Jenny McCarthy now regrets suggesting that presumptive Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is a lesbian. 'How could I make a joke like that and then five minutes later preach about female empowerment?' McCarthy wrote Friday in an article for The Chicago Sun-Times’ Splash.
'It makes me sad when I see women ripping on other women, and there I was making a joke about our possible first female president!' It was during a discussion about a new book about the hidden lives of presidents - which includes an allegation that former President Bill Clinton currently has a mistress.
She said then: 'Well, maybe he has his girlfriends and she has her girlfriends. You never know. Maybe they have an arrangement.'
After a few days of reflection and backlash, McCarthy writes: 'Shame on me. I am a work in progress. I hope you will be patient with me as I continue to figure myself out and grow to be the example of female empowerment I always intend to be.'
The book the panel was discussing is called The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents by Ron Kessler.
