Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky trolled Vice President Mike Pence on Twitter over a comment that he made on Tuesday while speaking to members of the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian non-profit group.

Defending his wife, Karen, who teaches at an anti-LGBTQ Christian school, Pence spoke of how best to deal with critics. "Number one is, spend more time on your knees than on the internet," he told the crowd.

Apparently, the use of a double entendre - the other meaning obviously takes you to a sex act - when it came to the statement, did not strike the 60-year-old Republican.

The comment was tweeted out by journalist Lauren Duca, with the question, "OK, who’s gonna tell him?”

Lewinsky, who has repeatedly been maligned by members of Pence's political party for spending more time on her knees during her stint at the White House - alluding to her scandalous affair with former President Bill Clinton - hilariously replied on Duca's post, saying, "Def not me."

A photograph showing former White House intern Monica Lewinsky meeting President Bill Clinton at a White House function submitted as evidence in documents by the Starr investigation and released by the House Judicary committee September 21, 1998.

Her answer amused many of her social media followers. "You are a reminder to me every day that when we women own our story it gives us the power. And you are using some of your power to freaking own the Internet!" one wrote, while another just said, "queen."

Back in 2016, when Pence was till a vice presidential nominee, he called the Lewinsky scandal “the most appalling behavior” of any president in US history. Talking in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” the former Indiana governor defended the-then presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, saying that the business mogul-turned-political candidate apologized for remarks he made about groping women the Access Hollywood video that surfaced at the time.

However former President “Bill Clinton didn’t just talk about doing things, he did them.”

“It took a while to find all that out. He was under oath in 1998 and he finally came clean on having taken advantage of a 23-year-old intern at the White House named Monica Lewinsky, in the most appalling behavior by an American president in the history of this country,” Pence said.

He added: "People are getting awful tired of this two-on-one fight with many of you in the national media doing half of Hillary Clinton’s work for her every day."
