Brutal Video Compares Bill Clinton's and Donald Trump's Acquittal Speeches and They Couldn't Be More Different

Brutal Video Compares Bill Clinton's and Donald Trump's Acquittal Speeches and They Couldn't Be More Different

Former President Bill Clinton admitted to lying under oath about an affair with a 22 year old White House intern. He was impeached and acquitted, with all Senate Democrats and five Senate Republicans acquitting him on all articles of impeachment.

President Donald Trump withheld aid from a foreign ally on the condition that the country's president open investigations into his political rivals. Senate Republicans refused to hear firsthand witnesses with explosive allegations in the Senate trial. Multiple Senate Republicans condemned Trump's actions, but only one voted to convict him—the first time in U.S. history a Senator voted to convict an impeached President of his or her own party.

Though both Presidents were acquitted, a new video from The Recount is demonstrating just how differently the two men treated the outcome.


Watch below.

Clinton faced an audience of reporters and gave a two minute address, admitting his wrongdoing and expressing his contrition:

"I want to say again to the American people how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to trigger these events and the great burden they have imposed on the Congress and the American people."

Trump addressed an audience of his Congressional supporters for over an hour, thanking each of his Republican defenders by name. As they cheered, Trump said:

"This is really not a news conference, it's not a speech. It's not anything, it's just — we are sort of — it's a celebration."

He continued:

"We went through hell, unfairly. I did nothing wrong. Did nothing wrong."

As he continued to ramble for over an hour, Trump brandished a newspaper with a headline announcing his acquittal on the front page, he lamented the so-called unfair treatment he's received, he called the Russia investigation "bullsh**t," imitated the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise (R-LA), and claimed Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT)—the lone Republican who voted to convict him—was using his religion as a crutch.

Though both Presidents did wrong, only one was willing to admit it.

The differences were stark.







The warning posed by Democratic lawmakers during the impeachment proceedings appears to be coming true: Trump has not been humbled with impeachment, but emboldened with acquittal—and now he wants revenge.

Hillary Clinton Epically Calls Out 'Disgraceful' Trump For Working With Putin Against Ukraine: 'He Has Betrayed The West'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump and his administration during an exchange at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, saying Trump has "betrayed the West" with his "disgraceful" handling of Ukraine.

In particular, Clinton called out Trump's often deferential attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in a "special military operation" in 2022. Clinton said that not only are Putin and Trump "profiting" off Ukrainian "misery," Trump is also looking to Putin as a "model" of what a leader can be, effectively betraying Western values.

Tyra Banks wanted to share her side of the story and do some big reveals in the Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, but if she was hoping the docuseries would improve her image to the public, she was sadly mistaken.

Past model contestants have already gone public about their time on the show, but now, people from behind the scenes, like one of the show's photographers and judges, Nigel Barker, the creative director, Jay Manuel, and judge and runway coach Miss J. Alexander, have all come forward with their experiences, and the history might be darker than we ever expected.

A cheating controversy erupted after Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson accused Canadian curler Marc Kennedy of illegally touching the granite portion of a curling stone rather than the handle, which the rules prohibit.

Sweden further alleged a “double touch,” which occurs when a player makes contact with the stone after it passes the hog line.

Team USA's Ilia Malinin making any mistakes on the ice, let alone missing multiple combinations and taking two falls while attempting quads, couldn't have been further from what everyone expected during this year's Winter Olympics.
