In a viral video, former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton were seen clumsily navigating the streets of New York City this week. As they approached a crosswalk, Bill appeared to nudge Hillary forward, prompting her to pull back and protest, "No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that." The awkward encounter unfolded as the couple was walking in the city after attending an event and visiting their daughter, Chelsea Clinton.

Why it matters

The video has sparked discussion about the Clintons' apparent difficulty navigating public spaces, raising questions about their security and transportation arrangements as high-profile public figures. Some have also made light-hearted comparisons between Hillary's outfit and that of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

The details

In the video, Bill Clinton can be seen smiling as he pushes his wife into the adjoining crosswalk, in an apparent attempt to jaywalk. Hillary Clinton then pulls back and raises her hands in front of her to avoid being thrust into the street. Moments later, the crosswalk signal changes, and the pair, accompanied by what appears to be a security detail, cross the street without incident.
