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 Hollywoodtape 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.
