Monica Lewinsky Just Used The 'Distracted Boyfriend' Meme To Perfectly Roast Trump Over Latest Jan. 6 Revelations

Activist Monica Lewinsky is known for being rather social media savvy.

So it's no surprise she had the perfect meme to roast former Republican President Donald Trump over the latest revelations about the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.


Lewinsky's response came after Cassidy Hutchinson—a former aide to ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—told the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the attack a Secret Service agent told her Trump had gotten into a physical altercation when he attempted to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine.

By Hutchinson's recollection, the Secret Service agent said Trump had wanted to go to the United States Capitol and see his White nationalist lead supporters who attacked the nation's seat of government on the false premise the 2020 election was stolen.

Democratic President Joe Biden defeated Trump in both the popular vote and electoral college vote. In 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton only beat Trump in the popular vote.

Despite his popular vote loss in both elections and failure to crack 50 percent approval ratings during his entire presidency, Trump refused to acknowledge he lost.

Lewinsky—who is no stranger to being bullied by powerful men after she became an international punchline fodder for having an affair with then-President Bill Clinton as a White House intern—used the "Distracted Boyfriend" meme to remind her social media followers Trump has always made it clear he can do whatever he wants.

The meme in question, which shows the titular boyfriend torn between a steering wheel and "p*ssy," is a callback to a now-infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump bragged about grabbing and kissing women without their consent and made the following remarks:

"You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet."
"Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." ...
"Grab ’em by the p*ssy. You can do anything."

Lewinsky cheekily told her followers she hoped she'd made the meme "correctly."

The response indicated she definitely had.


Hutchinson's revelations about Trump's behavior on January 6 have drawn the ire of Robert "Bobby" Engel—then the head of Trump's Secret Service detail.

After Hutchinson testified, NBC News reported Engel and the unnamed Secret Service agent are prepared to testify Trump did not grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine.

Hutchinson told the House Select Committee Engel had explicitly told Trump they were going back to the West Wing and rebuffed his attempts to direct him to the Capitol while the attack was underway.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
