One person posted a picture of late U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who died in the Benghazi terror attack along with three other Americans.
This week, when the official State Department picture of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was shown, people on social media made fun of it.
Several well-known accounts on X made fun of the picture and criticized Clinton for the honor, pointing out that four U.S. officials were killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, while Clinton was in charge of the State Department.
The official presentation took place at the State Department offices in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Current Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave Clinton the honor.
During the event, the painting was taken down, showing a picture of Clinton standing in a green dress in front of an American flag.
When Clinton smiled and laughed when he saw the picture for the first time, the crowd cheered.
Later, X got the picture from the 67th Secretary of State. She wrote in the post’s description, “Today, I was pleased to return to the @StateDept and help @SecBlinken reveal my official picture as the 67th Secretary of State. We’re happy to share it with the people of the United States right here, in case you can’t make it to offices in Foggy Bottom soon.”
In a later post, the former Democratic presidential candidate talked about her first days in the job: “When I walked into the State Department as Secretary fourteen years ago, I knew that having the honor to lead the State Department and USAID would be a singular challenge and a unique chance to do good in the world. It was all of that and more.”
“I’m very proud of everything we’ve done, and I’m thankful to everyone at the Department for working so hard to make sure peace, growth, and wealth happen all over the world. Clinton said, “They continue to make me and our country proud.”
But X users made fun of the former top U.S. official because of the picture.
Co-founder of the Federalist Sean Davis replied to Clinton’s post with a picture of late U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the attack along with three other Americans.
Eric Spracklen, a digital expert and conservative X user, said, “The American people, on the other hand, were unhappy to see it.
In response to Clinton’s tweet, the official account for the House Judiciary Committee sent a picture of the city of Benghazi.
