Former President Bill Clinton spoke out about the MeToo movement and the Monica Lewinsky scandal as NBC’s Craig Melvin sat down with him and author James Patterson, saying, “if the facts were the same, I wouldn’t” act differently today than he did at the time. “A lot of the facts have been conveniently omitted,” he says. “I defended the Constitution.”

Bill Clinton: ‘I Did The Right Thing’ During Monica Lewinsky Scandal | TODAY

[-day-at-a-time]

Bill Clinton -
Don't forget: Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick AND Paula Jones....
#ThemToo

Look at his body language, he doesn't want to be having this conversation. He is smug and appalled. Meaning:he hasn't learned a thing because he is lacking humility, growth and honesty.

[danielhowell]

When he was asked if he apologized to Monica Lewinsky, did he really say "nahyeah"? Wow, that's taking lawyer-speak to a whole new level.

[smilerpie]

he still wont truly admit anything. What a sleezy person . He will deny until his dying day. The fact that he hinted at his misfortune in all of this is despicable.

[Jon-wjxt]

"It was 20 years ago.. lets talk about JFK and LBJ" LOL WUT

[dylangatenby]

Clinton is so charismatic it's scary.
He is an amazing speaker and a genius politician.

[DeeWeber]

His reaction, so overblown and defensive, demonstrates he still hasn’t taken any responsibility. What a jerk!

[aleksc]

Time has passed but he is still the same....no inner self growth whatsoever

[coralakey]

Good for Craig for not backing down even though the situation got intense.

[deedeesmith]

What a sickening example of someone who doesn't even show an ounce of true remorse for his despicable action and his entitled cavalier attitude toward what he did. He apologized because he got caught....nothing more.

[ice_look]

Sickening lack of insight. Smugness beyond belief.

[JustBree]

there goes that finger. when he wags that finger he's telling the truth. lol.

[julietchristensen]

Ugh. The politicians of both sides make me want to vomit.

[winatime]

I feel sorry for poor James Patterson during this interview. He's just looking like, "Can we please just talk about the book?"

[HeidiPyke]

Did I accidentally click on a “how to spot a narcissist” video?

[niadonnis]

and Epstein??? looking forward to the interview with Clinton about him being on Epsteins plane 26 times

[klashy]

“I don’t owe her an apology.”

“Let’s talk about Kennedy, LBJ.”

Deflect....redirect, don’t take responsibility.

He never said I’m sorry. He talked about the sorrow he felt. Big difference. It could have been the sorrow he felt at getting caught, or the sorrow of losing Monica as a side chic.

[randyjones]

Patterson has a look on his face like: "My part in this interview is done, can I go?"

[niadonnis]

Bill "I like the Me Too movement" Clinton

[AlishaNic]

Something about him rubs me the wrong way. And this is coming from a liberal lol.
