Hillary Clinton will receive an award for her work in protecting and advancing humanitarian rights across the globe at a Swansea University ceremony on October 14.
The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic candidate is being celebrated by the Welsh university, which says "her cause is shared" by its Observatory on the Human Rights of Children and Young People. Clinton will receive an honorary doctorate, and is expected to deliver a speech on humanitarian issues during the event.
Clinton is a figure of "enormous international significance and one synonymous with human rights," the university’s Vice Chancellor professor Richard Davies told the BBC on Friday. "It is tremendous that she has chosen Swansea University for her first public appearance on this visit to the UK."
The contrast is almost stunning.
Here is the woman who inspired chants of "Lock her up," receiving an award for being a humanitarian, while the guy Putin helped win the election, blames American citizens for being "lazy" and allowing themselves to be devastated by a hurricane.
It will probably depress you to do so, but just imagine what the response to the crisis in Puerto Rico, and the potential conflict with North Korea, would have been with Hillary Clinton in charge of the country.
And then just imagine how much easier it would be for you to sleep at night.
