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.

Why was she scheduled during exams? Seems that Hillary’s advance team is as incompetent as she has been all these years.
And that’s a liberal school!
With liberals, there is always an excuse for something unexpected or which casts them in a bad light. Always.
Heck we’ve heard this from Obama and his henchmen for six years now. Everything bad that happens is blamed on inherited problems from previous presidents, the weather, unforeseen overseas crises, not spending enough on stimulus bills due to GOP opposition, Obamacare not being comprehensive enough due to GOP opposition, etc.
So not surprised this is not due to people not wanting to see Hillary. It has to be some other reason.............
Sandra Fluke’s alma mater ( and yep, she lost in her first congressional run too ).
Wonder what the cost per person was?
Thanks for posting this picture. Its worth a thousand words!
Bishop John Carroll who founded Georgetown would be absolutely appalled.
Because no one cared to listen to her at all. The entire point was for Leftists in charge of University cash to funnel it to another Leftist that they support.
If she was a LGBT in a burka shouting “hands up don’t shoot” the place would be packed to the rafters.
If they had 350 people, they were lucky.

True that! Well said.
Nothing is ever their fault. Being a liberal means never having to acknowledge failure.
Even liberals can’t stand the sound of her voice for very long.
That's the lamest excuse there is.
Killary is losing her halo. A halo she never deserved.
My daughter went to Grove City College ( she’s graduates since and is now working ). In 2011, Clarence Thomas was invited to speak.
My daughter and her friend arrived five minutes late to the auditorium and had to be turned away. The whole place was jam packed.
