in that " Clinton solidarity pose" on the vintage TIME cover?) Did mom and dad tell her daddy got a BJ in the Oval office? Did they explain the details of a BJ to Chelsea?

[Liz]

Linda Tripp was lacerated for coming forward; she has said she was astounded at the "Power of The Two"......
Hill/Bill performing their "Solidarity Act" and exculpating themselves from the sex mess.

Not to be forgotten: Bill getting lewinskied thrust (pun intended) Hillary into national positioning----something she
desperately wanted. Bill apparently had held her back "til it was her turn." Now, overnight, Hillary was at the
top and she grabbed every opportunity.

Maybe Hillary calculated she could help usher the lewinskied Bill out the door,
and fulfill her dream.....of being a presidential candidate.

Thanks Sub-Driver. The problem isn't the coverage the MSM/drive-bys/partisan media shills are giving this now, the problem was and is the coverage they didn't give it then. ANY Republican would have been hounded right out of office. The media's current sudden interest absolves the *******s of nothing. ABC hired Snuffleupagus right out of the Clinton White House and that slimy lying weasel remains on the air.

Wikipedia has her making $1.8 million at least.

Linda Tripp was lacerated for coming forward

She should be admired as one of the very few FedGov employees who was willing to risk her cushy job and her benefits to do the right thing.

Wish we had some Linda Tripps at the FBI these days.

I was afraid that she would be frozen in the public mind for the rest of her life over what happened... And I didn’t want that for her," he said. "And I think she’s tried to build a bigger, different, broader life. And I hope she has."

Though the overwhelming majority of his fellow politicians are phonies, Bill Clinton somehow manages to be the phoniest phony of 'em all. The man ain't stupid. He know darned well that being "frozen in the public mind for the rest of her life over what happened" is EXACTLY what did happen to "that woman, Miss Lewinsky." To pretend that Lewinsky has somehow moved beyond it is such a blatantly false, shameless statement that it could only have come from a true master of shamelessness and prevarication.

[Alberta's Child]

I saw a quote from Lewinsky's father during the height of the scandal that was so pathetic I would have volunteered to euthanize the loser. The moron actually thought Clinton was going to marry his daughter, and he said something along these lines: "When I learned about their relationship I was staggered by the thought that President Clinton might soon be my son-in-law."

WTF?

[TBP]

She’s the only one.
