Better late than never? CBS This Morning journalists on Tuesday awoke to the idea that, when it comes to sexual abuse, Bill Clinton might be “remembered as a man who abused his power.” The morning show hosts highlighted Clinton’s train wreck book tour where the former President insisted he didn’t owe Monica Lewinsky an apology.

Instead of promoting his new novel, Clinton on Monday exploded when pressed about the Me Too movement. This Morning reporter Bianna Golodryga observed: “The questions come amidst the worldwide Me Too movement and ask whether the former president should also be remembered as a man who abused his power.”

After playing the famous 1998 clip of the then-president saying “I did not have sexual relations,” Golodryga scolded: “With that one statement about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, President Bill Clinton set off a scandal that still follows him today.” Co-host John Dickerson reminded: “Bill Clinton's 20-year-old impeachment drama is getting a new public hearing in light of the push against sexual misconduct.”

Regarding Clinton telling NBC’s Melvin that he didn’t owe Lewinsky an apology, the CBS hosts chided the Democrat, but only on for botching his answer:

BIANNA GOLODRYGA: One would think, though, going into this book tour that he may be asked this question. GAYLE KING: That he might have been better prepared, had somewhere to go in his mind. GOLODRYGA: Not to be so defensive.

Over on ABC’s Good Morning America, the morning show completely skipped Clinton’s embarrassing book tour. That’s not particularly surprising, given that former Bill Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos is the co-host of GMA.

The Today show offered a full report on Clinton. Craig Melvin recounted: “During our interview, Clinton championed the Me Too movement. But his questions about Lewinsky drew backlash from his critics and some of his supporters. Now the former president is speaking out again.”

Melvin highlighted how this is a bad look for the ex-President, including this quote from former Clinton operative Joe Lockhart: “I think in that interview he succumbed to being the victim and feeling victimized.” The journalist cited a snippet of actress/activist Rose McGowan, relating that she tweeted this attack against Clinton: “a human life was altered and destroyed due to your selfishness.”

However, that’s minimizing just how harshly McGowan hammered Clinton. Here’s her full tweet:

If Bill Clinton’s book tour continues to unravel in the midst of the Me Too movement, journalists should cover it. Not avert their gaze.
