Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at the Georgetown Institute For Women, Peace and Security and it seems like hardly anyone showed up.
Clinton's remarks on "Smart Power: Security Through Inclusive Leadership" were delivered at Georgetown's Gaston Hall, an auditorium that seats more than 700 people. However, based on tweets from those who attended the event, many seats were empty.
Update (1:40 p.m.): Georgetown spokesperson Stacy Kerr sent a statement to Business Insider noting there has been large turnout for past events at the school with Clinton. She also suggested the fact it is the last week before final exams may have contributed to lower turnout this time.

Hillary is making excuses.
What a sad sight for a woman running for the most powerful office on earth.
Its typical of her to blame others for her lack of political acumen.
Just the vintage Hillary we have come to know and love.
I went to Georgetown. Yes, there are many such opportunities to see politicians speak.
After a while though, the novelty is gone, and you feel you can get the same cliches and political bullish** by watching CNN. After all, Washington DC is awash in it.
Heck, that didn’t stop me from attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago!
So Hillary’s class resulted in no attendance.
HMMM
I thought FINAL exams were in June prior graduation? Or is that FINAL FINAL exams?
Why these (advertised) Catholic Schools not only allow but pay these Heathens to speak is beyond me.
I can just picture a devout Catholic not only being invited to a Mosque for a Political event BUT being able to ‘demand’ they remove ANY sign of it being a Mosque.
If it ‘bothers’ you (the decor) rent the local Arena, Convention Center or even the Field House (where one is less likely to be ‘disrespected’ by a Statue or Cross or something equally as threatening).
So Hillary’s class resulted in no attendance

Nicely played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was fixing to say the words Hillary (HRC) and class don’t belong in the same room, much less sentence.
Is Georgetown still pretending that it is a real university?
With a voice that grates like chalk on sandpaper and her being a schoolmarm scold, its a wonder any one can stand Her Heinousness.
If liberals can’t warm up to her, why should the rest of us lesser mortals find her suitably attractive?
The enthusiasm for her is quite low in Georgetown and she got thrown under the 2016 inevitability bus.
I wonder how many in the audience were reporters and professors.
Ah “the dog ate my homework” excuse.
If she was a student at Georgetown, her professor wouldn’t give her the time of day.
No wonder no one showed up at her honorarium there.
Heck, that didn’t stop me from attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago!
= = = = = = = = = = =
Not really all that interested etc but one may wonder where the Basketball team and their entourage was during that time period?????
You can bet they weren’t ‘worried’ about Final Exams...
The liberal message seems to be getting stale. It appears that people are losing interest in never-ending, self righteous rants and instead want to hear viable and practical solutions to our pressing national problems, which are getting worse by the day. Ideologues like Hillary and her ilk are turning people off.
Maybe cause “The NewCar Smell” is long gone and the real stench is too much
HilLIARy would be NOTHING if she did not ride Bill’s coat tails.
She was fired from the Watergate commission going after Nixon for lying and unethical behavior- which should have been career suicide.
How did womanizer Bill end up with her? I think it was symbiotic- he oozed charisma from his pores- she was the crafty schemer who got him to do what he needed to do.
He has NOT needed her in a long time, but she knows where all the bodies are buried (probably literally)
I seem to recall “finals” were in May...
” Georgetown spokesperson Stacy Kerr sent a statement “
LIE : )
I seem to recall “finals” were in May
= = = = = = =
Yeah, May but definitely NOT the month prior Christmas.
Though I guess they do have graduations spread out more than before?
I really don’t know because I had my fill of ‘higher education’ in my Senior Year of HS, which I chose not to complete and never looked back.
Of course, since I didn’t spend thousands of dollars on ‘advanced education’, today I am left a ‘blubbering idiot’ who can’t spell, use proper punctuation or count higher than 20 unless I drop trou or even spell CAT if you give me the K and A.
I could see the flawed ‘system’ back in 53 when I went from a Catholic School after 9th Grade and was so far ahead of my ‘peers’ in the Public School system I even took TYPING in 1955 High School. And that was New York State who, at the time, was considered to be among the Educational Leaders when it came to Public (Government) Schools.
Hillary’s Staff will be Horse whipped for not filling the seats
Probably the only students there were ones receiving extra credit for going and writing a short paper on her rants!
I remember when Bill Clinton was going to land in Austin, TX. and they were all but paying us to fill seats! I told them I care not to even see him on TV much less in person, giving away my political leanings, haa!
