Bill Clinton Still Ticked About South Carolina Comments

Posted by Greg Hambrick on Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 10:49 AM

It's been months (and months) since the South Carolina primary, but reporters are still asking Bill Clinton about his comments regarding race and South Carolina politics in the run up to the primary — and the former president is still upset about it.

“We were talking about South Carolina political history and this was used out of context and twisted for political purposes by the Obama campaign to try to breed resentment elsewhere. And you know, do I regret saying it? No. Do I regret that it was used that way? I certainly do. But you really got to go some to try to portray me as a racist.”

He added that the way Obama’s campaign had reacted was “disrespectful to Jesse Jackson” and that the former presidential candidate had told him he was not offended, and that “we all know what’s going on."

After the phone interview with Delaware radio station WHYY Monday night, a stray comment of his on the issue was also recorded before he hung up: “I don’t think I should take any s*** from anybody on that, do you?”
