Monica Lewinsky’s meme game remains absolutely elitist.
The activist took on the new Taylor Swift meme: “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.”
The phrase comes from the megastar’s song, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” on his new album, “The Tortured Poets Department”.
People have taken to sharing the line, accompanied by an image of a haunting childhood memory, era, or pastime.
Enter Lewinsky, who posted the line with a photo of the White House.
Lewinsky, a former White House intern, was at the center of a political storm in the 1990s after it was revealed she had a sexual relationship with then-President Bill Clinton.
The president was impeached in 1998 following the scandal, for lying under oath and obstructing justice. He was acquitted by the Senate and served the remainder of his term.
Lewinsky has worn many hats since, including leading anti-bullying campaigns in light of the vilification she herself faced during and after the firestorm in her early 20s.
Oh, and she’s become a social media icon, often posting viral, tongue-in-cheek memes that draw on the controversy she’s had to endure.
Her rendition of the Swiftie meme was an “iconic” addition to the catalogs, according to X users.
