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.
