Bill Clinton on Trump Debate Attacks: ‘I’m Beyond Being Moved or Surprised’

Former President Bill Clinton spoke out Wednesday, for the first time, about the attacks lobbed at him before and during Sunday night’s Presidential debate by Donald Trump.

“I’m beyond being moved or surprised,” Clinton said, in remarks reported by Jennifer Epstein of Bloomberg Politics. “Have been for a long time.”

Trump held a press conference shortly before Sunday’s debate with Hillary Clinton, in which he sat with Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey — all of whom have accused the former president of sexual misconduct. Trump also invited Clinton’s accusers to the debate, and made mention of them during the proceedings.

“I felt bad for the citizens on the stage who had been told if they came here that they could ask questions about what they really care about that affect (sic) their lives,” Clinton said. “And very few of them got to.”

The former president praised the performance turned in by his wife — with whom he celebrated his 41st wedding anniversary on Tuesday.

“I looked at her and I realized, that’s the kind of person you want to be president,” Clinton said.
