(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Hillary Clinton joined in on the conversation surrounding the controversial videos of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin inappropriately partying.
Clinton offered her support for Marin, telling her to “keep dancing” alongside a picture of herself dancing as secretary of state in Cartagena, Columbia.
As Ann Richards said, “Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.”
Here’s me in Cartagena while I was there for a meeting as Secretary of State.
Keep dancing, @marinsanna. pic.twitter.com/btAtUFOcNV

According to The Daily Wire, Marin has been under fire for videos showing her dancing scandalously with a man who is not her husband, and along with bare-chested women kissing at a party at her official residence.
Marin responded to Clinton, thanking her publicly.
Thank you @HillaryClinton ❤️ https://t.co/8XU9RKUlas

She also issued an apology for the photo of the topless women, telling reporters that she invited friends over to “sauna, swim and spend time together” after a music festival.

“In my opinion that photo is not appropriate. I apologize for that; that photo shouldn’t have been taken,” she said.
“We were using the sauna facilities and the garden area, but we did not spend time inside the Kesäranta house, although the downstairs guest toilets were in use,” Marin added.
If you were in office, would you be ok both of these pictures? Both are from PM’s video conferencing room. One is from a party she organized. I’ll let you guess which one.
It is not about dancing, sex or age. It is about decency and what is proper and what is not. pic.twitter.com/Frq2qzbLCQ— Hugo Fitlund 🇺🇦🇫🇮 (@hobfit1) August 28, 2022
Women who believe Marin is under attack have been supporting her on social media using the tag #SolidarityWithSanna. Many claim that Marin is being unfairly judged because she is a woman.
Marin has received criticism partying before, after a video of herself dancing intimately with a man who is not her husband.
There have been questions of whether or not Marin was high at either occasion, which she has denied despite people chanting slang for cocaine in the video.
