It’s hard to overstate the symbolic power of sitting down. Today, a football player’s refusal to stand for the National Anthem has garnered headline upon headline. Twenty-two years ago, a seated couple protested one of the world’s most beloved figures.
In a truly iconic American scene that still captures the attention—and confusion—of the Washington elite, then-President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, sat in stunned silence amid a standing ovation that followed Mother Teresa’s address at the National Prayer Breakfast.
The applause lasted a solid five minutes after Mother Teresa’s address. Long before the days of “virtue-signaling,” however, the Clintons were sending a message of dissent loud and clear to the woman now officially canonized a saint in the Catholic Church for her “heroic virtue.”
Abortion, the Destroyer of Love
The Clintons’ seated dissent had everything to do with Mother Teresa’s courageous stand for the sanctity of life, which echoed her earlier comments in her 1979 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.
“Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want,” she said. “This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”

Liberals love and embrace the murder of the unborn, especially from poor, minority families.
On another thread somebody posted that after that prayer breakfast Hillary asked Mother Theresa why there hadn’t been a woman president yet. Mother Theresa’s answer: “perhaps she was aborted”.

Wow!
Is there actual video of this despicable action by the Clintons?
Perfect answer!!!
There must be a video somewhere, I haven’t looked.
I doubt it, for two reasons. The time elapsed takes you back to the "dark ages" of video and if it had existed, it would have been "disappeared" by now.
Hillary USED Mother Teresa to get votes when she was running previously.

Yet another example of the utter crassness of the Clintons.
I wonder how Cankles reacted to the recent canonization of St. Theresa of Calcutta. Probably spit on the ground.
