Bill Clinton‘s political career was permanently tainted by his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and it looks like his foundation’s latest request will make it even harder for him to live it down.
This week, it was revealed that the Clinton Foundation, which is run by the former president and Secretary of State, is looking to hire a new intern to help them run things over the next year, and Bill’s office is specifically seeking a new candidate as well. The announcement caught the attention of many after it listed a “high level of discretion” as being one of the requirements of the job. Social media users pointed out the irony and how the listing description immediately took many back to the days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, when the world of an intern working under the president turned upside down.

Bill & Hillary Clinton's Foundation Shares Job Listing Seeking New Interns
When it comes to the political world in America, thousands upon thousands of young adults tend to apply for internships of all kinds to make their way in it. From trying to be an intern at the White House to interning for candidates who are running for local office, it's not uncommon to see people jumping at the opportunity.
This week, it was revealed that the former 42nd president and first lady were looking to hire some new interns and employees for the Clinton Foundation, which they run for philanthropic projects and more. Bill's office specifically is seeking a 'special projects associate,' while the foundation is also looking to hire an unpaid intern.
Though the listing seemed pretty straightforward, as they're looking for a hardworking intern who can handle the demands of their busy foundation, there was one line that turned heads - they're looking for someone who can work at a "high level of professionalism and discretion," as reported by the NY Post.
Social Media Users React To The Internship Job Posting
Though it's not unusual for a busy organization run by politicians to be looking for some interns, even the term 'intern' has permanently made its mark on the famous couple, given the former president's massive scandal involving Monica Lewinsky, who was the White House intern he famously had an affair with.
It's been three decades since the scandalous affair shocked the public and led to Bill's impeachment; many still haven't been able to get over it, taunting both him and Monica, who is now a podcast host and advocate against bullying and harassment. Therefore, when social media users saw that his and his wife's organization was not only looking for an intern, but a discreet one, they couldn't help but poke fun at it.
"He's like 80," joked an X user. "He'll gawk a little, but I don't think he's up for cigar action anymore."
"I wonder how they measure that 'high level of discretion?'" asked another.
"Just don't wear a blue dress!" mocked a user.
"That didn't work out too well for Bill last time," wrote another.
