Limiting the comments to subscribe-only didn’t save Hillary Clinton from a flurry of Epstein pictures after she invited Twitter to wish her former-president husband Bill a happy birthday.
“Join me in wishing this young man a happy birthday,” Clinton tweeted on Wednesday, along with an old college photo of the political power couple.
It would seem that the former secretary of state was speaking directly and only to the 850 accounts she was following, as nobody else was permitted to comment under her post via the site’s new privacy feature.
Hey @HillaryClinton I just wanted to wish Bill a Happy Birthday.What is with this Nonsense ?Don’t you like what people write ? pic.twitter.com/Jw4j0WRKy9
Only people @HillaryClinton follows can reply to her tweet. I wonder what she’s scared of? Bahaha! pic.twitter.com/kMa5bu9Ghi
As only the people Clinton was following could reply, the general Twitter populace had to find a workaround to join the discourse – which was easily done by retweeting the birthday greetings themselves and adding their comment.
It would appear that many Twitter users actually did not want to wish Bill a happy seventy-fourth birthday. Instead, they brought up allegations surrounding his personal friendship with the late financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Damn, I bet Jeffrey Epstein would have had quite the birthday gift for him. @HillaryClinton@BillClintonhttps://t.co/0Vjzl8edXlpic.twitter.com/QQR65Qr43B
Some people, however, wanted to send Bill a heartfelt birthday message, but were unable to post a reply to Hillary’s tweet due to the restricted responses.
Happy Birthday, President Clinton. #BePeacehttps://t.co/VV54aP9ZPH
Bill’s birthday happens to fall after a bombshell report by the Daily Mail, who on Tuesday published previously unreleased pictures of him apparently getting a shoulder rub from one of Epstein’s alleged victims. The former president was addressing the Democratic National Convention the same day as the images were published.
