Protesters at alma mater appearance label Hillary Clinton as ‘war criminal’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced student protests during a visit to her alma mater, Wellesley College, on Saturday. Clinton had returned to campus to receive the honor of a college building being named after her. However, protesters lined up to harass attendees of a women-led democracy summit on campus that also featured Clinton.

Local news outlets reported that angry students circulated pamphlets around campus labeling Clinton as Wellesley’s “most beloved war criminal” and accusing her of having “blood on her hands.” While school administrators acknowledged the protest, they did not condemn it. Vice president and dean of students Sheilah Shaw Horton urged activists to follow the demonstration policy and be mindful of the Code of Student Conduct to ensure their safety and that of the community.

This is not the first time Clinton has faced protests during her visits to American universities. In February, protesters repeatedly interrupted her appearance at Columbia University, calling her a “war criminal.” The recent protest at Wellesley College comes just days after Clinton criticized U.S. voters during an appearance on the “Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, urging them to recognize the importance of the upcoming election and the choices at hand.

Despite the protests and criticism, Clinton remains a prominent figure in American politics, continuing to engage with the public and share her perspectives on current issues.
