Hillary Clinton speaks at 8th grade graduation in Bay Area

SAN FRANCISCO — Former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton made a surprise visit to a private, all girls school in San Francisco on Friday and spoke at its 8th grade graduation ceremony.

Clinton rolled up to the Hamlin School in Pacific Heights at about 9:45 a.m. after the Secret Service arrived minutes earlier, clearing the area, according to a report on ABC 7.

Clinton’s appearance had been rumored for several days, family members of students posted on Twitter, but it was not formally announced or publicized. The school did post a video of faculty members rehearsing America the Beautiful before the graduation.

Hamlin’s head of school could not be reached Friday afternoon.

Mary Powell, the grandmother of a graduate, told ABC-7 that Clinton’s appearance was “thrilling. I think San Francisco is a very warm place for the secretary to come. She is going to be greeted very enthusiastically. I think the kids are going to be over the top in terms of what she has to tell them.”

A granddaughter of Clinton’s close friend Democratic donor and activist Susie Tompkins Buell was among the school’s graduates, ABC-7 reported.

Clinton was in San Francisco to pick up a leadership award Thursday night from the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Pro-gun groups spent millions of dollars in opposing her 2016 presidential bid.

For starters she probably told her audience what happened.

Good question. I don’t think she ever has spoken in the hood. She prefers elite private schools.

“Let me first say a big ‘Thank You’ to all the girls of Hamlin School. Thanks for your generous contribution to my Clinton Foundation. Tell your parents that the amount is tax deductible, and should more or less remain the same amount for each monthly contribution for the next 15 years. Thank You, Girls for your vote of confidence. I am truly touched!”

Here's a fun game to play. It's called, "let's count the black kids at the liberal elite private school!"

I'm up to 1.

Excuse #3,453 for "what happened". But this time, she might have a point.

The NRA Placed Big Bets on the 2016 Election, and Won Almost All of Them

"If that's true... then maybe your best course would be to tread lightly."

Why would she go to an elitist school that excludes boys and crossdressers and stuff?

She needs a new 'personal assistant'.

Wow, a j-high graduation is a far cry from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Lol.

I wonder if they confiscated the student’s cell phones and video cameras prior to Hillary’s appearance. If so, I’m sure that went over well.

You know a certain two-time loser, presidential candidate is over the hill when her handlers book her as the keynote speaker at middle school graduations.

The quid pro quo donations to the Clinton Foundation must have dried up when her power evaporated after that unexpected election result in November 2016.

Expect a "Dead Broke Duex" book tour when the spigot is shut off completely.
