A lighthearted but awkward moment involving former US first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread reactions online.
In the viral video, the former President appeared to nudge the ex-first lady toward a busy New York City intersection crosswalk, prompting her to pull back and protest as the couple attempted to cross the street.
The Clintons were walking in New York City after attending an event and visiting their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, when the encounter unfolded.
The video showed the former President smiling as he pushed his wife into an adjoining crosswalk in an apparent jaywalking attempt.
Hillary Clinton pulled back and raised her hands in front of her to avoid being thrust into the street, saying, “No, no, no, no, no. Don’t do that.
Don’t do that. ”
“That’s not a good idea,” Bill Clinton replied with a grin, New York Post reported.
Moments later, the crosswalk signal changed, and the pair, accompanied by what appeared to be a security detail, crossed the street without incident.
The appearance came days after the Clintons wrapped up their testimony in a probe related to the govt’s handling of the case against disgraced late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In an unprecedented deposition, the former President and first lady testified under subpoena to the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation.
Bill Clinton had publicly acknowledged a past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including shared trips.
However, the Clintons have not been accused of misconduct related to Epstein.
Investigators agreed to examine how Epstein cultivated ties with prominent individuals to help obscure his criminal activity, prompting former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump’s inclusion in Epstein document releases.
