WASHINGTON, DC: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Wellesley College, her alma mater on Saturday, April 6, where she was met with student protestors, Fox News reports.

Clinton was invited to the campus to accept the distinction of having a college building dedicated to her honor. Demonstrators gathered on campus to intimidate guests at a symposium on women-led democracy that also included Clinton.

The school administration did not denounce the protest with Vice President and Dean of Students Sheilah Shaw Horton saying in a statement, "I encourage all who participate in activism to follow the demonstration policy and be mindful of our Code of Student Conduct so that you remain safe for yourself, and for our community."

Being met with protests is not new for Clinton. During a visit to Columbia University in February, she was repeatedly stopped by protesters who called her a "war criminal."

The Wellesley College protest comes days after Clinton rebuked American voters on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'. The host questioned Clinton on how she would respond to those who are "upset" that they only have two options - former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

Clinton replied, "Get over yourself. Those are the two choices. One is old, and effective, and compassionate, has a heart and really cares about people. And one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies."



 

She added, "I don't understand why this is even a hard choice, really. I don't understand it. But we have to go through the election and hopefully people will realize what's at stake because it's an existential question."

She also said, "What kind of country we're gonna have, what kind of democracy we can have and people who blow that off are not paying attention because it's not like Trump, his enablers, his empowerers, his allies are not telling us what they want to do. I mean, they're pretty clear about what kind of country they want."

Internet divided as students protest during Hillary Clinton's visit to Wellesley College

A person added, "That's right, when leaders forgot to impact the youth that's what happens" while one stated, "This blood on whoever’s hands mantra regardless of who it’s aimed at is really getting old. Just another buzzword to rile up the masses."



 



 

One user however slammed Clinton saying, "-Scandalous First Lady of AK and US -Almost no legislative record as Senator -Mediocre SecState -Lost winnable POTUS election -One of the worst retail politicians of our time How is it that she still has a platform?"



 

Another user lashed out at Clinton, "She’s easily the most vile and evil person to ever hold office"
