Gingrich: I Feel Sorry for Bill Clinton, He’s So Much Less than He Wanted To Be

EXCERPT:

HUNTSMAN: "All right. Your thoughts on Bill Clinton. We all watched that 'Today' show interview, two days ago. He is still trying to apologize for that horrendous answer. Here is the latest."

CLINTON: "When I saw the interview I thought that because they had, you know, distill it. And it looked like I was saying I didn’t apologize and I had no intention to. And I was mad at me. (Laughter) ... It wasn’t my finest hour. ... That was very painful thing that happened 20 years ago. And I apologize to my family, to Monica Lewinsky and her family, to the American people. I meant it then, I mean it now. I've had to live with the consequences every day since. I still believe this #MeToo movement is long overdue."

DOOCY: "Newt, when he was president, you were speaker."
GINGRICH: "Yeah. Look, he -- and the whole fight was over his having committed perjury, which is a felony and, again, and actually, a case about whether or not he intimidated an employee, a female employee when he was governor I feel sorry for Bill Clinton."
HUNTSMAN: "He wants us to feel sorry for him."
GINGRICH: "But I do feel sorry for him. This is the guy who rose to the highest office in America who has, first of all, now be with Hillary after her second defeat, and that whole arrangement didn’t work out the way it should have from their standpoint. He is going to spend the rest of his life in this cloud and doesn’t seem to be able to get to closure and just move on."
HUNTSMAN: "Didn’t he create that cloud for him though? Isn’t he to blame for all of that."
GINGRICH: "I’m not defending him. I’m just saying when you watch him, you are watching somebody who clearly is so much less than he wanted to be."
