Internet weighs in as ex-RFK Jr aide Link Lauren shares experience of flying with Bill and Hillary Clinton
JACKSON, WYOMING: A high-spirited former President Bill Clinton and a not-so-enthused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were photographed on a United flight to Jackson Hole by a former advisor to 2024 independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Amid the upheaval within the Democrat Party following President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, the Clintons have been largely out of the news.
Despite having left office 23 years ago, former President Clinton, at 77 years old, is still younger than either of the two prominent presidential candidates running in 2024, and he tweeted his support for the 81-year-old incumbent after his dismal debate outing last month.
This week, former President Clinton was spotted on a flight to Wyoming with wife Hillary and was approached by Link Lauren, former Robert F Kennedy Jr campaign consultant and TikTok personality, according to the Daily Mail.
Lauren shared a photo on social media of a happy-looking Bill Clinton and a focused Hillary Clinton working on her phone during their flight to Wyoming.
What did Link Lauren post about his impromptu meeting with the Clintons?
Link Lauren humorously remarked, “I ended up on a flight yesterday with Bill and Hillary Clinton, no it was not the Lolita Express,” clarifying that it was not the notorious airplane owned by now-deceased billionaire Jeffrey Epstein that actor Kevin Spacey recently confirmed he flew on with Bill.
Lauren praised the former Democratic President's charisma and his willingness to take photos with everyone.

He described Bill as having “this old school, politician charisma that can't be taught, can't be duplicated.”
He also noted that Hillary was more reserved but still friendly to people who would say hello to her.
“I can't knock them on that front,” Lauren said, but he suspected the former first lady was offended by his more right-wing views and his support for Robert F Kennedy Jr.
He further stated that Bill “loves to be social” and was “naturally” conversing with the flight attendants on board.
A couple was moved to first class with the Clintons before the flight and they took full advantage of it, with Link claiming “they wanted to chat their ears off!”
Despite their differences, Lauren recognized their calm demeanor and cheerful outlook despite the turmoil in their party as they headed for vacation.
Both have been supportive of President Joe Biden’s candidacy, having consistently tweeted their support for the Democrat statesman.
Lauren has been instrumental in Kennedy Jr’s burgeoning presence on TikTok and was involved in the decision to select Nicole Shanahan as his 2024 running mate.
The 25-year-old exited the campaign in April, but told the aforementioned outlet earlier this year that Kennedy Jr interviewed candidates from “both sides of the aisle from all different walks of life.”
Additionally, Kennedy Jr had considered individuals such as Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Yang, and Tulsi Gabbard, and assembled a “colorful group” of about 10 people for his VP Select Committee.

One person commented, "They’ve fallen far from the private jets."
Another person remarked, "Sour because Bill is the former president not her, because Bill is more interesting than her, because Bill is more popular than her, because Bill is friendlier and more charismatic than her, because people want to be photographed with Bill not her...."
Another person said, "Can't say I blame her. I wouldn't want to talk to some random TikTok personality and be photographed on the plane either."
One person wrote, "Hillary doesn't mess with peasants, Bill at least has a personality . ."
Another person quipped, "He should have asked them about their twenty something trips to Epstein Island."
Someone else suggested, "Hillary’s just being her usual self. No surprise."
