Monica Lewinsky, American activist and participant of a high-profile sex scandal in the Nineties involving the 42nd US President Bill Clinton, has launched a meme jab against another ex-POTUS, Donald Trump, in the wake of recent revelations about his alleged conduct during the US Capitol riots of 6 January 2021.
The revelations in question came in the form of a testimony delivered at the sixth public hearing of the January 6th Committee by Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
In her testimony, Hutchinson claimed that on 6 January 2021, Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel of the presidential vehicle he was traveling in that day, as he allegedly sought to join his supporters at the US Capitol while the head of his Secret Service detail, Bobby Engel, tried to get Trump back to the White House.
In response to this development, Lewinsky poked fun at the ex-POTUS by using a version of the so-called “distracted boyfriend” meme that contains a reference to the infamous tape where Trump can be heard bragging that, “when you are a star”, you can supposedly “do anything” to women, including grabbing them “by the p*ssy”.
Quite a few social media users appeared amused by Lewinsky's stunt, praising her for it, and others used the opportunity to joke about Trump.
“If his hands were bigger, he might have succeeded in making it to the Capitol,” one netizen suggested.
“This may be the single greatest takedown in the history of the internet,” another tweeted.
Trump himself has already denied Hutchinson's allegations, and Engel and the agent who drove the presidential SUV on that day are also reportedly willing to testify before the US House Select Committee that Trump did not “lunge at the steering wheel”.
