Roundtable: Bill Clinton Was ‘Defensive’ About Monica Lewinsky Questions | Megyn Kelly TODAY
![Rich Dunk (Ft. DaBaby) - BIG DAWG [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pz2ewsSKAEM/mqdefault.jpg)
Lewinsky has taken more responsibility than he ever did and paid a significantly higher price. He 100% took advantage of her and kept his job while she was a pariah.
Oh please. She cashed on it and appears to love the fame.
@@igloozoo3771 Good point 👌
Really?
She was impeached?
She was disbarred from practicing law?
Her husband's presidential campaign was ruined because of it?
How so? He was constantly lambasted over it by the media and politicians and ultimately got impeached. Most people today only know him for the scandal so his image has been basically permanently ruined.
Wait a minute...if NOT for the "stained" dress he'd STILL be saying it NEVER happened ...c'mon seriously
Do you think when Donald is caught with his gonorrhea-reformatted DNA diaper down, he will still cry OBAMA!!!! HILLARY!!!! WITCH HUNT!!!!????
LizzyLiberty I hope so but first things first bill has got away with this to long and hillary covering up.
Bring back Ron paul 2020
LizzyLiberty lol... you liberal hysteric you.
I really enjoy watching that dirtball squirm a little. HAHAHAH
1.Clearly we still do not understand how workplace harassment works and what "taking advantage of your position and power" means.
2. People who call Monica a "home wrecker", FYI, people IN the marriage wreck their own marriages, not third parties. How do we know Bill and Hilary's marriage was not already over before Monica even came into the picture? How do we know Bill did not make it seem like his marriage was an open marriage to Monica? Its sad that the world convinced her to apologise to Hilary...Monica did not need to apologise to ANYONE.
3. Monica Lewinsky was made to sign contracts to not share her side of the story for a decade which was basically Clinton's abuse of power, denied jobs in her field everywhere in USA...shamed for her entire life, bullied, harassed, trashed, eventually she moved to London and studied social psychology at LSE to understand what happened to her..she tried to share her story now to help others who have been victim of shaming and bullying survive the pain.
My wife is a filipino who was struggling, and im a finacially comfortable canadian. Basically you implied that i took advantage of my wife. Fyi she is 27 and im 30 and weve been married 4 years
I can never understand men who have daughters they cherish but then harm someone else's daughter.
Amen
The only women he hurt is his wife. Monika was completely infatuated with him
He didn’t want this to come out.
Crazy how he & his family have been able to move forward without losing a bit of his credibility. They never had to face the public humiliation she did. It was all her fault.
Makes me sick.
They including Chelsea faced public humiliation. He did not pay the price fir perjury he got off. When he did the 2018 statement regarding this he said it was wrong and a big mistake, I am glad she ( Hillary) was willing to stick it out but he did not not say I am so sorry for what I did to her( Hillary)
I'm crying about poor Bill being $16 million in debt. 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻
He was too defensive about it. He absolutely owed Monica lewinski an apology but it’s too late now. His narcissism was on full display in this interview. “Did you ever apologize to Monica Lewinski?” And he replied “no, yes I apologized to everyone publicly” well, no you didn’t apologize to her or yes you did? There is a big difference between a public “blanket” apology and a sincere “I’m sorry for/I....” narcissists are not capable of a real apology and feeling remorseful for the hurt and pain they caused. The only thing he is sorry for is that he got caught and that 20 years later with the Me Too movement it is being brought up again.
exactly! Typical narcissistic behavior. He picked the perfect wife too. Also a psychopathic narcissist. They would do just about anything to be in power. Why can't they just go to an island and disappear already?
Anne Liesveld
Hello there, Monica was already an adult. She is no victim, and this is coming from a woman who was once in her shoes long time ago. People need to take responsibility for their own mistakes.
To be fair, each and everyone of them; Bill, Hillary and Monica need to apologize to themselves, learn and forgive.
Anne Liesveld I agree!! Preach!!!
Mikala H Monica does not deserve an apology. She was a 23 yr old women, and old enough to make smarter decisions. She did not have to (under her words) tell Bill in a private setting “I have a huge crush on you” and admitting that she wore her clothes and thongs a certain way to get his attention. The only reason why this consenting relationship was revealed to the public was because Monica Lewinsky told Linda Trapp. Linda just wanted fame. Please gather the facts from the respective people. Monica is only feeling guilty for how America has reacted to her but you need to watch her in the Clinton affair show. I think it’s very irresponsible for people to make this about 1 person. Both sides were extremely wrong, apologies were correctly given to all of us for wasting our time with this stupid nonsense instead of worrying about big issues in America.
@@rowdyturner5908 For ruining her life. For making her suicidal, for dragging her name through the mud. And MOST OF ALL, for wagging his finger in America's face and calling her a liar!
What facts is he talking about? He's king of changing the subject. He seriously thinks he did nothing wrong.
He’s a malignant narcissist.
he didn’t this is something that should of been between him n his wife it’s too personal not for the whole world i love bill clinton n hilary clinton he gave my father his citizenship
what are the "facts" that he is talking about? the facts don't help him, they hurt him. how come the interviewer isn't pointing that out?
Because it is a NBC interviewer, you really didn't expect any push to the truth !
Which fact do we have wrong Mr. Clinton?
The "facts" are Monica blew Bill nine times and Bill shoved a cigar up Monica's box.
Body language says it all....folding his arms right away in defense. You can tell he's uncomfortable.
'I did not have sexual relations with that women'. 😂
and he lost 16 million ! Is that why Hillary had to return the stolen items from the WH??? And what about the " Clinton Foundation Fund"???
Richard Blake
Politics is so corrupt, it's actually a disgrace
The journalist was using REAL FACTS NOT LIES
woman*.
cigars don't count.
n he didn’t they messed around lol 😂
Let's focus on that alleged 16 million in debt and now worth a billion. How did that happen Bill.
Clinton can point his finger all he wants. He makes me SICK
Everyone realizes that Bill also had/has accusers, right?
And very soon they'll all be either dead or ''missing'' so who cares? ^^
You mean victims.
If you cared about victims, focus on Trump's 937 victims, so far "only" 30+ have come forth. Thanks to Cohen/Stormy style death/ legal threats.
He won't even publicly acknowledge his mixed son. Where did that go?
@@georgemiser But they haven't!
Craig Melvin is actually a very good and fair reporter. Which makes it weird that NBC gives shows to Joy Reid and Al Sharpton.
Seems like a cool guy too
I think Craig Melvin did a great job with this interview.
Forget Monica how about Juanita Brodderick
Becky Brown
Helen Dowdy
Elizabeth Ward Gracen
Sandra Allen James
Paula Corbin Jones
Carolyn Moffet
Eileen Wellstone
Kathleen Wille
Christy Zercher
Sandra Allen James
H1X2N4 Katherine Willey's cat
Monica was the one, who was exposed to the whole world. The other ladies, were not known globally. That's not being disrespectful to them, or decrying their suffering and pain. But we hadn't heard of them, till they were present, at the Trump, Hillary debate. Watching from Sydney Australia.
If he was a Republican he would be exposed by every media outlet as a Predator especially with his relationship with Jeffery Epstein and the island of Children Bill visited often!! It's amazing how the media covers up and protects liberals like the Clinton's & Kennedy's who are monsters that should be in prison!!!
I did not have nothing but women leaders..he said.
Freaky tales
“I wish I had prepped him “ means you wish you could have helped him lie so he wouldn’t make a fool of himself and come across as insensitive and unsympathetic. He doesn’t regret what he did to her, he just regrets that he got caught and impeached
No sympathy her her. She was a home wrecker before and didn't learn her lesson. She knew what she was getting into.
@@47imagine As did he. Had he kept it in his pants, none of this would have happened.
Have not been for Linda Tripp, Bill Clinton would still look like a little angel
@@47imagine I agree. Don't forget that it was HER idea!
lol give me a break im sure him and weinstein gave eachother high 5s
No. Trump would outdo Weinstein and Nassar combined. He is a winner like that.
go back in your hole lizzy
LizzyLiberty zzs😄😄🎅😜😜😜😨📹📹📹📹📹📹📹📹😂
*_Bill looked so bad!! He should’ve just shut his mouth!! Just like Hillary!! No heart!! Tf is wrong with him!!?? He totally missed the point.._* 🙄🙄🙄
This interview does him no service, if he wasn’t found out he would’ve never admitted it. Deflecting the questions to the interviewer makes him look unsympathetic, this was a wasted opportunity on his part.
The Moral of the Story: "When one plays with fire they get burned." Amen.
"2/3 of the American population sided with me." oh honey...
Um he’s right.
James Patterson: "it's 20 years ago, come on!" - variable on the classic Nazi officer excuse.
An affair is not on the same level. Grow up.
Wow he still dancing around it trying to lie out of it. She was young intern he was married man in power he knew what he was doing. He just wanted to save his own skin and his family. Monica got slammed as the mitress he should just contact her and say i am sorry.
😂😂😂
So what if he was powerful? She wanted him and she got him.
He was the POTUS. She was an intern and he was the boss. She has no family of her own and a net worth of 500,000 USD. While that is not bad I dare say it doesn't really amount to making money off of anything. That is a relatively modest networth considering how well known she is to the public. He should have told the press to back off but instead he was abusive and allowed his wife to be publicly abusive towards this woman. The Clintons are animals!!!!
There are lots of power inequalities in relationships. I lived with a girlfriend for years in her flat. At any time, night or day, she could have thrown me out and I'd have been homeless. That's a lot of power, but she didn't abuse it so it was fine. Some people look after a partner during serious illness. They could abandon them, which is also a lot of power over a person. Did Bill Clinton threaten or force Monica Lewinsky? No, it was consensual. Power inequality is not a synonym of abuse or exploitation.
That one lady is dancing around it because she is literally paid by the DNC and Clintons to prop them up and smear leftist democrats. That's her only job. Prop up the Clintons and establishment, and smear progressive populist politicians....
Wow, I never knew Bill was as good at twisting words and the Truth as his wife.... what a perfect match! Gross!
"Birds of a feather flock together."
Had he resigned the office wouldn’t have been denigrated to such a degree that we ended up with trump
The others guys face is like omg he just watching he just watching good reporter to hammer the questions at him.
Hahahaha he agrees with the “me too” movement!!! I couldn’t stop laughting. You didn’t care about women when you flew on Epstein’s jet did you? Hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
I like the me too movement. Lol
James Patterson should've stayed outta that mess
She was a decent person Monica could of tooken him to court but she didnt. Her life will never be the same for what he did to her.
You mean "... TAKEN him to court." "Tooken" is not a word.
He still is "skirting around" the issue. Apologizing in a press interview is NOT the same as apologizing TO the person you harmed. He is so slippery. Also, how does one "ignore gaping facts" one is not aware of?? Listen to his words. "I have never talked to her but I did apologize publically." Sorry Mr. President. Your words don't cut it. Remember.... YOU lied under oath.
That's not how the world works honey, I''; bet your own father or grandfather did the same thing...so stop judging
His refusal to take responsibility for his actions is unconscionable,.
I will say he was SUPER defensive after all this time has passed 🤔
"How _dare_ you desecrate the beloved Clinton name?! Who do you think you are? You're new at NBC, aren't you? You'll NEVER work in media again! I'll make sure of that, buddy boy!"
Megyn Kelly asks great questions. Indeed, today's climate would judge Clinton's behaviour quite differently than the 90s did. 2/3 might have been with him then - I doubt the majority would side with him today.
Bill was not prepared for that question.
look at his body language
How is he sitting there being DEFENSIVE?!?! It is unfortunate and disgusting that he got away with so much and Hilary right by his side because her leaving him would be admitting everything he has done to those women is true. But she will still stand by his side because she doesn’t want to look stupider!
Bodylanguage says all! HE IS LYING!
Why is Mitch McConnell sitting with Bill Clinton during this interview??
How little truth and so much hypocrisy! Still lying about his philandering, equally disgusting and despicable currently
This is a situation that won't end! It will live on forever! You can't escape from the Monica's Affairs Bill Clinton.
He just as guilty he lied under oath about it and still trying to dance around it. He probably charming too she may have really fell for his charms. People still pick her apart yeah it takes two to tango yeah sure her reputation has sufferred. Her career got tarnished but he kept presidency till the end.
he basically said that hurt my finances so its ok I got that..... feeling sorry for him tactic
This interview is very well done. The interesting thing that came out of this is the book. Oh to be a fly on the wall. Clinton, not so well done. Great show!
"Gaping" Really? LOLOLOL!!!
I remember when I was a kid and I pointed out that someone else had done something worse than I did. The question was simply, “ If they jumped off a cliff would you jump off one too?”
What bill did is between him and his wife. End of story
I have not heard "I am sorry"...you having sorrow is not the same thing...you should be ashamed for who you thing you are...
The thing is... a decent human being would have given Monica a face to face apology at least once in the past 20+ years for having denied it and calling her "that woman", and for abusing his status and position and using it to manipulate some young woman just to get his rocks off. Instead he made a blanket apology and bunched her into a bunch of words so he could check the box and say he apologized.
Again...a decent human being would have done that....I think that pretty much sums up the type of human being Bill is not...decent.
Apologize for what?
She knew he was a married man. She should apologize to his family for trying to destroy it.
If he has only apologized privately to ML, he had been judged and asked for a public apology. Damned if he did, damned if he didn’t. He did very wrong given his position back then, but also he did govern well and left the country stable and economically strong. Both of them have paid a price for their mistake and the mess they made. He will be remembered, though, for his good governance, his ability to lie and ML scandal.
Its really weird how unbiased they are...
To defend yourself is not the same as being "defensive," which presumes attack before one exists.
Bill Clinton was always a crook and Hillary was a cheap wanna be... Bill and hillary MURDERED Vince FOSTER
Not 'I like the Me Too movement' lmaoooo
People should be asking about what he did with Paula Jones. That is far worse than Monica Lewinsky
'I didn't have sexual relationship with that woman, Monica Lewinsky '
Before and after Bill's time in the office, the faces of our nation have had their accusations and appointed/worked with people who also did and are still making our laws today. This was the groundwork for the long overdue #MeToo.
How does he know that 2 3rd's of America was on his side?? It was his last term. I got a feeling that if he was up for re-election after that the American people wouldn't have been with him.
For sure. He acts like everyone in America was asked "was you ok with what Bill Clinton did" and everyone 2 3rds said yes we are ok with it. How dumb does he think America is. That's what's insulting to me. They probably messed around with the polls to get a good result so he can hopefully let it all settle down. He's a slime ball for sure.
Nafta and Willy's Willy was his down fall
Bill: My Little Willie really liked Monica !!!! He is a Vulcan....He cannot lie !!!
Look at him smirking and carrying on; what a complete disgrace.
He claims 2/3 of the American public sided with him? Are you kidding me?
Sixteen million in debt and stolen Whitehouse furniture.
He was going to say I do no owe her an apology
Not defensive, tired of the same question for 20 years!
Hypocrites!! And I am not speaking about the Clintons. I am speaking about people who judge as if they never made a mistake.
The man has been punished, impeached, judged and laughed at enough. What else do you want?
I feel so bad for this otheruy in the interview , he just wanted to talk about a book and was not ready for this lol
I feel like the world to becoming sane again
16 million in debt? How did you get back on your feet?
B Joyce “donations” to the Clinton Foundation
Just syphon off $$ from their "non- profit."
President _CHUMP._
I love it.
I don’t think I’d want to be alone with him for an apology
He is sorry that he got caught I don't think he's all that sorry for what he did had he not gotten caught
Him & Hillary should try get a buy one-get one free eye job. Both of them have horrific bags under their eyes
No amount of charity can heal what he did. Paterson it is 20 years. I am appalled. Look at the body language. Lier lier pants on fire
What about the life you destroyed? Did you think about that? You only think about 16 million dollars.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness....I'm certainly not perfect and I have made plenty of mistakes in my life. I'm grateful for every opportunity to move to pass my wrongs and concentrate on my future.
Not to forget, Bill presided over longest peace and prosperity time and left the federal budget in surplus.
Why do people care so much about this. There's so many more things to talk about. Strange.
@8:05 Zerlina typically blaming potus as a scapegoat for Bill Clinton's behavior
Slick Willy is awful! The Clinton’s need to go away to the old folks home!
He is slick tho
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Pathetic...
such a shame that these caliber of people can determine the shape of the entire world. Why, then, we are we ever surprised about the world's affairs. There is such a small group who resisted the corruption of power throughout millennia
Well
We shall see what comes next on this blue planet...
I, I, I, I. Too many "I". LOL
And he'd do it again and again and etc etc etc
No more Patterson books for me m
My guess is that he's not smoking p-soaked cigars anymore. I thought that was a little more funny than the infamous "stain".
Finally a commentator who did not take sides.
He was a womanizer- and he should apologize directly to Monica bc she was treated horribly.
He is so much smoother talking and better at explaining things than Hillary, her interview came across as cold and harsh whereas Bill can come off, BEING THE ONE WHO DID IT, as logical.
He NEVER apologized to Monica!
Hahaha now this was impeachable
Bill Clinton did the affairs while working in the Oval Office. Donald Trump did the supposedly affairs while still a businessman. That is the difference.
Never buying another James Patterson book again!
Can we talk about the fact that they brought a Clinton campaign staffer on during the interview to try and defend him, and she got smoked by the one lady
LOL - The fact ... the facts. The former womanizer keeps referring to "the facts" but never actually sheds light on any so called "facts." There was a time where this man could easily lie to the public ... Now not so much.
you're a moron
Mikhail Salzberg nope you are
YES Megyn!!!
It was consensual. You don't get to play "victim" later.
Mikhail Salzberg he was the PRESIDENT
And?
Mikhail Salzberg its a big sin
Totally agree. She did not give a crap about him being married or that he had a baby. He is also a piece of crap for having the affair.
Monica was consensual. But the others weren't
