Clinton: ‘Gutsiest’ thing I’ve done is ‘stay in my marriage’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed that the “gutsiest” thing she’d done was to stay in her marriage with President Bill Clinton.

The Clintons famously stayed together despite the former president’s infidelity, most notably with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky. After lying under oath about the nature of their relationship, the House of Representatives impeached Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice charges in 1998. However, he was acquitted in the Senate.

Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton were interviewed on Good Morning America Tuesday morning.

“Oh, boy, I think the gutsiest thing I’ve ever done personally, make the decision to stay in my marriage. Publicly, politically run for president. And keep going. Just get up every day and keep going,” the former secretary of state said.

Her daughter was asked the same question and responded, “Oh, goodness, I think I’m so overwhelmed by my mother’s answer that I’m a bit out of words. And I’m just so proud to be her daughter. But my most important entity is now as my three kids’ mom, so I’ll just try to be gutsy every day, Amy.”
