187. Bill Clinton needs to stop and think that this was an attack on some of the VOTERS his wife needs
Wed Apr 20, 2016, 11:48 AM
Apr 2016

Doubling down with a stupid explanation and saying that we all need to Lighten up, ignores his own rage when far milder comments were made about his wife.

He should have just said something to the effect that sometimes things are said in the heat of a campaign and he should have held himself to a higher standard of civility .... he is a former President.
