Hilary Clinton has said that her husband, former President Bill Clinton's affair with then 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, was not an abuse of power and he should "absolutely not" have resigned in the wake of the scandal.
The former first lady and US Secretary of State said this while being questioned about her husband's affair with Lewinsky during an uncomfortable interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
Clinton said she didn't think her husband's affair with Lewinsky, which began in 1995 was an abuse of power, arguing that Lewinsky was an adult at the time.
Clinton was asked if, in retrospect, her husband should have resigned in the wake of the scandal, to which Clinton replied, "absolutely not."
Social media users have criticized Ms Clinton for the statement.

If she deserves to be President so does Anita Desoso, One Lithur etc. She forgave her husband because the stakes(largesse) she had invested in him had not matured. This same woman would describe another man alleged to have done same as a ***barred word*** and not fit for political office, meanwhile her hubby was caught red handed. the world would have suffered if she had, look at Gaddafi, Syria etc. We thank God she never was and never would be
THIS LADY, HILLARY CLINTON, DESERVES TO BE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA. WITH SUCH A HEART TO FORGIVE BOTH HER HUSBAND, BILL CLINTON AND MISS MONICA LEWINSKY SHOWS THAT SHE HAS THE TEMPER, CHARACTER AND HEART TO MANAGE PEOPLE WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUND SUCCESSFULLY. NO ONE NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT SHE IS A CULTURED WOMAN MOTHER AND WIFE. THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO GIVE MRS. HILLARY CLINTON ANOTHER CHANCE TO TAKEOVER FROM THE INCAPABLE AND SEPARATIST DONALD TRUMP
