I heard that some US people walked out on her speech in China! They wouldn’t release the names the last I read. Others called her speech brilliant!

I respectfully offer a suggestion. You "heard" that some people walked out on her speech. Also, when it was first announced we all "heard" that the invitation was an insider joke at her expense. Finally, we have heard and read that her speech was brilliant. All these are merely assertions or are simply hearsay - there is no way to prove them. More importantly, because they are subjective and unprovable they are irrelevant.

However, the full text of her speech is available online. We can all read it and judge it for ourselves. That is the only valid basis for making an accurate evaluation. We should all base our opinions on verifiable data, not the subjective antics of those who walk out to make a statement, or those who are already singing the praises.

The speech stands or fall on its own - not on the antics or opinions of others and their agendas.

Lol, need a podium to stand on?

I didn’t ‘hear’, I READ on The Drudge Report that some walked out on her speech.

I did read some of her speech but not 90 minutes worth.
