Monica Lewinsky tweeted the hashtag ‘#MeToo’, claiming that she’s been the victim of sexual assault.
Lewinsky’s tweet didn’t say anything else—nor did she clarify with an additional tweet. Still, it’s not hard to guess what she’s referring to.
Lewinsky was the epicenter of one of the biggest political scandals in history after then-President Bill Clinton had an affair with the 22-year-old White House intern.
The debacle ultimately led to Clinton’s impeachment, after he lied about the incident under oath.
But Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Clinton of raping her in 1978 considered Lewinsky’s tweet too little, too late.
Better late than never Monica Lewinsky’s ME TOO. I have always felt sad for you,but where were you when we needed you?

Broaddrick quickly followed up with: Your silence was deafening in the 90’s when Kathleen, Paula and I needed your voice,” referencing Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones, who also accused Clinton of either rape or sexual assault.
The #MeToo campaigned gained traction on social media over the past week, with women encouraged to write “Me Too” on their Facebook or Twitter statuses, to indicate they’ve experienced sexual assault.
