Monica Lewinsky has a half million followers on Twitter. Somebody was paying attention to her Twitter feed because this story made it to Yahoo News:
Monica Lewinsky sounds off on the Mueller report
I think the level of response to this tweet justifies saying that it went viral:
She was responding to a tweet from Orin Kerr:
Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.
Orin Kerr is Law professor at USC’ s Gould School of Law where he teaches criminal procedure & computer crime law. He posts on his Twitter account, where he has 60 thousand followers, “I'm not wasting time, I'm developing my social media brand. Not your lawyer.”
The tweet on Lewinsky’s Twitter page which she posted just before the one which made the news interested me because I am very familiar with the subject.
It was posted by Maria Popova, a Bulgarian-born writer, blogger, literary and cultural critic living in Brooklyn, New York. She is known for her speeches and her blog BrainPickings.org, which features her writing on culture, books, philosophy and eclectic subjects on and off the Internet. She has 800,000 Twitter followers.
Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, is the founder of logotherapy and one of the seminal thinkers in existential and humanistic psychology. His book “Man’s Search for Meaning” is required reading in courses in existential philosophy courses. It is heavy reading. Her referencing it leads me to suggest that Lewinsky is wasting her Twitter account by trivializing it.
If I had half a million followers on my Twitter page instead of the 56 which I do have, I wouldn't trivialize it by posting my snarky anti-Trump photoshops.
