Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich has admitted that impeaching ex-President Bill Clinton in 1998 was a mistake. He made this admission in an interview with Miranda Devine on her Pod Force One podcast, where he spoke openly about the Clinton impeachment over the Lewinsky scandal.
According to Mediaite, Gingrich said his thinking changed after a conversation with his two daughters, who told him, “If our friends lose money on their 401K because of some stupid intern, we are going to be mad at you, because frankly it ain’t a big enough deal for us to lose a lot of money.” He said this feedback made him realize he had misread the public mood at the time.
