If you’re like me, you were too young to understand why a woman named Monica Lewinsky was constantly on your television in 1998, but you didn’t dare change the channel because your dad was super into it.
Lewinsky has written about how her affair with President Clinton while she was an intern at the White House had left her suicidal, void of career opportunities, and steered her into the lane of combatting cyberbullying as an activist.
It’s taken two decades for the now 46-year-old to joke about the larger-than-life saga that made her a public pariah, but she’s been dishing out some HEATERS as of late.
In May of 2018, Sen. Marco Rubio criticized a story about his stance on the tax cut bill, throwing an intern under the bus to cover face. Lewinsky parachuted down from the rafters to deliver a response that received over 221,000 likes.
blaming the intern is so 1990's. 🙄 https://t.co/6CGPERpNqx

And just last month, when organizational psychologist Adam Grant posed the question “What’s the worst career advice you’ve ever received?”, Lewinsky dropped the hammer. Bill Clinton’s hammer.
an internship at the white house will be amazing on your resume. 😳

Most recently, Mike Pence, the man who never shares a meal with a woman who isn’t his wife and never attend events featuring alcohol unless his wife is by his side, lobbed up the most dunk-able alley oop imaginable when he urged the American public to “Spend more time on your knees than on the internet.” Monica was there for the flush.
def not me. 👀

Gotta respect someone who can control their own narrative by publicly mocking the most embarrassing moment of their own lives in clever ways.
