Hillary Clinton tells Finnish PM Sanna Marin: ‘Keep dancing’

On Aug 29, 2022

Hillary Clinton is throwing down in support of Finland’s party-loving prime minister, Sanna Marin, reliving her own scandal from strutting her stuff in office — and urging her to “keep dancing” through the backlash.

The doomed Democratic presidential candidate linked Marin, 36, to a throwback photo of when she also made headlines 10 years ago for tearing up the dance floor and swigging a beer while representing the US.

“As Ann Richards said, ‘Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels,’” wrote Clinton, 74, citing a now-famous quote by the late former Gov. of Texas.

“Here’s me in Cartagena while I was there for a meeting as Secretary of State,” wrote Clinton of the snap of her letting off steam in Colombia at the end of the VI Summit of the Americas in 2012.

“Keep dancing, @marinsanna,” tweeted the supportive former first lady.

Her message quickly racked up more than 150,000 likes, including from the Finnish leader herself.

The Finnish leader — one of the world’s youngest heads of state at just 36 — has faced escalating pressure after someone shared videos of her dancing wildly, with opponents questioning if she was on drugs.

Other leaks showed the married mom dancing with a mystery man as well as hosting topless influencers at her official summer residence.

She tearfully apologized last week, insisting, “I am also human.”

The prime minister also revealed took a drug test to prove she was not under the influence. The test came back negative.

Clinton had also faced a backlash after she was seen tearing up the dancefloor and swigging a beer as she partied with about 12 pals at Cartagena’s Cafe Havana.

Still, it was one of many scandals she survived, with The Post at the time noting she was just “Havana a heck of a good time.”

Post columnist Andrea Peyser even eyed it as proof Clinton was ready to launch her doomed run for the White House.

While Marin appreciated the support, not everyone in the European nation felt the same.

Some Finnish people urged Clinton to keep her nose out of their politics, telling her to instead “take care of US domestic policy.”

Another critic wrote: “Well, dear Hillary and Marin, is this the right time to dance, and have a party. I don`t think so. The whole world is falling apart. Or, is that the reason why you celebrate?”
