Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that she tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday.
Clinton, who is 74 years old, tweeted “Well, I’ve tested positive for COVID”. “I’ve got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine”.
Fully vaccinated, Clinton said she is “more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness”.
She also asked that her followers “get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already!”
In another tweet, Clinton said her husband, former President Bill Clinton, 75, tested negative and is also in quarantine. “He’s quarantining until our household is fully in the clear. Movie recommendations appreciated!” she wrote.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki also announced that she tested positive for the virus for a second time. Earlier this month, former President Obama and Second gentleman Doug Emhoff both tested positive.
Psaki said she will “no longer be traveling on the President’s trip to Europe” in a statement. Though she met with President Biden on Monday, she is not considered a close contact.
After asking for movie recommendations in her tweet, Clinton was trolled by Twitter users.
Juanita Broaddrick, who has publicly accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978, suggested “Maybe give him a book to read,” with the photo of the book “Some Ice on That: How I Survived Being Raped by Bill Clinton”.
Others recommended “The Plot Against the President,” “Primary Colors,” “13 Hours,” and “Murder she wrote”.
