Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky both voice support for Kamala Harris
Former President Bill Clinton's second term came close to being cut short after he was impeached for lying about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Yet in an awkward development, Clinton and Lewinsky have made the news this year for their mutual support of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Lewinsky derided as "the face of Stockholm Syndrome"
According to Breitbart, Lewinsky put up a social media post this past weekend encouraging her followers to vote for Harris and Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
The move led to criticism from some conservatives, including Ezra Wyrick, who writes for Reason magazine and serves as communications director for the group Liberty Seeds. He wrote, "I see her judgment has not improved."
Lawyer and podcast host Viva Frei spoke up in a post of his own, describing Lewinsky's endorsement of Harris as being "the face of Stockholm Syndrome."
"The woman who claimed she was sexually exploited by Bill Clinton, then dragged through the mud by the Democrat machine, now voting for them," he continued before adding, "Idiocracy. Pure and simple."
Meanwhile, Breitbart noted how Lewinsky previously authored a piece for Vanity Fair in which she laid out ways that people can cope with election anxiety. Her recommendations included having sex and playing board games.
Clinton caught making a series of gaffes
For his part, Clinton has raised eyebrows with a series of gaffes, including one made last month while he was campaigning in Georgia.
As New York Post contributor Miranda Devine noted, Clinton at one point remarked that Laken Riley's murder "probably wouldn't have happened" if her alleged killer had been "properly vetted."
Riley was a 22-year-old Augusta University College nursing student who was killed near her apartment building in February of this year.
Her alleged killer is Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal migrant who prosecutors maintain is connected with the notorious transnational gang known as Tren de Aragua.
Clinton admits that economy was better under Trump
Another embarrassing incident occurred in Michigan when Clinton admitted to Harris supporters that the economy was better when former President Donald Trump was in office.

Although the former president's remark was met with audible groans from audience members, Clinton said he was "entitled to my opinion about who would be better" as he "did pretty well" in the White House.
