Former President Bill Clinton says he did not expect Justice Ginsburg to become “a cultural icon,” but “the more I think about the less surprised I am, because in a time where people are so cynical, (she) symbolizes everything that’s best about America.”

ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos, who served as a senior adviser to Clinton in the White House from 1993 to 1996, asked the former president how Ginsburg's tenure on the court surprised him.

"She was only different as I never anticipated she would become, later in her life, a cultural icon and we'd all be doing her exercise routine," he said.Former President Bill Clinton speaks during the funeral of late Civil Rights leader John Lewis at the State Capitol in Atlanta, Ga., on July 30, 2020.

I love you Bill Clinton, the best POTUS ever! ImYou were a progressive President, the world was changing and you moved right along with it.

We’ve lost some truly great Americans this year. Their contributions and legacies will forever be honored.

No dought RBG was disgusted by you and your exploitation and numerous sexual assaults on women.

congrats to a great pick, condolences to her family and friends left behind, she will be missed like John Lewis is for African americans and mostly people of color

This isnot Clinton is a clone or double... Only see the faces...

Commentary from a sex trafficking customer huh? Can we hear what the cuties director and producers think about her next?

The death of the honorable justice RBG is also symbolic of what’s currently happening to the 🇺🇸, which is a being, Who possesses many of the worst characteristics of any American, is killing the things that make 🇺🇸 great.

neetnanny So you call her great?hahaha... her life was lived in vain.. the world recognises her ,sick stuff as great.. ohhh man this world is twisted

I agree because if the commonman commonwealth class in American can’t get back on their feet , then this place call home for many colors of faces then what are we choosing JoeBiden realDonaldTrump to run this government people are stressed from every Aspect poor whites, ect

😂🤮😂🤮😂 The last time I gave a 💩about what Bill Clinton thought was...Never! However, Bitter, spiteful, hateful and mean is what RGB was. WAS...Replace her. AmyBarrett

Justice Ginsburg deeply affected millions. We feel like we lost a family member most likely because she treated everyone as if we were her family to care about, support, protect & empower. Let's please give her a proper burial & bereavement time before we discuss her replacement.

Bill Clinton

Making sure Planned Parenthood can keep slaughtering unborn babies is not what is best about America. This hagiography from the Left makes me barf.

Bill Clinton Sucks

Beg to differ.

That’s fine. She’s dead. Replace her.

Okay, after being hit with all the Doofus Donald and Trumpies' deflections on Obama, Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton, everyone must admit there's a bit of humor in Bill Clinton's talk. You know it and see it. I'm not the only one. But somethings need not be said. Just saying.

Abc so when u play the emmys how many biden ads and with host promote biden and cute up and disrespect President Trump. You approve it you push it. when Never happened in Obama presidency. worst network. VoteRedToSaveAmerica VoteRED2020RemoveEveryDemocrat Abc

So abc will show blowjob bill response and candidate biden but not our Current President Trumps Kind words. Sick news station. at least be fair. but on yeah u can’t. which is why i will never turn on ur station and haven’t in 3 yrs.

Bill originally wanted Monica.

SHUT UP BILL. YOU KNOW YOU ARE LYING. Soon the World will know who you are. We are weeks away to the BRUTAL TRUTH THAT WILL SHAKE THE PLANET. PRACTICALLY. EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IS A LIE. I MEAN EVERYTHING. Example: This is 2220 but you believe it 2020. U R 200 years behind.

Was that before or after bjs in the Whote House?

like football and cold beer?

Oh the pediphile

Thanks ABC for giving us the opinion of a rapist.

You people on the left should be charged with elder abuse. Your worship of her and propping her up is abusive. She should have retired, been at home with her family, but you egged her on, she had free will, but I’m holding the left responsible. Elder abuse, the same with Biden

Bill only thought about cigars pathetic

Bill Clinton likes kids.

Her dying wish!

Not sure if abortion is the 'best about America'.

Welcome to the broadcast

Well if a pedophile rapist likes her, she must be a great person! Can we also get Weinstein's opinion too? Maybe Roman Polanski's?

Not sure that's true bill

Like killing black babies in record number

Sorry Bill, no.

She wanted the age of consent lowered to 12.

Did you have sec w her too!

Bill must just stay at home

Good for her. Now fill her seat

Thank you, Fmr. Pres. Clinton for ensuring Justice Ginsburg served on the U.S. Supreme Court. We all benefitted from this monumental decision. We will continue to keep RBG's legacy alive & will pick up the mantle to further move the needle of human rights towards justice for all.

Murdering defenseless children?

The Democrat party is NOT YOURS.... You're too Liberal to be a Democrat....

There is one way to fix that for the long run...vote them out

isn’t this Biden rule the reason why Clinton was able to nominate RGB?

Bill Clinton is a suspected pedophile. Not one question about that is asked.

Two pedophiles talk to each other

Yea Bill Clinton the rapist has any credibility and his wife should be in prison

We wouldn't be in this position if his wife had nominated Bernie Sanders, not Tim Kaine. We'd have prevented a Trump Presidency and a split between the Left & Center. We'd have a 6 to 3 Supreme Court already with Scalia's and Kennedy's seat.

Let the people decide instead of the previous impeachment as well.

Trump is president now and we want his nomination...our future depends on it!

Mitch, Donald & Lindsey are not very ethical people. How many went to church today?

Hold the bus tRUMPers!!!

Billy “Pay To Play” Clinton....deserves JAIL

Bill is a confirmed rapist. RIP RBG 🇺🇸

Presidents work is packaged in a four year term, not 3 nor 3.9 but 4. RBG replacement falls within the current presidential term period.

Or, MoscowMitch and trump found out that with Russian help they could get rich & powerful. The GOP senators signed on and Bill “screw the law” Barr is greasing the skids.

That’s right!

Cry babies.

Clinton's opinions and commits are like dirty underwear, you just can't stand having them around. Bill Clinton is the biggest criminal in politics today, and his wife is just as much a criminal. Took billions of Russian dollars to fund both their campaigns.

29 times before ~ what’s the difference know America

SCOTUS business does not stop just because of elections. Both parties need to stop the garbage. We have 9 justices for a reason. And failure to fill a vacant spot is an abuse to the taxpayers you work for. SCOTUS

And why are you against it? Oh, because it furthers your power.

McConell aka Grumpy old man needs to do all of us a favor and retire .

Have you met Hillary? Live by the sword pal...

Wasn’t Clinton under investigation at that time?

Not acting on a nomination would be an unprecedented act - his has happened to 22 other presidents during election year.

Bill Clinton says it seems McConnell “lost his faith in the judgement of the American people” as he and orange man push for a SCOTUS nomination ahead of the eating contest. “Their position is do whatever maximizes your power … Ruth Ginsburg was just the reverse.”

horseshit fakenews

Wild bill looks old, must be some STDs are accelerating his geriatricism.

She’s not other than to leftists. She only occasional followed the Constitution.

The judgment of the American people has been applied with the election of Donald Trump. He's doing his job as did 22 previous Presidents (all parties) when faced with this same situation. What Would Chucky Do?

Bill Clinton doesn't look or sound very well but he bravely made his points nonetheless. The leading Republican lawmakers are shameless hypocrites based on what they emphatically said only four years ago.

he looks ancient.

Where's JoeBiden ?

Ginsburg was the exact same. She should have retired years ago, but she clung to her post and her power. RBG

Great job by stephie. Bills apologist

BillClinton looks almost like skeleton.

Bill Clinton has no credibility since he stole millions of dollars meant for Haitian people, through his foundation. He should go back into oblivion until it’s time for him to kick the bucket.

And he would know what Americans symbolize.

The senate and white house both same party bearing Trump is acting in accordance with the constitution, he could not do so if the senate were Democratic

Column: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death should not eclipse Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s lifeThe world changed, politics roared, America's mood shifted this way and that, and Ginsburg worked, steadily as she had always done, dismantling injustice wherever she could. Thank you for working tirelessly to advance the cause of the underprivileged who often have no voice. God bless you and fly high dear Ruth as you reunite with your beloved Marty 💕🙏 I'm not sure if you're aware of this but The election doesn't matter any more: you now have a captured and overtly partisan supreme court even without a nominee being pushed through. All Trump has to do is challenge and he wins. America's democracy just ended.
