      Nope. Even though I'm a huge fan, this time he didn't. The whole controversy on the mentioned interview was whether Bill Clint should have resigned back then like many have had to, these days. He never touched this, and I bet that is why Clinton looks so happy and relieved by the end of the interview!

    Colbert does this, asking uncomfortable questions. I remember watching the James Franco interview when his allegations came up, and he didn't hesitate asking about it, even though it was very awkward. I think his way of asking questions is really smart, in that he realized that it may make individuals uncomfortable, but it is important that an answer comes out.

      Chris Chan sorry, which legal case and judgment are your allegations based on? I'm not defending Clinton, but in this country, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The special counsel Starr came after Clinton pretty hard but as far as i can recall Clinton was impeached by Congress for looting to grand jury about his relationship with Ms Monica. The Senate didn't impeach him so Clinton completed his term. There is no litigation or other cases brought to court. Anyhow, you can call Clinton anything you want. It's a free country.

    • @dannykumite
      @dannykumite 6 лет назад +26

      Kath Casey Allegations are not facts. While you may be right, and it may be true, i don't agree with the court of public opinion. Sometime's pubic opinion is just that, opinion. If a crime was committed, only the court could judge. Justice is not always true, but at the end of the day, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    I get that Monica was a young, impressionable woman and there was a power difference, but at the end of the day they were two consenting adults who engaged in an extra marital affair. Monica actively pursued him and in her words “fell in love with him”. Please do not confuse this with the #metoo movement.

      Lennon The Bunny very true, although I think the truly sad thing about the affair wasn’t the stupidity of it.
      It was the way that Bill could walk out of it and have it be largely ignored after a few years. To the point where he’s annoyed when it’s brought up. Where as Monica can’t. She was an intern after all, she had her entire future ruined.

      I loved every single, male, under 40’s English teacher I had from 7-15. They weren’t pervy wankers, so nothing happened. (Other than some thankfully private songs and poetry)
      I don’t know why she kept it, I’m sure there’s an article about it somewhere.
      Nevertheless, she was grilled like a criminal by republicans.
      They treated her like she’d committed some heinous crime.
      When all that had really happened was one man old enough to know better, and a woman young enough to fuck up like that, fooled around.

    What Bill and Monica did isn't a part of the me too movement. They admitted that they knew what they were doing and that there was consent. Me too is about women being taken advantage of sexually against their will or being pushed down because of their gender. 20 years ago 2 adults agreed to have an affair, were caught, and he apologized for it and is still apologizing.

      Many groups on the left are trying to push this idea that there can't be consent if there is an imbalance of power.
      In the mildest form a low level staff member can't consent to having anything sexual with their superior.
      But a lot of people even go as far as saying that a difference in income, status or age already qualifies as a factor that nullifies consent.
      It is kind of a worrying development. While there are many scumbags in position of power who use it as leverage for pressuring women into sex it also means that they are painting adult women as default victims who are unable to give consent. And it turns sexual assault and harassment from well defined concepts into fuzzy and wide ones which will ultimately stop meaning anything.
      Not to mention that it is totally out of touch with the life of us ordinary people. Lots of folks date or marry their superiors, are happy with it and it is no one's business but theirs.

    • @MetalGamer666
      @MetalGamer666 6 лет назад +67

      A lot of people end up marrying their superiors. The idea that it can never be consent if it's with a superior, is preposterous.

    • @khosrow
      @khosrow 6 лет назад +44

      The problem with that line of thinking is that you are taking the right of giving consent away from people.
      Sure there are cases where someone isn't able to say no because they can't handle pressure. But should that really be the standard of looking at the ability of adults to give or deny consent?
      It is also extremely unrealistic. People who work together will always fall in love or lust with each other have been forever.
      Don't get me wrong I agree that there is a problem with especially men using their position to pressure women into sex. But should that subset of cases be the basis of what consenting adults do with each other in their free time?

    "No matter how long ago it happened" is so true. They need to get rid of statues of limitations.

I was betrayed by everyone in my fsmily including even my mom and brother who witnessed what Dad did to me but lied to authorities. By the time I was in a safe place, had gotten the counseling I needed, and over came fears; it was too late for me to press charges against my dad for the years of crimes he had committed against me. So the legal system that should have protected me now instead protects him..

      And I find it funny that Hillary is a part of the Feminist "listen and believe" mantra, but when women would come forward before and say Bill raped them, Hillary would attack them to keep them quiet. Such lovely people, the Clintons lol
      Another thing thats funny: The left. Rape is the most horrible thing in the world and needs to be taken 100% seriously and the woman is always correct!...unless its done by someone I admire, then they deserve a second, third, and 50th chance and the women are just trying to score some free money/fame. Ya know, because they said they were "sorry".

    All things aside, I still like Bill Clinton and hope he will stump for the democrats. They'd be crazy to turn him away. He has a way of reaching out to the average American that few people have. I still think it's important to keep our eyes on identity politics and culture wars, but that's not what's going to flip Congress. In November, it's gotta be all hands on deck.

    I'm very proud of Stephen Colbert finally asking the question that we all want asked to President Clinton about the Lewinsky scandal. He apologized in his own way but it would haven been better if he contacted Monica Lewinsky to apologize to her on the phone or in person. Monica's life was ruined because of this.

The only person that should care is his wife, and since she's still with him, why do we need to talk about it? Is this really the best use of airtime?? And before someone asks me if I care about Trump's affairs... I do not. The fact that he is a shitty husband is the least of my problems with him.

Completely ignoring he paid out $850,000 in a sexual harassment settlement to Paul Jones and has been accused of assault by multiple women. Kavanaugh is getting destroyed for an allegation, but the same people give Clinton a total pass. Complete hypocrisy.

      No you can’t have it both ways. You can’t support the Me Too movement and call the women liars because Old Man Clinton apologised or said it was consensual.
      - Juanita Broaddrick accused him of raping her in 78
      - Leslie Miller accused him of sexually assaulting her in 80
      - Paula Jones accused him of both exposing himself and sexually harassing her in 91
      - Kathleen Wiley accused him of groping her without consent in 93
      You either support women who come out and say they are victims of sexual assault or you don’t support them. You can’t justify it because you like the man who did it

She may have been a young adult but she was still old enough to be responsible for her own actions. They both owed Hillary Clinton an apology for their behavior and the American people an apology for carrying on such behavior in the White House. She was just as culpable as he was. She knew what she was doing, after all she did save the blue dress.
