Hillary Clinton to speak Tuesday at new State Department museum bearing her name

Hillary Clinton returns to Washington, and to the scene of her last government job, for the ceremonial opening next week of a new exhibition and museum area at the State Department that will be partly named for her.

Clinton is slated to speak at the ceremony and reception on Tuesday, alongside fellow former secretaries of state Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell, according to an invitation to the event, which has not been announced. It would be only her second public appearance in Washington since losing the Nov. 8 election.

One of the four exhibition halls in the U.S. Diplomacy Center will be called the Hillary Clinton Pavilion, with others named for former secretaries James A. Baker and Henry Kissinger, and for current Secretary of State John F. Kerry.

The approximately $50 million glass-fronted addition to the hulking State Department building will house a museum of diplomatic history and artifacts. It is also meant to give a welcoming front door to a forbidding structure otherwise walled off by security gates and concrete barriers.

Does anyone else think the thing looks like a stylized White House?

Trump should change the name because we do not want a well known criminal with a building named for her.



To: shove_it

so...there is NOBODY in the entire 240-year history of American diplomacy who is more worthy of this honor?

She’s still part of the oligarchy, even though she hasn’t reached the top of the greasy pole



To: shove_it

Did she give them a special rate for her speech? After all she committed some of her most outrageous crimes shoulder to shoulder with these folks. Just saying....

“Hillary Clinton to speak Tuesday at new State Department museum bearing her name” ???? Just how the hell did THAT happen?

Tax payer funds? Isn’t this a building where Federal workers are supposed to take care of business? Don’t we have a Smithsonian for stuff like this?

Hillary and Kerry are too of the worst examples of secs state. Whose lame brained idea was it to name anything after either of them?

I hear the building has a plumbing problem but that they are sure its the Russians fault.

"One of the four exhibition halls in the U.S. Diplomacy Center will be called the Hillary Clinton Pavilion, with others named for former secretaries James A.

Rip that criminal fraud’s name off that building annex. How disgusting and insulting to Patriots.



To: shove_it

That’s adding insult to injury IMO. It should be named “Benghazi Disaster” or Trump should just give the State Department two options: Pull the damn name, or shut it the hell down.

Do they have a wall with pictures of stolen Haitian children?
