Alright, here’s the breakdown.
- Misha Collins was an intern in the Bill Clinton administration in 1994 for four months, which ended before Monica Lewinsky started her internship in 1995.
- When the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal broke in 1998, Misha wrote an op-ed in support of Lewinsky, addressing victim-blaming accusations that she was “starstruck” with Clinton and perused him.
- Misha said all interns were infatuated with, and hero worshiped Clinton, including himself.
- “If Monica Lewinsky had not seemed like a starstruck, infatuated intern who hung around the West Wing every chance she got then it would be fair to say that her behavior in the White House was suspicious.“ (source)
- No, Misha Collins did not fuck Bill Clinton. (Can’t believe that is a sentence I just typed in the year of our lord 2020.)
- Yes, Misha did use his position to speak out against the media harassment and victim-blaming of Monica Lewinksy.
Sorry to ruin the fun, but I feel like the “misha fucked bill clinton” joke overshadows the actual story, which is that Misha is just a good dude who stood up for Lewinsky when the rest of the nation was treating her as a laughing stock.
