“We all bring baggage to life, and sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do and it was awful what I did.'

Hillary and Bill Clinton both opened up about details of the extramarital affair he had more than 20 years ago with Lewinsky, then a White House intern.

In this Dec. 3, 1995, file photo, President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton pose at the White House with some of the volunteers who decorated the White House for Christmas.Clinton says his sexual transgressions were a way to take his mind off the burdens of being president. “Everybody’s life has pressures and disappointments, terrors, fears of whatever,” he says.

Bill Clinton says he felt uneasy about the fact that Lewinsky’s name had become synonymous with the affair -- often called the Monica Lewinsky scandal -- explaining that he “feels terrible” her life had become defined by it. "Bye-bye, Lewinsky scandal ... I think 20 years is enough time to carry that mantle," Lewinsky said in a 2018Clinton's explanations for the affair upset commentators on Twitter, some noting he could have tried using medication rather than taking up with Lewinsky, who has said the affair was consensual. Others joked about more common nervous habits such as biting one's thumb.

Sounds legit. Shooting a load on a 22 year old is known to relieve stress.

You know, that was also the reason Harvey Weinstein used! Small world!

Still haven’t apologized to MonicaLewinsky

👍

I feel you..

He disgraced the office, until Trump came along and took an absolute dump on it.

Get the f out of here. WhT a poor excuse.

Emotional support affairs are now a thing?

He who have no sins cast the first stone, at least he has admitted he's mistakes, who's next?

It was deplorable

Shame on you, Clinton’s

What about 27 trips on Epstein’s plane?

Yes. Sure. I don’t believe that. That’s yet another lie. How naive does he think Americans are ?

Evidently Joan Muwahed is a Hillary supporter who refuses to accept the fact she lost. Why else would she write an article about Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton & anything pertaining to these two irrelevant people?

Finally he calls his wife what she is, baggage.

So proud of Bill Clinton the democrat president so presidential he was NOT

What about all your other affairs,then Being married to Hillary was so stressful

🤣🤣🤣👆👆🤣🤣🤣

That’s okay Bill you’re a dem so you’re automatically forgiven for your bad behavior

What he did personally is no one's business. Dozens of politicians are fucking interns and having affairs. He was impeached because he was too efficient in getting this country back on track after Republican financial fuck ups.

I can't stand both of them ...... Even more now. He was always cheating and didn't care if he was caught. She knew he was cheating and she blamed the other women instead of her awful husband.

YES, it was VERY INAPPROPRIATE from a President of the United States of America!!!!

Not a Billary fan, but a lot of stone casting going on here.

You can thank your wife for protecting u all these years, as she has for other predators.

Lying and cheating most your life, to reduce anxiety? Those behaviors are anxiety producing. So that's a weird take even though it sounds like something unpacked in therapy.

BillClinton HillaryClinton The entire corrupt Clinton family has enough baggage that should’ve put you both in jail! Too bad you keep eliminating all the witnesses. Benghazi Epsteindidntkillhimself Liars

I don't believe cheating on a wife many times thru out your life has anything to do with reducing anxiety. Sounds like a lie and an issue with lying. On top of being a habitual adulterer. Therapists can help unpack those flaws and the issues that drive them.

Yes, we all have baggage, but is it a carry-on or a whole trolley?

HOW IS YOUR OLD FLING MONACA & TRUE LOVE OVER PIZZA ?

You, Bill, don’t have anxieties; you have uncontrolled desire. Like Carter w/lust & Kennedy w/fanciful needs - there must be something to the Presidency (too much pressure; needs release); so Media, don’t pick on Trump! He’s been a good man while President! He works all the time!

LET IT DIE! STOP RESURRECTING THE PAST. POOR MONICA - YOU KEEP CRUCIFYING HER EVERY TIME YOU BRING HER UP - OR IS IT JEALOUS HILLARY WHO KEEPS STOKING THE FIRE. Bill really did have a “thing” for Monica! She is attractive. 🥰

Maybe he should have been “managing his anxieties” with his wife. Seriously Bill I’m pretty sure we all know why you were messing with Monica and everyone else too.

“ To manage my anxieties created by my vicious wife. “

I wish I can use that excuse lol

Where’s the ABC Fact Check on this? Riiiiiiight.

PS - You used this girl to ease your anxieties? Anxiety about your crooked dingle dangle, I presume!😂

I have anxiety but don’t go outside marriage to release that anxiety. Shame on you taking advantage of a young girl from your position of power!

Yep! With every single woman, it was “awful”what you did. Too late with too little to try to soften the public to your unscrupulous legacy! You and your wife make quite a pair in the accountability department!

Whooooo cares! That was how long ago? It was an affair, yes it does leave hurt, victims, and baggage but it's not like he killed someone or put the US at risk because he wasn't a good husband. Move on already.

Yup, they're getting ready for a run. Good God, help us all. HillaryClinton BillClinton

Twitter is such a vile place.

Baggage? Hillary has more than baggage in her life.

He was 'in the dog house' at home. Made his way through.

I wish he would just stop talking about it already!!

Shame on hulu for supporting the sexual predator, Bill Clinton, and his power-hungry wife, Hillary, who both suppressed women. Their abuses of power included being wiretapping clients of Pellicano, famed FBI case. ClintonCrimeFamily ClintonBodyCount

And you brought the biggest bag ever to the White House.

Was Hillary that stressful?

KenStar94038434 So BillClinton, you would have no issues with anyone using your female family members to “relieve anxiety” now would you?

Has Drumpf had any insights into his sexual failings as a husband?

He only needs to apologize once. I want to know what has happened with danney_williams now. Is he or isn't he. Fuck the rest of the dumb shit they talkin about. Is the ADOS ever going to get his answer?

Well get ready folks with all this coming out Hillary is up to something!

Man the ratio

Thankful every day Mr. Anxiety BillClinton is NOT back in our White Hiuse.

They will say and do anything for “greed”.

Legacy damage control lol he will still go down as a good president but a scumbag

I usually go shoot aliens or zombies.

Bullshit

Oh, I guess that makes it okay.

What a terrible objectification of monica Lewinsky.

disgraceful, still cannot admit he was wrong & acknowledge he had physical & emotional relationship with this very young lady for HIS benefits !

Oh here I am taking medication and working with a therapist to keep mine at a reasonable level since I have severe generalized anxiety disorder but all this time I just had to have an affair. Huh my husband will be so happy to know that.

You look back you think to yourself.....I can't believe I voted for him.

Let the guy alone! They both got off on it! More so her in my opinion. Drop it. Really now, how the hell actually cares? Probably the religious right and the dont touch me women.

That’s the least of the criminal activity.

“Manage anxieties”, that’s a good one. I’ll have to try that the next time I get in trouble. The truth is that he abused a female subordinate; of which, he is a multiple time offender. That shouldn’t be a crutch, it should be a crime.

Takes 2

I like Bill, I Fing HATE Hillary

Whatever you have to say to make it right.

Bill attempts to rehab his image while HRC attempts to get back in ....

Still not taking responsibility

Now that's funny. 😭

Finally Willy J has gotten around to facing reality. What about the other women, Bill?

At least Clinton didn’t try to screw US!

Sounds like something a liberal would say. He raped women, FYI.

Occupying the most powerful office on the globe; nuclear weapons at your disposal; an army of people to do your bidding waiting just outside your door; and you sought out a vulnerable & impressionable intern to relieve your anxieties? Come better than that Bill!!

His name isn’t Slick Willy for nothing. What a classless piece of work.

Awful was the lie that wasted time not the head bob n weavers, the fact ppl put more thought into the sexual appointments of personal vs the Fraudulent Negligible Acts of personal/committees is Disturbing

Clinton ~a total looser!! And his wife a mafia ma.

But it was wonderful what she did he thinks to himself

And don't forget about the woman lioness.......... They're just as vicious as the male lion............ That's why they're all single all around the world. all different nationalities, But there is a simple fixxxxxxx

Just got to hit it once to calm the nerves

No no no no no no no no no no no no no when you marry a man born in August........... I will try to destroy your internal organs.

That's his personal Bellow the belt business. That's on him and his vow to his wife and God. If he did love her like the church He let it burn.

So Kenneth Starr decided to railroad you because of it. We had to suffer through the impeachment proceedings on a morals charge that should’ve been between you and your wife. Yet the current fool is guilty of worse and is exonerated.

Oh please

Was he anxious on Epstein’s island?

Covering for this jerk again?

Dear Bill and Hillary, Please go away now.

🤦🏾‍♂️

Who cares

I’m not saying the guy is not the blame to

He’s good with words

Did Bill Clinton just admit he was wrong? Only took decades...

Stop giving these two scumbags print or airtime News. Sick and tired of the Clintons and their crap.

And God told Mark David Chapman to kill John Lennon. 🙄

Silly excuse to a big sin

Bill Clinton is the president who gave true meaning to 'White House' !

It would be nice if Hillary's accomplishments could be recognized without everything Bill. It just demeans her role as a strong, intelligent woman and portrays her as a victim.

He should of kept it out of the White House

This isn't news, just a tired story of misused power & entitlement. There is no excuse.

Typical male remark.

Wait he did or didn’t have s$x with ML

what were all his other affairs for? What a scumbag...yes I said it!

What utter BS ! All this for new Hillary movie. Go away Clinton Machine

He was referring to HillaryClinton as his baggage

he kept doing it, until one night HillaryClinton took a hammer and broke bill's dick...bill can't rape anymore women

Everything I do wrong in my life, I will just say it was to help with my anxieties.

I wonder how Jennifer Flowers feels about this? Didn't she spend 20 plus years with him.

誰能做得好嗎?

Yup that’s what happen when you cheat on your spouse

Says every cheating man ever 🙄 I understand that anxiety is a real issue, how you manage it is completely a choice. With that being said, his personal life should have been left out of a determination on whether he could run the country effectively.

JERK.

Most affairs do that!

What about the other affairs/flings he had prior to Monica? Was he managing his anxieties then also? His wife should have been the one he could talk to about anxiety. I faulted Hillary for staying with Bill. A political partner in Bill more important than a faithful marriage.

I like Bill Clinton. I like Hillary Clinton. What he did to ML was wrong. I like Bill Clinton. I like Hillary Clinton. Looking at the totality of their lives, they benefited many.

Very lame and not honest answer. Anxiety my ass. Hilary got him trained good thse days.

I am from Blue flag to President Trump Reelection! The best President for all AMERICA is Trump! Just believe on him, Mr.President Trump!!!

Bill’s baggage is Hill & vice versa. They deserve each other.

Perhaps many Americans, and not just staff in the White House, were very lucky that at this difficult moment, Monica happened to be close to him. It's scary to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't found this ' way to manage his anxieties.”

Bill and Hillary continue to demean and diminish the feeling of those they have used and hurt, all to make themselves feel better, unload and move on. Their redemption should occur privately at this point in life. Geez.

But sure did enjoy it.

He still did not apologize to Monica Lewinsky

Deep Throat

....and all this time I’ve been managing my stress with diet and exercise. Who knew? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Creep!!

She's running. She's airing all her dirty laundry from Bill in interviews & documentaries. Even Slick Willy is confessing his sins. Of course it won't be as before. The fake news know how they over covered Trump & failed Hillary. They will bombard the airwaves, but likability?

Jokes

Too little to late. Did you ever apologize to Monica for taking advantage of a 20 yr old? Did you ever acknowledge that you raped Juanita?

There is a Franco-Belgian proverb suitable for this case: ''Les excuses sont faites pour s'en servir et les cons sont faits pour les croire.''

Corrected Headline: Bill Clinton was horny and wanted his dick sucked by a young woman.

Yeah I need a Tonguinsky to manage mine too

I have anxieties now, any girl want to help me out?

Something to hide? Trump's lawyers are urging a judge to halt a lawsuit from a woman seeking Trump's DNA to help prove her claim that he raped her in the 1990s.

Fuck, why do still have to hear from the Clinton's?

Asking self: why on earth is this topic up for discussion now? Puzzling....

Managing his anxieties.

When I'm anxious I too like to bang my interns with a nice cigar... calms me right down.

I supported him all through impeachment because I knew the hypocrisy in using that as their excuse to get rid of him, but man, There. Is. No. Excuse. None. You don’t get to keep getting a pass. No excuse. If you really want to heal your soul, tell the world about Lolita Express.

Dude it’s not baggage. It’s disgusting, criminal acts in the Oval Office of the USA as the leader of the free world. The Clintons see themselves as above the rest of society

I have never heard of having multiple affairs to handle anxieties. Stupid excuse. Simply say you were horny and move on.

Now explain Epstein Island.

She was young and pretty, he was the president sliding into middle, middle age. They were into each other. Everyone knows why it happened. The real question is, why, when they got caught he tried to hide the truth. He should have owned it right away and delt with it.

If Trump said these words...... But, Bill is a Democrat so he gets a pass. Hell, if he was younger, he would be their nominee. Now about those Jeffrey Epstein trips...

He’s scum.

I don’t understand why the me to movement isn’t after him.I think he would be as big a candidate as Harvey Weinstein.I wonder where all the outraged prosecutors and Gloria Allred are hiding on this one?

SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM only works in two places : Heaven where they don't need it, and Hell where they already have it.

Didn’t he have a job to keep him busy? He’s an ass.

Still a 🐷

Thoughts and prayers for Billy boy

I thought that leading quote was in reference to him marrying Hillary

Gross people.

Honestly it’s completely understandable that he cheated on that vile woman. Anyone would. It’s just sad he brought a young woman down doing it.

Clinton lamely excuses his fling with Monica by saying he needed a diversion from his worries & relief from anxiety. That worked out REAL well for him, didn't it?

Now tell us about Jeffery Epstein! ABC 'news' doesn't want to go there.

If a man ever had 'anxiety', especially waking up with a pillow stuffed of his face, it was & is Pres. Bill Clinton.

Bill didn’t stroke himself and Weinstein didn’t kill himself.

They have medications for that, Sir.
