I was in my late teens when this happened, and I did not want him to be impeached. This was the 90s and the groundwork for MAGA was being laid, and everything from the GOP was a lie and/or completely partisan. To this day, I will not take the perjury seriously, as the whole thing was absolutely a partisan fishing expedition, no matter what you think of Clinton otherwise.
But.what I did not grasp as a teen was the problem with the huge power imbalance between an intern and the most powerful person in the world. At the time I just thought they were consenting adults and really didnt think about it much further. But now I have grown (I hope) and times are different (I hope) and I recognize that Clinton should have been removed for that conduct alone. What he did with an intern with him in that position is unacceptable.
I think Clinton was a great President. I was really involved with Dem. politics at that time and I met and talked with him a few times (he would not remember me of course), and he really is just the most personable individual you have ever seen. But he is a complete creep, looking back on things. The GOP was being completely awful and ridiculous too, which made it hard for me to see.
Again, dont care about the perjury in the face of a completely biased and unfair proceeding. Do care about the power imbalance between a WH intern and the President of the US. I wish I had been mature enough to figure that out at the time.
An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.
