Hillary Clinton promo for Columbia foreign policy course mercilessly mocked
March 23, 2023
Hillary Clinton’s video gag about her new teaching gig at Columbia University bombed online, where critics slammed the school, mocked the former secretary of state’s enthusiasm and called her a warmonger.
In the video promoting the foreign policy course, students and Clinton’s co-teacher, Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, gush about the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate “running again.”
Clinton runs with the lame pun.
“Well, I sure am, Keren, I just got here early for the new class we’re teaching together on foreign policy decision-making,” she says in the skit.
“Classes don’t start until September,” Yarhi-Milo responds — to which Clinton counters she just wants to be prepared.
“Prepared? I think you’re more prepared than anyone to teach this course,” Yarhi-Milo adds.
The “Inside the Situation Room” course will have students “examine decision-making in a variety of historical and contemporary contexts, from the search for Osama bin Laden, to the ‘red line’ in Syria, to negotiating with Iran,” according to a press release from Columbia.
The video sent Twitter into a tizzy.
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald blasted Clintonfor urging “more wars than anyone” in the last three decades.
“The US official who has urged more wars than anyone over the last 3 decades with the possible exception of John Bolton – including Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine – is teaching Columbia students a class called ‘Foreign-Policy Decision-Making,’” Greenwald wrote. “And boy they’re excited!”
