(DCWatchdog.com) – In a surprise development, infamous activist and author Monica Lewinsky has just resurfaced to public attention as she has now expressed unexpected admiration for the Drudge Report while rooting for Democrat Kamala Harris to win the 2024 election against Republican nominee Donald Trump.
The online outlet, known for breaking the news of Lewinsky’s sex scandal with President Bill Clinton, described the recent presidential debate as a pivotal moment, dubbing it “The End” for Donald Trump’s campaign.
Lewinsky noted on Instagram, “Never thought that I — of all people — would applaud the Drudge Report. But here we are. (IYKYK)” using an acronym for “if you know, you know.”
The Drudge Report first gained national attention in 1998 when it reported on the scandalous sexual affair between then-President Bill Clinton and Lewinsky, a story that dominated headlines and ultimately led to Clinton’s impeachment.
Recently, the publication has taken a notably critical stance against Trump, The Hill points out in a report.
During this week’s debate, the Drudge Report featured a headline that simply read “The End” accompanied by a digitally created image of Trump encircled by various small animals like cats and ducks.
This image seemed to symbolize the chaos during the debate where Trump bizarrely exclaimed, “They’re eating dogs,” referring to claims about migrants in Ohio—a statement that caught significant media attention and added to the surreal atmosphere of the debate.
The debate and its coverage are still unfolding, with significant reactions and analyses pouring in from all sides.
One such reaction came from Senator JD Vance of Ohio, Trump’s vice presidential pick, who faced criticism for endorsing the unfounded allegations about migrants.
Vance later conceded that these allegations might not be accurate.
Reflecting on her unexpected journey from a political scandal figure to an advocate for anti-bullying and voter engagement, Lewinsky has since aligned herself with Democratic causes.
She encouraged voting for the Democratic Party earlier this year, though she has not explicitly endorsed Vice President Harris’s campaign.
Lewinsky’s reflection on the Drudge Report’s role in both her personal saga and the current political landscape underscores the complex dynamics of media influence and personal redemption in the sphere of public opinion.
