Hillary Clinton awkwardly has a crack at the Macarena after husband Bill was named in the Epstein document dump
- A video of Hillary Clinton attempting to dance the Macarena with the band Los Del Rio in Spain has gone viral
- It’s not the first time she’s been filmed trying out the moves after clapping along as others danced in 1996.
A video of Hillary Clinton awkwardly attempting to dance the Macarena with the band Los Del Rio in Spain has gone viral.
Clinton was filmed grinning and wiggling her hands as the two musicians on either side of her danced the right moves.
She was in Seville for a party in her honor at the Palacio de Duenas, after meeting in Madrid with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares.
This is not the first time Clinton has been filmed trying to enter the Macarena.
In 1996, the then-first lady was filmed at the Democratic National Convention, awkwardly clapping along as people danced around her.
Initially, Clinton seemed to try these steps, but she quickly gave up
Instead, she shook her shoulders and shifted from foot to foot
She smiled in bewilderment as she was pulled onto the dance floor by the band
The latest clip shows Clinton being led to the dance floor by the band before taking center stage.
At first she seems to try the moves, holding out one hand and then the other, but she quickly gives up.
She then stands there while the band sings, smiles, claps and moves from foot to foot.
The video was shared on Instagram by Spanish aristocrat Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, who organized the party in her honor.
Other guests of honor were David Bisbal and President of the Junta de Andalucía Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla.
Some viewers pointed out that Clinton should have known the moves since it was played repeatedly during her husband Bill’s campaigns.
But in a recently surfaced video of the 1996 DNC, it appears Clinton didn’t know the moves then either, clapping her hands as other attendees performed the routine.
Clinton is mentioned several times in Jeffrey Epstein’s court papers – and while he is not accused of any wrongdoing, the documents cast an unwelcome spotlight on his friendship with the late pedophile financier.

The viral video comes as Bill Clinton deals with the fallout from Jeffrey Epstein’s recently unsealed documents, accusing him of “finding them young.”
The former president, 77, used to be previously on holiday in Latin America with his wife Hillary Clinton during the unsealing of the Epstein documents that began on January 3.
Clinton is mentioned several times in the court papers – and while he is not accused of any wrongdoing, the documents cast an unwelcome spotlight on his friendship with the late pedophile financier.
One of Epstein’s victims, Johanna Sjoberg, claimed that Epstein told her that Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls.”
Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet several times and once publicly praised the financier’s intellect and philanthropic efforts.
Sjoberg testified in her deposition that she never met Clinton, and none of Epstein’s victims accused Clinton of sexual impropriety.
Clinton previously said through a spokesperson that while he traveled on Epstein’s plane, he never visited his homes, had no knowledge of his crimes and had not spoken to Epstein since his conviction in Florida.
