Monica Lewinsky is still decades later known mostly from something that happened when she was 22-23 years old.

And she owns it.

Vice President Mike Pence is known for... other things.


Like calling his wife "mother," refusing to meet with or dine with women other than his "mother" because of his Evangelical Christian faith and trying to strip away as many rights as possible from LGBTQ people and women when he was Governor of Indiana.

The VP doesn't quite own his well-documented past.

Recently the Veep gave an interview to local newspaper The Washington Times. Pence said the secret to his success in the Trump White House was spending more time on his knees than on the internet.

Or something like that.

Anyway, The Washington Times headline for the article drew some attention online.

Journalist Lauren Duca asked if anyone would volunteer to tell VP Pence that there might be some misunderstandings...

...when Ms. Lewinsky stepped in and won the internet for the day.

People were appreciative of Lewinsky's ability to find humor in owning her past.











Some had changed their opinions of Ms. Lewinsky since her time in the mid '90s spotlight.

Monica Lewinsky's story among the public vilification of other prominent women featured in the news and pop culture of the 1990s is discussed in the book 90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality, available here.
