Bill Clinton Joins Twitter, Gets 180,000 Followers, Follows Stephen Colbert.
Former President Bill Clinton earlier this month joined Twitter, thanks entirely to Stephen Colbert. A few days later, Clinton’s now verified account has over 180,000 followers and in turn, the 66-year old follows… Stephen Colbert. Then, a few minutes later, Chelsea Clinton. And then the Clinton Global Initiative.
I’m sure I’m on his list of people to follow.
Soon.
Just spent amazing time with Colbert!Is he sane? He is cool! #cgiu
