Bill Clinton actually said...

"All Americans deserve protection from hate crimes, and that requires us to stand together against intolerance, prejudice, and bigotry."

"This interpretation, which is confirmed by the legislative record taken as a whole, is also required to avoid any possible impairment of my constitutional authorities."

"I believe the wise thing to do is to take care of the 21st century challenge of the aging of America."

"Senate approval of this legislation gives it real momentum, and I call on the House of Representatives to meet its responsibility in combating violence that is fueled by hate."
