[@Naturamorpho]

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!

[@LennonTheBunny]

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.

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

Lennon The Bunny oh my god, if that was trump youd be screaming murder lol

[@aviendha1154]

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.

[@racoonsister]

Aviendha, Monica kept that dress for a reason, if she really was in love with him as she said, then why keep the dress unless she had an alternative motive.

[@aviendha1154]

racoonsister You can think you’ve fallen in love and have it be utter bullshit you know.... Most people have done it, it’s very easy to do. 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.

[@aviendha1154]

Will Pack She won’t, don’t be stupid. She doesn’t want to be in that spotlight again. In part because people on both sides treat her like shit no matter what she says or does.

[@dannykumite]

Bill and Monica. Kennedy and Monroe. Affairs we don't approve of but they are adults in relationships, not coerced. These aren't MeToo# imo

[@kathcasey2090]

Paula Jones may disagree...

[@dannykumite]

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]

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.

[@dannykumite]

Toori Baba not defending Clinton but sure you can judge a man how you like. The laws isn't perfect, and always true, but it's the laws. Unless the court judge Clinton guilty, he isn't. I don't buy that our court system is corrupted without evidence or verified facts.

The encounter was consensual. The woman never suggested otherwise at the time. While he is an adulterer who wronged his wife and acted inappropriately befitting a man in his position, he is not a rapist with regard to Monica Lewinsky.

[@SvendleBerries]

So, if a rapist is "sorry" they shouldnt be punished? Last time I checked, being sorry doesnt un-ruin someones life. Bill needs to go to prison for what he did, and Hillary needs to go with him. Good riddance to them both. 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".

[@DrewLakebrink]

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.

[@JON_HER]

Wtf i don’t know much about history but wasn’t it consensual??

[@MrHindsightProphet]

Yes it was.

[@khosrow]

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]

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]

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?

Two words you'll never hear t'rump say "I'm sorry." Not to be confused with... Ten words you could totally hear t'rump say "I'm sorry, Ivanka, for walking in on your shower again."

[@lich109]

Toori you keep posting this on comments, do you have any evidence?

[@rgwak]

lich109 - Don't you love it when someone is compelled to post the same stupid attempt at a joke, not knowing we're all laughing at them, not with them? Totally makes my day!

[@IaMCdN1]

Ro G you are such a dumbass, it’s incomprehensible.

[@yoykdog148]

Why are we only blaming him when Monica Lewinsky has as much fult as he..

[@nyashab4276]

Monica doesnt get to join the me too movement! SMDH. I like how Bill has apologised and admitted his mistakes. Sadly we are in a world where gossip n rehashing issues has become the norm and we disregard any apologies.

[@nsr60ster85]

"Sir, have you ever raped anyone?" This may or may not be the case, but it needs to be asked.

[@JoseEllen1]

I look up to you even more now, Stephen Colbert. That was direct and honest but also respectful. This is so important! Thank you!

[@chrismanuel9768]

A good and humble man, then and now.

[@rosebud4467]

Are we actually clapping for Bill Clinton attempting to praise the "me too" movement. GTFO.

[@rollno38]

His eyes are low, he has no guts to face the world.

[@Royalsfanallthetime]

I canvassed for Hilary and it was well below freezing all day in Iowa. BERNIE VOTERS GAVE US Trump.

[@bobblueford]

That's absolutely right!

[@M20da]

Great interview Mr. Colbert!!!

[@kayrosis5523]

Why does this make me think that in a few years, Harvey Weinstein will go on some apology tour and be credited as a force for positive change...

[@bluestrife28]

You could hear a pin drop when he spoke . As someone who was a kid when this happened and it made no sense that the President did something wrong, I feel a weight lifted from my childhood. Thanks Bill. Sadly now I watch a man undeserving of the title making us into one big reality tv show in the current time. I know Hilary had a huge influence on policy during the Clinton term, it’s America’s loss we didn’t return to the economic and tentatively social upswing the 90’s was becoming in our most recent farce of whoever electoral college picks .....ahem I mean presidential election .

[@yentalin12345]

Good on Colbert. He was respectful but challenging, didn't let him off the hook.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Props to Colbert for asking the uncomfortable questions!

[@MariaPetrovaNYC]

BRAVO Colbert asking the right questions

[@CJ-tb9wp]

hilarious - do do-overs only apply to the Clintons?

[@Kznarf]

Christopher Gerold yes, they do. No one else is worthy

[@12x2richter]

Maybe do-overs once, yes. For the Trumps it's do-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and...

[@CJ-tb9wp]

Richter12x2 rofl whats it have to do with Trump?

[@aggieaguilera4real]

@Christopher Gerold Don't be ridiculous. Trump gets plenty of do-overs. He just doesn't have the inclination to use them. I think they call it "doubling down."

[@CJ-tb9wp]

AggieAguilera dude, they all suck. Don't see what trump has to do with Clinton being a rapist.

[@boblowney]

I love it that right out of the gate Colbert asks the president the tough question. No pandering, yet remains respectful.

[@r.mcbride2837]

Clinton's right about the Mid-Terms. You have to get out and vote in ALL the elections, Folks.

[@caylus3395]

No questions about Juanita Broaddrick or Paula Jones? I seriously don't care about Lewinsky, that was consensual. But innocent people don't pay "liars" $850,000 to get them to drop their suit.

[@foomp]

While that's true in many cases, there are also instances that the payoff happens to avoid further attention or unnecessary process. Think about things as common as patent trolls and other false claim abusers. The companies they're trying to threaten suit with could prove they're in the right, but sometimes it's just not worth it. Hell, the acceptance of the money in the name of what was supposed to be "justice" for a non-monetary crime kind of weakens the original stance. Not trying to say that was the case, but it's always possible.

[@sunnylilme]

I've always thought he was sexy. Shook his hand in Alabama. First president I voted for.

[@MAGApepe]

now what do you think of him ??

[@sunnylilme]

M with the 🐸, already know you think he's the devil incarnate. I know how you talk to folks, your talking points.. Nah. Not interested.

[@MAGApepe]

so i guess you still think he is your hero,,, and of course you would vote for him again if you could... says alot of about you,,, none of it good ..time to lock up bill

[@harrisassment8937]

Come on my show to talk about your book. Well, let's talk about 20 years ago instead of your book. Bait and switch.

[@SKRUBL0RD]

He's a confirmed liar and only recognizes now what he's 'supposed' to say, not what he actually believes.

[@Ishkott]

Does anyone remember Linda Tripp? Does Clinton owe her an apology, too?

[@1MrBryn]

He's Jimmy Carter with a Fox attitude.

[@1MrBryn]

Paul Berevoescu Simpsons dude...

[@0MVR_0]

Fuck Jimmy Carter.

[@diamond852]

I don't understand what is wrong with these people who are linking Bill and Monica with #MeToo. IT WAS A CONSENSUAL AFFAIR.

[@Mollywhop79]

I'm on Bill's side on this. Dude lived through the goddamn repercussions. He's hardly our worst enemy.

[@msvulcanspock]

It is true Bill Clinton didn't rape Monica Lewinsky, but he has rape allegations going back to 1978. We don't have to forget those rape allegations until he has been to court.

[@prikov1]

Stephen Colbert is a very good interviewer. Clinton sounds like an old man.Please go home now.

[@queenmaoasada8447]

Stephen is one of the great and most probing interviewers out there... It’s been 13 years and he still amazes me. #GreatPresidentOrTheGreatestPresident #ColbertNation

[@rigsby1454]

Colbert really has no fear with his questioning

[@chesterfester2327]

It's cute that you are naïve enough to believe that Colbert wasn't handed that whole line of questioning from the Clinton team. Clinton bombed when he was asked those questions the first time, and needed a second chance to try to dissemble and re-spin his answers. Colbert played the part of the shill at the medicine show, asking the tonic salesman "tough questions".

[@heatherrobertson7286]

Awww, poor baby, HE has "had to live with the consequences every day since". SMH

[@CozmicFirefly]

Bill Clinton is a good man. Nobody is perfect, we ALL make mistakes. But what sucks is when you learn your lesson, but others wont DROP IT.
