Anyone who has either listened to or read what Ms. Lewinsky has written doesn’t have to listen long to realize just how intelligent and compassionate she is.

Presidential bjs are definitely going hard for the power lmao
Astonishment and Joy. I am so happy for Monica Lewinsky and exceedingly proud of her. The President didn't suffer as much as she did.
I believe Monica is a great representation for the brand Reformation. The brand uses sustainable practices and they are about giving something new life, Monica has had to reinvent herself many times which is better than quitting. I’m not sure how much it helps to get out the vote, but it won’t hurt.

I never blamed her. I blamed him after he admitted it. She didn't deserve any of it. He knew how vulnerable she was and took advantage of it. The guilt lies solely on Clinton. We should have believed Anita Hill about Justice Thomas. Women should be believed.

Both hurt the people they loved. The President hurt the First Lady and their daughter, Chelsea. Monica hurt the person she loved the most, herself. I think Anita Hill would take offense to being compared to Monica Lewinsky. I too, believe Monica deserves to be happy but perhaps she needs to ask herself why her success needs to be tied to fame.
Monica gets shame, and yet Kim Kardashian gets fame... 🥴

That was good and so true
Is it just me, or are these reporters basically saying "Why is she bothering, since it's not gonna help?" If so, that's a really bad take. How about: let's applaud and encourage anyone trying to help in whatever way they can. Monica is fabulous, and if she's promoting voting and sustainability, that's a win-win in my book!

I know right! Im around her age I think and I can only wish I look that great and can model the same clothing! I admire her tenacity for having gone through one of the biggest scandals in US history because she developed feelings for a powerful man who took advantage of her youth...and for bouncing back from that and landing on her feet many years later! Not a lot of us would've been able to do that so more power to her!
She’s smart and courageous. She’s also witty as hell. I love her.

Catherine Rampell irritates me a bit with the “although I don’t agree with her choices,” and her laughter is so condescending. Can we just leave it alone? Monica was 22 years old. To think that what she did at 22 arguably ruined her life is incredibly sad. I wish her well. AND she looks amazing!!! She’s 50 and fabulous!!!

I believe that Ms Lewinsky has had a successful life .
I dont think the choice she made when she was 22 ruined her life. I see a strong woman, secure of herself, well spoken, n victorious. I wish Monica to continue success. Happy for her.
Good for her.
She looks great! That was so long ago. She was a kid, he was the President. I could see this.
Catherine Rampell has completely missed the point here. Monica isn´t a celebrity asking people to vote! She is a public figure who only became one because she was shamed and ridiculed and treated like dirt by a highly misogynistic press and public and who was thrown to the wolves by the President, who should have known much better than to do what he did. If anything, she seems to be asking people to remember that they do have a stake in who gets elected and who leads their country and that that person should be held accountable for their actions!

She's taken control of her own narrative. She might not have the pull Taylor Swift has in getting out the vote, but Lewinsky won't hurt the GotV effort and she's firmly standing on the right side of history. So as others have said - You go, girl!
People can change and forgiveness is divine. I do not believe that people should be branded for life. Its refreshing to see her come out on the other side of this tragedy. Inevitably we will all face trials in life and it is important to remember that all things pass. Never give up!

I disagree with Catherine Rampell, the Washington Post columnist being interviewed here. On first glance, these ads look like they are just fashion ads of an attractive woman wearing smart workwear with the voting message as just an add on. Just saying, ´No she looks great, the clothes look great´and ignoring the real message coming through is an attempt to dismiss the true power of these images, but I don´t think that power can be denied. It´s something that starts working on you long after you´ve seen them. The fact that it is Monica who is wearing them and the way her message of confidence, resilience, and overcoming injustice, sexism, and shaming come across is very powerful and not something that just any fashion model or even that most celebrities could achieve and the political message, while not so in your face, is something that no one who sees these images, will not eventually start to think about long after they´ve seen the images and forgotten about the clothes and the brand. It´s Monica and that´s everything. There is no one who was around at the time of the scandal in the 90s that will not think back to what happened back then and how the whole thing unfolded and how she was treated and how much strength it would take to come back and face the world like this and remind them of what was done to her and how important it is to think carefully about who we vote for, who are leaders are, how women have and are being treated in comparison to men, and holding those in positions of authority accountable for their actions. It´s only recently that there has been quite a lot of talk about how misogynistic the 90s were. And they were. Monica is not a celebrity. She inadvertently became a very public figure and the subject of shaming and ridicule worldwide. Monica has shown herself to be extremely intelligent and very tough. She made some very bad choices when she was young, but was made to suffer disproportionately and for decades, and all while the President of the United States, a man elected to lead the nation, got away with behaving unprofessionally and unethically, and with throwing her under the bus! While the main aim of these ads is clearly to present her in a completely different light and do successfully show her as being the powerful woman she is, I think the ads will actually also make more young people, especially women, think about voting and also about sexism and power and about who we put into power and holding the people that we put into positions of power accountable for their actions.
