Hillary Clinton's attempt to get movie recommendations from Twitter backfired when she was trolled with an array of Benghazi and Jeffrey Epstein references.

Clinton revealed on Twitter that she has tested positive for COVID and is suffering with "mild cold symptoms" but is "feeling fine."

While she's quarantining inside, the former First Lady asked her followers for movie recommendations, but received a mixed bag of genuine suggestions and conservative trolling.

Many Twitter followers brought up movies and documentaries to remind Clinton of the 2012 Benghazi attack and to her alleged links to Epstein.

After asking for movie suggestions while she rides out her bout of COVID-19, thousands of people replied to Clinton with earnest recommendations, including the official Netflix account.

And, many conservatives saw the opportunity to take a shot at the former Democratic Presidential candidate.

Dozens of people replied with the movie poster for the 2016 action film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi starring John Krasinski.

The Michael Bay movie is a biographical war flick following the soldiers of Annex Security Team who fought to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2022.

Users like @Marquisdelaffy1 wrote simply "This is a good one" and @OneGoodMan77 wrote "Here's one for you." @BigSteve207 seemed to get in there first and received almost 1,500 likes for telling Clinton "You should watch "13 Hours"."

Other responses intended to troll Clinton referenced other aspects of her career. Conspiracy theories have previously linked the convicted sex offender Epstein with Bill and Hillary Clinton, with Ted Cruz referencing the rumors on Twitter as recently as last month.

Verified Twitter user @Mcshane_writes and user @wet_dad both left an image of the Netflix documentary series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich underneath Clinton's recommendation. They both received over 100 likes for their jokes.

Republican author Buzz Patterson also gained attention for his response to Clinton's request for movies.

He told her to watch 2008 documentary Hillary the Movie, and to read the 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.

Right-wingers and right-leaning political commentators are bringing up the movie 13 Hours as it's based around the 2012 Benghazi attack, in which four Americans died.

As Secretary of State at the time, Clinton was accused of being responsible for the security lapses which led to the attack by a Libyan Islamic militant group.

While Hillary has tested positive for COVID-19, she confirmed that her husband, former President Bill Clinton has tested negative and is currently quarantining until the household is "fully in the clear."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki recommended Netflix shows, tea, and juice to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after they both tested positive for COVID-19.

Clinton tweeted on Tuesday that she had tested positive, and that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had tested negative.

She said she had some "some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine" and added: "Movie recommendations appreciated!"

Psaki responded to her on Twitter, writing: "Finally watching Inventing Anna (and recommend!) And highly recommend lots of water, tea and juice."

Psaki shared her own COVID-19 test results on Tuesday.

"Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms," Psaki said.

Clinton also credited the vaccines in her announcement: "I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness. Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!"

Psaki and Clinton both worked in the State Department during the Obama administration at separate times. Psaki joined as its spokesperson in February 2013, around a week after Clinton left to be replaced by John Kerry.

Talk aint cheap in politics

Hillary Clinton long purple coat, black slacks sipping water schmoozing the Jane Hotel in the Village. Its near whereLetitia James aide lives. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. I also dont know why if I know this nobody else should know it.

She said that when pregnant withChelsea, she worked at a law firm in Arkansas and I kept getting bigger and bigger, but no one said anything. She also said: Im happy to be anywhere right now. And see faces without masks! If she said more it wasnt why she was on Jane Street.

Former A.G.Bill Barrhad a party small for his new cranky book at Ristorante Tosca in DC.McConnellandGrahaminhaled tuna tartare, meatballs, rice balls and BS while this low Barr droned: Trumplost toBidenbecause he could never control himself.

Thats basically the entire book so now you dont have to blow money buying it.

Wait. More.Brady. Before publicly announcing his temporary unretirement, things smelled fishy to several sports bettors. Sniffing game pros picked up a scent that makes things smell smelly. As in they believe bets placed last week on the Buccaneers arose from inside information whatever thats supposed to tell us. They want regulators to regulate deeper. Known is that a close team manages Bradys press. Another known is he focuses on whats written about him.

Betty Buckley, who the Grammys love, everyones loved for 40 years, is now at Joes Pub. So how did she become the original Grizabella in Cats:

I auditioned twice. They turned me down saying they needed someone to radiate death and dying. Six months later they called back. I sang Memory three times. I was turned inside out. Finally I said, Nobody can do this better. Then they looked at me strangely and offered me the job.

Ive sung Memory so often that at one concert I actually lost my memory of it. The band kept replaying the same chord until I finally remembered the word.

Listen, things happen. In Feinsteins at the Regency two scary-looking guys, like from the mob, sat front row. I was talking about once selling my BMW and buying a Ford truck to drive to Texas to live on a ranch. And out loud one guy goes, Why would you do that?

Singing eight times a week when youre on Broadway, how do you protect your voice?

Wear a scarf, drink lots of water, hot tea, stay quiet, dont talk much, get a little personal steamer. And dont push. Dont belt. I was actually opening at the Carlyle when COVID hit. We got closed down. My assistant and I ended up driving home, three days, to Texas.

Joes Pub is closer. Go see Betty Buckley.

1947, Tyrone Power crept down a dark Nightmare Alley. NowBradley Coopers creeping down this same dark alley. Only this alleys darker.

DirectorGuillermo del Toro: Were doing things you couldnt do then. More surreal, tragic. More noir. A character portrait. Were showing what noir is. This talk about truth, lies, the almost mercuric, unstoppable rise of a liar and the way we are cruel to each other. Feels right for the moment were in as a society.

Yeah, great. Sundays Oscars leave us nobody saying its a noir show, and that includes Bad, Bad Leroy Brown have this film up for four, including Best Picture. But try to find someone whos seen it.

So, this guy asked the secret of his new assistants success as a door-to-door salesman. Answered the assistant: Its easy. The minute a woman opens the door I say, Miss, is your mother in?

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Hillary Clinton makes an appearance in the Village - New York Post

While developments about Russias war in Ukraine have overtaken the news cycle in the last three weeks, one Facebook post urges folks to remember another headline.

"Just a reminder that right before Ukraine was invaded, Hillary was found to be guilty of spying on a sitting U.S. president," read a March 14 Facebook post.

No, she wasnt. And the post was flagged as part of Facebooks efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

The Facebook post appears to be alluding to a Feb. 11 court filing that attracted widespread attention from Republicans and right-leaning media, who frequently mischaracterized its findings.

The filing, part of an ongoing federal probe by special counsel John Durham, did not implicate Clinton or her campaign in engaging in an elaborate scheme to gather information on the former president.

Durhams 13-page document addressed a potential conflict of interest regarding the legal representation of Michael Sussmann, an attorney for a law firm that represented Clintons 2016 presidential campaign.

Sussmann was charged with making a false statement to the FBI during a meeting in 2016, where he provided the agency with data that may have demonstrated evidence of a communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank.

The indictment alleged that Sussmann told the FBI that he was not acting on behalf of clients, when the indictment claimed, he was secretly acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign.

He has pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. Clinton has not been indicted on any charges stemming from the matter, nor has she been found guilty of alleged spying.

We found no credible evidence to support the Facebook post. We rate this claim False.
